  • Mutual intelligibility of Dutch-German cognates by children

    Open AccessCharlotte Gooskens, Renée Van Bezooijen et al.ARTICLELinguistics2015

    Several studies (e.g., Ház 2005) have found German to be easier to understand for Dutch listeners than Dutch for German listeners. This asymmetry has been attributed to the fact that German is an obligatory subject in Dutch secondary school and that many Dutch people watch German television. In contrast, it is much less common for German children to learn Dutch at school and for German people to watch Dutch television. It cannot be excluded, howe…

  • Identification of Language Varieties

    Open AccessRenée Van Bezooijen, Charlotte GooskensARTICLEJournal of Language and Social…1999Cited by: 19References: 3

    Three experiments are described investigating the role of different linguistic levels in the identification of language varieties. The results reveal that prosodic features play a minor role in the identification of language varieties, both in the United Kingdom and in the Netherlands. The role of pronunciation varies. In some cases, pronunciation alone leads to better identification than cues at all linguistic levels, including pronunciation. Fu…

  • An Anatomy of Dutch Question Intonation

    Open AccessJudith Haan, J Bierens de Haan et al.ARTICLELinguistics in the Netherlands1997

    0.1. Aim of Ms research. In recent years, the formal elements of Dutch Intonation have been laid down in two comprehensive models ('t Hart, Collier and Cohen 1990, Gussenhoven and Rietveld 1992). With these two formal models at our disposal, the stage seems set for further explorations, notably of the relationship between form

  • Sociocultural Aspects of Pitch Differences between Japanese and Dutch Women

    Open AccessRenée Van BezooijenARTICLELanguage and Speech1995Cited by: 22References: 13

    Japanese women have been found to have higher pitches than Dutch women. This finding has been explained in the past by assuming that Japanese women raise their pitch in order to project a vocal image associated with feminine attributes of powerlessness. In the present study three hypotheses underlying such an assumption were tested experimentally: (1) the association of high pitch with attributes of physical and psychological powerlessness (short…

  • Accentedness Ratings and Phonological Variables as Measures of Variation in Pronunciation

    Open AccessRenée Van Bezooijen, Roeland Van HoutARTICLELanguage and Speech1985References: 7

    Verbally neutral, spontaneous speech samples were selected from interviews with 16 younger and 16 older males (mean ages 17 and 69 years, respectively) varying in socio-economic status (SES). All informants were native of Nijmegen, a city in the mideast of the Netherlands. The speech samples were rated with respect to the degree of accentedness and the pronunciation of six phonological variables with variants typical for the Nijmegen dialect. A f…

  • Recognition of Vocal Expressions of Emotion

    Open AccessRenée Van Bezooijen, Stanley A Otto et al.ARTICLEJournal of Cross-Cultural…1983Cited by: 10References: 14

    The results of three experiments showed that Dutch, Taiwanese, and Japanese adults were able to identify Dutch vocal expressions of emotion beyond chance expectancy. Inspection of the confusion data further revealed that, in addition to symmetrical confusions, there were quite a few confusions that were asymmetrical. The outcomes of a multidimensional scaling finally suggested that confusions were a function of similarity in levels of activity of…
