Diacleu: An introduction to dialect classifications in Europe. 4th issue
This is the fourth issue of DIACLEU, Dialect classifications of languages in Europe, published in Dialectologia. In the first issue (Dialectologia 2022, special issue X, ) the project was introduced. It also contains a theoretical paper on dialectometry, and an overview of classifications of Basque, Finnish, Gallo-Roman, Greenlandic, Irish, Italian, Luxembourgish, Norwegian and Welsh dialects. In the second issue (Dialectologia 2023, special issu…
Placing Accents. A Quantitave, Perceptual-Dialectological Study of Language Variation in West Frisian
There is a moderate body of work on Frisian dialectology, but no known insight about how Frisians perceive and recognize regional variation. The current study investigates the recognition of Frisian varieties using the map-based accent-recognition task and examines how accurately Frisian listeners can recognize speakers’ regional origin, which Frisian accents listeners distinguish and whether perceptual isoglosses delineate different accents. The…
Diacleu. An introduction to dialect classifications in Europe. 3rd issue
This issue starts with a theoretical contribution by Jean Léo Léonard. He introduces the theory of Complex and Adaptive Dynamical Systems (CADS) (Gros 2015) and how it can contribute to the theories and methods of dialect classification. Two case studies are presented to show how it can be applied. The first study focuses on Mazatec, a Popolocan language spoken in Mexico. The second one focusses on a language spoken in Europe, Occitan, one of the…
Visible Vowels as a Tool for the Study of Language Transfer
In this paper, we demonstrate the use of Visible Vowels to detect formant and durational differences between L2 and L1 speakers. We used a dataset that contains vowel measures from L1 speakers of French and from L2 learners of French, with Italian, Spanish and English as L1. We found that vowels that are not part of the L1 phonological system are often pronounced differently by L2 speakers. Inspired by the Native Language Magnet Theory which was …
Diacleu. An introduction to dialect classifications in Europe. 2nd issue
This issue starts with a theoretical contribution on the genealogical classification of languages by Matej Šekli. He also addresses some hot topics in the genealogical linguistic interpretation of Slavic, namely the dialect delimitation of East South Slavic (i.e., Macedonian versus Bulgarian), Central South Slavic as a linguistic area, the East Slavic languages, Kashubian in relation to Polish and Sorbian in the context of West Slavic. Šekli’s co…
Diacleu. An introduction to dialect classifications in Europe
Europe is the cradle of dialectology and in most European countries the study of geographical language variation has an almost century long tradition. In fact, regional variation and the dialects of all the national and most of the indigenous minority languages spoken in Europe have been the topic of scientific research. Classifications of dialects and dialect groups have been produced for each of these languages. Despite the numerous language-ce…
A qualitative and quantitative study of self-reported positive characteristics of individuals with ADHD
Research in Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has had a clear focus on treatment and the dysfunction in specific situation associated with the condition. However, self-report, observational and anecdotal evidence indicates that there are also positive aspects associated with ADHD. Research on the potential positive features in individuals with an ADHD diagnosis is still limited, especially studies with larger representative samples.…
Minority language rights to education in international, regional, and domestic regulations and practices: The case of Frisian in the Netherlands
This paper examines minority language education in the Dutch province of Fryslân from a rights-based approach. To conduct the analysis, we employed a qualitative (legal) content analysis. We explored minority language rights at different levels to answer the following question: To what extent are international and regional standards on minority-language education applied domestically to education in Frisian and through the medium of the Frisian l…
Linking Variation in Perception and Production in Sound Change: Evidence from Dutch Obstruent Devoicing
This study investigates the link between the perception and production in sound change in progress, both at the regional and the individual level. Two devoicing processes showing regional variation in Dutch are studied: the devoicing of initial labiodental fricatives and of initial bilabial stops. Five regions were selected, to represent different stages of change in progress. For each region, 20 participants took part in production (Study 1) and…
Bildts as a mixed language
Bildts is a speech variety spoken by around 10,000 persons as a first or second language in the province Fryslân, in the north of the Netherlands. It is commonly claimed to be a dialect of Dutch containing some Frisian loan words. This article provides an analysis of Bildts based on a comparison of Bildts with its source languages: Frisian on the one hand and specific dialects of the province of South Holland on the other hand. It argues that Bil…
Children’s use of Bahasa Indonesia in Jakarta kindergartens
At a very young age children living in Jakarta use both Colloquial Jakarta Indonesia and Bahasa Indonesia. The children’s first and most used language is Colloquial Jakarta Indonesia. In the formal school setting Bahasa Indonesia is frequently used and stimulated on a daily basis, and the learning process of Bahasa Indonesia is accelerated. The question addressed in this article is: how do these children choose from their repertoire of language v…
Constructing Identities through Multilingualism and MultiscriptualismThe Linguistic Landscape in Dutch and Belgian Chinatowns多元语言文字中的认同建构——以荷兰、比利 时唐人街的语言风貌为例
This paper examines characteristics of the linguistic landscape ( ll ) in Chinatowns in Belgium and the Netherlands. Fieldwork was conducted in four cities in the Netherlands (Amsterdam, Utrecht, The Hague, and Rotterdam) and two in Belgium (Brussels and Antwerp). All these cities are situated in the Dutch language area, but Brussels is officially bilingual French-Dutch. In the study, the traditional approach in linguistic landscape studies was c…
Variation in Standard Dutch vowels: The impact of formant measurement methods on identifying the speaker's regional origin
It is common practice in sociophonetics to measure vowel formants at one (monophthongs) or two (diphthongs) time points. This paper compares this traditional target approach with two dynamic approaches for investigating regional patterns of variation: the multiple time point approach, which measures formants at successive time points, and the regression approach, which estimates formant dynamics over time by fitting polynomial regression equation…
Will Dutch become Flemish? Autonomous developments in Belgian Dutch
In this paper a series of studies of standard Dutch pronunciation in Belgium and the Netherlands is presented. The research is based on two speech corpora: a diachronic corpus of radio speech (1935–1995) and a synchronic corpus of Belgian and Netherlandic standard Dutch from different regions at the turn of the millennium. It is shown that two divergent pronunciation standards have been developing, but it is argued that the divergence will not cr…

Examining the Yes/No vocabulary test: Some methodological issues in theory and practice
This article evaluates the characteristics of the Yes/No test as a measure for receptive vocabulary size in second language (L2). This evaluation was conducted both on theoretical grounds as well as on the basis of a large corpus of data collected with French learners of Dutch. The study focuses on the internal qualities of the format in comparison with other more classical test formats. The central issue of determining a meaningful test score is…
