    Explores participation experiences of students with hearing loss in mainstream schools. • Direct involvement of students addresses gap in research on participation barriers. • Demonstrates the interplay of personal and environmental factors for participation. • Captures students’ practical, experience-based recommendations for improvement. • Findings call for more inclusive, learner-centered approaches in mainstream schools. Participation in scho…

  • Narrative and related spoken language skills—a comparison between German-speaking children who are hard of hearing and children with typical hearing

    Open AccessLara Hardebeck, Esther Ruigendijk et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Communication2024

    Introduction Narrative skills are crucial for academic success and social interaction. To date, few studies have looked at the specific impact of hearing loss on higher-level language skills, like narrative skills, especially in German-speaking children. This study is the first to analyze the narrative skills of German-speaking children who are hard of hearing. Method Specifically, we assessed and compared the narrative skills of two groups of sc…

  • Processing of noun plural marking in German-speaking children

    Open AccessBénédicte Grandon, Marcel Schlechtweg et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Language2024

    The ability to process plural marking of nouns is acquired early: at a very young age, children are able to understand if a noun represents one item or more than one. However, little is known about how the segmental characteristics of plural marking are used in this process. Using eye-tracking, we aim at understanding how five to twelve-year old children use the phonetic, phonological, and morphological information available to process noun plura…

  • Influence of capitalisation and presence of an article in noun phrase recognition in German

    Open AccessMargreet Vogelzang, Nanna Fuhrhop et al.ARTICLEJournal of Research in Reading2023

    Background German is exceptional in its use of noun capitalisation. It has been suggested that sentence‐internal capitalisation as in German may benefit processing by specifically marking a noun and thus a noun phrase (NP). However, other cues, such as a determiner, can also indicate an NP. The influence of capitalisation on processing may thus be context‐dependent, that is, dependent on other cues. Precisely this context dependency is investigat…

  • How L2-learners’ brains react to code-switches

    Open AccessEsther Ruigendijk, Gerd Hentschel et al.ARTICLESecond language Research2015Cited by: 5References: 3

    This Event Related Potentials (ERP) study investigates auditory processing of sentences with so-called code-switches in Russian learners of German. It has often been argued that switching between two languages results in extra processing cost, although it is not completely clear yet what exactly causes these costs. ERP presents a good method to (start to) answer this question, since different ERP effects provide insight in the underlying processe…

  • Determiner Omission in Dutch Agrammatic Aphasia

    Open AccessEsther RuigendijkARTICLEJournal of Germanic Linguistics2010

    This study compares speech production data of agrammatic aphasic speakers in Dutch, German, and English to examine the relative importance of different properties of determiners and pronouns (such as case, gender, definiteness) in these three languages. Agrammatic aphasic speakers omit determiners and use relatively few pronouns in their speech production. Ruigendijk (2007) compared Dutch and German-speaking agrammatic speakers’ performance and s…
