What happens

Mooie woorden was een Nederlandse 15-delige sociolinguïstische programmaserie over taal en taalgebruik, die tussen 1993 en 1995 werd uitgezonden door de educatieve omroep RVU. Het idee was van de toenmalige programmadirecteur van de RVU Gerard Kempers, de makers waren de neerlandica Hanneke Houtkoop, en de programmamaker Theo Uittenbogaard. Onderzoekers waren oud-studenten van Hanneke Houtkoop aan de Universiteit van Utrecht, de latere radiomaker/auteur Mathijs Deen en de latere tv-maker Maaik Krijgsman. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
