  • The BasisSpellingBank: A spelling database with knowledge stored as a lexicon of triplets

    Johan Zuidema, Anneke NeijtARTICLEWritten Language & Literacy2017

    The BasisSpellingBank is the first lexicon where the spellings and pronunciations of words are documented explicitly and separately for all relevant word parts. Unlike earlier descriptions of Dutch orthography in terms of rules and underlying forms, the BasisSpellingBank departs from the concept of storage and the way spelling is taught in schools. At its core are triplets of phoneme(s), grapheme(s), and the spelling category(s) which describe th…

  • Morphological variation in the speech of Frisian-Dutch bilinguals: (Dis)similarity of linking suffixes and plural endings

    Esther Hanssen, Arjen P Versloot et al.ARTICLELinguistic Approaches to…2015

    In standard Dutch, the plural suffix - en is homographic and homophonic with the linking suffix - en ( boek+en “books”, boek+en+kast “bookcase”), both being pronounced as schwa. In Frisian, there is neither homography nor homophony ( boek+en “books”, pronounced with syllabic nasal; boek+e+kast “bookcase”, pronounced with a linking schwa). Seeing that many areas of Frisian grammar are subject to interference from Dutch, we investigated whether Fri…

  • From t-bias to d-bias in Dutch: Evidence from children’s spelling and pronunciation

    Esther Hanssen, Robert Schreuder et al.ARTICLEWritten Language & Literacy2015

    Previous studies reveal that young Dutch children display a [t]-bias in the middle of words in pronunciation (e.g. van der Feest 2007; Kerkhoff 2007). First graders, however, display a 〈d〉-bias in the middle of words in their writings (Neijt & Schreuder 2007). The present study investigates children’s spelling and pronunciation of word medial d and t to examine this apparent contrast. It turned out that first graders started with a 〈t〉-bias in th…

  • Two languages, two sets of interpretations: Language-specific influences of morphological form on Dutch and English speakers' interpretation of compounds

    Open AccessArina Banga, Esther Hanssen et al.ARTICLECognitive Linguistics2013Cited by: 1References: 9

    The present study investigates linguistic relativity. Do form differences between Dutch and English influence the interpretations which speakers have? The Dutch element en in noun-noun compounds, for example in aardbeienjam ‘strawberry jam’ is homophonous and homographic with the regular plural suffix - en . English, in contrast, has no such typical linking elements in compounds. We therefore investigated the interpretation of Dutch modifiers in …

  • How subtle differences in orthography influence conceptual interpretation

    Arina Banga, Esther Hanssen et al.ARTICLEWritten Language & Literacy2012

    The present study investigates linguistic relativity. The units of writing investigated are e and en , which are used to represent units of language in Dutch, Frisian, and Afrikaans. Dutch has homographic forms in the plural suffix - en and the linking element of noun-noun compounds en . Frisian does not have homography of this kind, while Afrikaans has a different homography. This raises the question whether second language learners of Dutch con…

  • The 12321 model of Dutch spelling acquisition

    Open AccessAnneke Neijt, Maximilian Peters et al.ARTICLELinguistics in the Netherlands2012

    We propose that Dutch children acquire and use knowledge of Dutch spelling through a series of stages we call the 12321 model. At first, a single phase for the mapping of speech onto writing suffices, but in later stages of instruction, two or three mapping phases are needed. This is one aspect of our hypothesis about spelling development. The other aspect relates to experience, which allows for storage of the mapping relation between larger part…

  • The Similarity of Plural Endings and Linking Elements in Regional Speech Variants of Dutch

    Open AccessEsther Hanssen, Arina Banga et al.ARTICLELanguage and Speech2012References: 8

    The plural suffix - en ( noot+ en, ‘nuts’) is pronounced differently by speakers coming from different regions of the Netherlands. In this study, we compared the pronunciation of the plural suffix - en in phrases ( noot+ en kraken, ‘to crack nuts’) with linking en in compounds ( noot+ en+ kraker, ‘nutcracker’), because some claim that both are similar (Schreuder, Neijt, van der Weide, & Baayen, 1998), whereas others claim that they are not (Verku…

  • Analogy, Frequency, and Sound Change. The Case of Dutch Devoicing

    Open AccessJohan De Schryver, Anneke Neijt et al.ARTICLEJournal of Germanic Linguistics2008

    This study investigates the roles of phonetic analogy and lexical frequency in an ongoing sound change, the devoicing of fricatives in Dutch, which occurs mainly in the Netherlands and to a lesser degree in Flanders. In the experiment, Dutch and Flemish students read two variants of 98 words: the standard and a nonstandard form with the incorrect voice value of the fricative. Dutch students chose the non-standard forms with devoiced fricatives mo…

  • Word length and the location of primary word stress in Dutch, German, and English

    Open AccessMirjam Theresia Constantia Ernestus, Mirjam Ernestus et al.ARTICLELinguistics2008References: 7

    This study addresses the extent to which the location of primary stress in Dutch, German, and English monomorphemic words is affected by the syllables preceding the three final syllables. We present analyses of the monomorphemic words in the CELEX lexical database, which showed that penultimate primary stress is less frequent in Dutch and English trisyllabic than quadrisyllabic words. In addition, we discuss paper-and-pencil experiments in which …

  • The influence of spelling conventions on perceived plurality in compounds: A comparison of Afrikaans and Dutch

    Carel Jansen, Robert Schreuder et al.ARTICLEWritten Language & Literacy2007

    Dutch compounds with ‘e’ or ‘en’ as linking element between modifier and head were presented to mother tongue speakers of Afrikaans in an experimental setting that explored the possibility that these different spelling formats would suggest a singular or plural meaning of the modifier. The participants appeared to interpret ‘en’ in the linking element as an indication for singular, and ‘e’ as signifying plural. This outcome supported the findings…

  • Asymmetrical phoneme–grapheme mapping of coronal plosives in Dutch

    Anneke Neijt, Robert SchreuderARTICLEWritten Language & Literacy2007

    The distinction between deep and shallow orthographies is a central issue in studies of alphabetic writing. This paper aims to contribute to the debate on the relative merits of these by investigating how the coronal plosives [d] and [t] map onto the corresponding letters d and t. It turns out that an interesting asymmetry exists in word medial position in Dutch: both experienced users and children learning to write Dutch prefer ds over ts. Sever…

  • Rhythm versus Analogy: Prosodic Form Variation in Dutch Compounds

    Open AccessAnneke Neijt, Robert SchreuderARTICLELanguage and Speech2007Cited by: 3References: 19

    Creating compound nouns is the most productive process of Dutch morphology, with an interesting pattern of form variation. For instance, staat `nation' simply combines with kunde `art' ( staatkunde `political science, statesmanship'), but needs a linking element s or en to form staatsschuld `national debt' and statenbond `confederation'. Previous research has shown that the use of linking elements is guided by paradigmatic analogy, a factor that …

  • Formal and semantic constraints on the interpretation of the suffix ‐s in reading Dutch nominal compounds

    Anneke Neijt, R Harald Baayen et al.ARTICLEWritten Language & Literacy2006

    This study addresses the interpretation of a Dutch homonymic suffix, s , as it appears in Dutch compounds. In a series of reading experiments we manipulated the presence versus absence of this suffix in existing compounds as well as in compounds with a pseudoword as left constituent. We observed an asymmetry in the effects of addition and deletion, with deletion not affecting response latencies, and addition leading to increased identification la…

  • Productivity in context: A case study of a Dutch suffix

    Open AccessR Harald Baayen, Anneke Neijt et al.ARTICLELinguistics1997Cited by: 1

    The Dutch suffix -heid, like -ness in English, forms abstract nouns from adjectives.In this paper, we explore the hypothesis that -heid gives rise to two kinds o f abstract nouns: on the one hand, nouns referring to concepts, and on the other hand, nouns referring to states of affairs. An examination of a corpus of newspaper Dutch reveals that the referential function of -heid is typical for the low est-frequency words. , most o f which are neol …
