  • Recognizing vocal emotions in two unfamiliar languages: Universal patterns versus cultural and prosodic proximity

    Open Access•Yachan Liang, Vincent J Van Heuven et al.•ARTICLE•Phonetica•2026

    This study investigates cross-cultural and cross-linguistic vocal emotion recognition by testing American English and French listeners (Listener Language) listening to vocal emotions produced in Dutch and Korean (Speaker Language). Both listener groups recognized all emotions above chance, except for Pride in Korean by American English listeners (0.08), thereby supporting the Universality hypothesis (Elfenbein, H. A. 2013. Nonverbal dialects and …

  • Interpreting the Intensity of Vocal Emotions Across Cultures

    Open Access•Yachan Liang, Roeland Van Hout et al.•ARTICLE•Scandinavian Journal of Psychology•2026

    Intensity is a fundamental dimension of emotions that affects their perception. However, theoretical and empirical studies on intensity, particularly in the vocal domain, remain limited. Furthermore, research on the effects of emotional dimensions (e.g., arousal, valence, and basicness) on intensity ratings remains sparse. This study investigates cross‐cultural intensity ratings using the Demo (Dutch) and Koremo (Korean) corpora, each based on ei…

  • Differential Effects of Age, Linguistic Distance, Gender, and Education on English Proficiency: A Comparative Crosslinguistic Study of Immersion and Nonimmersion Learners

    Open Access•Frans Van Der Slik, Roeland Van Hout•ARTICLE•Language Learning•2026

    Do immersion and nonimmersion learners’ English grammaticality judgment test (GJT) scores reflect the same underlying processes in language learning? Drawing on data from Chen and Hartshorne's (2021) study, we argue that they do not. Using generalized additive mixed models (GAMMs), we found that age of onset was the strongest predictor of GJT performance among immersion learners, whereas linguistic distance was the most influential variable for n…

  • Linguistic distance effects on country Toefl scores between 2005 and 2020 and the effect of morphological distance in particular

    Open Access•Frans Van Der Slik, Roeland Van Hout•ARTICLE•Second language Research•2025•References: 2

    We analysed aggregated TOEFL scores from over 15 million non-immersion learners across 127 countries and 65 first languages (L1s), spanning a 16-year period (2005–20). This extensive dataset enabled us to investigate not only the effects of various country-level characteristics – including linguistic distances – but also the dynamic nature of these effects over time. To capture complex, non-linear interactions, we applied a generalized additive m…

  • Water and Sheep: The Pronunciation and Geographical Distribution of Two Germanic Vowels in the Dialects Around the Former Zuiderzee Area

    Open Access•Frans Nijhuis, John L A Huisman et al.•ARTICLE•Languages•2025•References: 22

    The Zuiderzee area in the Netherlands is a former inlet sea at the heart of the crossroads of three major regional languages. While these regional languages are largely distinct, previous work by the dialectologist Kloeke indicated similarities due to contact over water, notably the realisation of the Proto-West Germanic vowels *ā and *a. Using various dialectometric methods, we analysed the distribution of these vowels for 121 localities in this…

  • Consistency and variability in acceptability judgments from naive native speakers

    Gert-Jan Schoenmakers, Roeland Van Hout•ARTICLE•Nederlandse taalkunde•2024

    Syntactic theories are typically construed based on acceptability judgments. These judgments are increasingly often collected experimentally, testing larger sets of linguistically naive participants. An important assumption is that participants have a very clear understanding of what it is they are asked to do, which can be assessed by establishing their internal consistency. The question we address in this paper is whether ‘human measuring instr…

  • The Case for a Quantitative Approach to the Study of Nonnative Accent Features

    Open Access•Mónica Anna Wagner, Mirjam Broersma et al.•ARTICLE•Language and Speech•2024•References: 2

    Research with nonnative speech spans many different linguistic branches and topics. Most studies include one or a few well-known features of a particular accent. However, due to a lack of empirical studies, little is known about how common these features are among nonnative speakers or how uncommon they are among native speakers. Moreover, it remains to be seen whether findings from such studies generalize to lesser-known features. Here, we demon…

  • Cross-linguistic constraints and lineage-specific developments in the semantics of cutting and breaking in Japonic and Germanic

    Open Access•John L A Huisman, Roeland Van Hout et al.•ARTICLE•Linguistic Typology•2023

    Semantic variation in the cutting and breaking domain has been shown to be constrained across languages in a previous typological study, but it was unclear whether Japanese was an outlier in this domain. Here we revisit cutting and breaking in the Japonic language area by collecting new naming data for 40 videoclips depicting cutting and breaking events in Standard Japanese, the highly divergent Tohoku dialects, as well as four related Ryukyuan l…

  • Linguistic dissimilarity increases age-related decline in adult language learning

    Open Access•Job Schepens, Roeland Van Hout et al.•ARTICLE•Studies in Second Language…•2023

    We investigated age-related decline in adult learning of Dutch as an additional language (L n ) in speaking, writing, listening, and reading proficiency test scores for 56,024 adult immigrants with 50 L1s who came to the Netherlands for study or work. Performance for all four language skills turned out to decline monotonically after an age of arrival of about 25 years, similar to developmental trajectories observed in earlier aging research on ad…

  • Primary-school teachers’ beliefs about the effects of early-English education in the Dutch context: Communicative scope, disadvantaged learning, and their skills in teaching English

    Open Access•Claire Goriot, Roeland Van Hout•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2023

    We investigated whether primary-school teachers’ beliefs towards early-English education are related to the type of English education they are involved in (early- or later-English schools), their English language skills and whether they teach English. Ninety-nine Dutch teachers filled in a questionnaire with 25 statements about early-English education, and assessed their own English speaking proficiency. Their beliefs were based on the effects of…

    Two Twitter-based corpus studies are reported to account for the increasing preference in The Netherlands for the stigmatized subject use of the object pronoun hun ‘them.’ Twitter data were collected to obtain a sufficient number of hun -tokens, but also to investigate the validity of two hypotheses on the preference for hun , this is, that subject- hun is a contrast profiler which thrives in contexts of evaluation and qualification, and that sub…

  • Manifold code-mixing in computer-mediated communication: The use of English in Dutch youths’ informal online writing

    Open Access•Lieke Verheijen, Roeland Van Hout•ARTICLE•Ampersand•2022

    The pervasiveness of the English language in society and education in the Netherlands, as well as its status as online lingua franca, has caused concerns. English is a manifest aspect of oral youth language, as reflected in online written messages, but has in no way replaced the Dutch language. This paper presents a large-scale corpus analysis of computer-mediated communication by Dutch youths. These social media messages (392,169 words in total)…

  • Stability and change in the colour lexicon of the Japonic languages

    Open Access•John L A Huisman, Roeland Van Hout et al.•ARTICLE•Studies in Language•2022

    Previous work on colour lexicons focussed on universal patterns in their structure and evolution. We collected new colour naming data in Japanese and three under-described Ryukyuan languages (Amami, Miyako and Yaeyama) to investigate semantic variation and change in the colour lexicon of related languages in a modern context. We found several new colour terms (e.g., midori and guriin for ‘green’) in the lexicon of Ryukyuan speakers, apparently re…

    With campuses opening up and stimulating interactions among different campus users more and more, we aim to identify the characteristics of successful meeting places (locations) on campus. These can help practitioners such as campus managers and directors to further optimize their campus to facilitate unplanned or serendipitous meetings between academic staff and companies. A survey on three Dutch campuses, including questions on both services an…

  • Critical Period Claim Revisited: Reanalysis of Hartshorne, Tenenbaum, and Pinker (2018) Suggests Steady Decline and Learner-Type Differences

    Open Access•Frans Van Der Slik, Job Schepens et al.•ARTICLE•Language Learning•2022•References: 27

    A reanalysis of data drawn by Hartshorne, Tenenbaum, and Pinker (2018) from two-thirds of a million English speakers showed that their overall conclusion of one sharply defined critical age at 17.4 for all language learners is based on artificial results. We show that instead of a discontinuous exponential learning with sigmoidal decay (ELSD) model, a continuous ELSD model had a better fit when applied separately to monolinguals, bilinguals, and …

  • Differences in phonological awareness performance: Are there positive or negative effects of bilingual experience

    Open Access•Claire Goriot, Sharon Unsworth et al.•ARTICLE•Linguistic Approaches to…•2021

    Children who have knowledge of two languages may show better phonological awareness than their monolingual peers (e.g. Bruck & Genesee, 1995 ). It remains unclear how much bilingual experience is needed for such advantages to appear, and whether differences in language or cognitive skills alter the relation between bilingualism and phonological awareness. These questions were investigated in this cross-sectional study. Participants ( n = 294; 4–7…

  • Using the peabody picture vocabulary test in L2 children and adolescents: Effects of L1

    Open Access•Claire Goriot, Roeland Van Hout et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2021

    This study investigated to what extent the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT-4) is a reliable tool for measuring vocabulary knowledge of English as a second language (L2), and to what extent L1 characteristics affect test outcomes. The PPVT-4 was administered to Dutch pupils in six different age groups (4-15 years old) who were or were not following an English educational programme at school. Our first finding was that the PPVT-4 was not a re…

  • A cognitive account of subjectivity put to the test: Using an insertion task to investigate Mandarin result connectives

    Open Access•Hongling Xiao, Roeland Van Hout et al.•ARTICLE•Cognitive Linguistics•2021•References: 10

    This article aims to further test the cognitive claims of the so-called subjectivity account of causal events and their linguistic markers, causal connectives. We took Mandarin Chinese, a language that is typologically completely different from the usual western languages, as a case to provide evidence for this subjectivity account. Complementary to the commonly used corpora analyses, we employed crowdsourcing to tap native speakers’ intuitions a…

  • Patterns of semantic variation differ across body parts: Evidence from the Japonic languages

    Open Access•John L A Huisman, Roeland Van Hout et al.•ARTICLE•Cognitive Linguistics•2021•References: 5

    The human body is central to myriad metaphors, so studying the conceptualisation of the body itself is critical if we are to understand its broader use. One essential but understudied issue is whether languages differ in which body parts they single out for naming. This paper takes a multi-method approach to investigate body part nomenclature within a single language family. Using both a naming task (Study 1) and colouring-in task (Study 2) to co…

  • Effects of ASR-based websites on EFL learners’ vocabulary, speaking anxiety, and language enjoyment

  • Processing Subject-Object Ambiguities in the L2: A Self-Paced Reading Study With German L2 Learners of Dutch

    Open Access•Else Havik, Leah Roberts et al.•ARTICLE•Language Learning•2009•Cited by: 19•References: 44

    The results of two self-paced reading experiments are reported, which investigated the online processing of subject-object ambiguities in Dutch relative clause constructions like Dat is de vrouw die de meisjes heeft/hebben gezien by German advanced second language (L2) learners of Dutch. Native speakers of both Dutch and German have been shown to have a preference for a subject versus an object reading of such temporarily ambiguous sentences, and…

  • Modeling lexical borrowability

    In this article, we develop analytical techniques to determine borrowability – that is, the ease with which a lexical item or a category of lexical items can be borrowed. The analysis is based on two assumptions: (1) the distribution of items in both the host and donor language should be taken into account to explain why certain items are, and others are not, borrowed; (2) the borrowability of a lexical category may result from a set of (underlyi…

First, our study shows a divergence between Southern and Northern Standard Dutch in the pronunciation of voiced fricatives in this peri…

  • L1 and L2 Distance Effects in Learning L3 Dutch

    Open Access•Job J Schepens, Job Schepens et al.•ARTICLE•Language Learning•2016•Cited by: 8•References: 54

    Many people speak more than two languages. How do languages acquired earlier affect the learnability of additional languages? We show that linguistic distances between speakers' first (L1) and second (L2) languages and their third (L3) language play a role. Larger distances from the L1 to the L3 and from the L2 to the L3 correlate with lower degrees of L3 learnability. The evidence comes from L3 Dutch speaking proficiency test scores obtained by …

  • Variation in Standard Dutch vowels: The impact of formant measurement methods on identifying the speaker's regional origin

    Open Access•Sander van der Harst, Hans Van De Velde et al.•ARTICLE•Language Variation and Change•2014•Cited by: 8•References: 4

    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…

    This study examines an interlanguage in which Moroccan learners of Dutch use non-thematic verbs in combination with thematic verbs that can be inflected as well. These non-thematic verbs are real dummy auxiliaries because they are deprived of semantic content and primarily have a syntactic function. Whereas in earlier second language (L2) research only patterns with ‘be’ were found for learners of three Germanic languages with various first langu…

    This article deals with the acquisition of possessive DP structures by Turkish and Moroccan adults and children learning Dutch without substantial classroom instruction. Our main claim is that L 2 learners systematically and consistently rely on their grammatical knowledge, which surfaces in the initial stages of the L 2 acquisition process but also has a strong impact on later developmental stages. Such a strong conservation encompasses paramete…

  • A comparison of vowel normalization procedures for language variation research

    Patti Adank, Roel Smits et al.•ARTICLE•The Journal of the Acoustical…•2004

    An evaluation of vowel normalization procedures for the purpose of studying language variation is presented. The procedures were compared on how effectively they (a) preserve phonemic information, (b) preserve information about the talker’s regional background (or sociolinguistic information), and (c) minimize anatomical/physiological variation in acoustic representations of vowels. Recordings were made for 80 female talkers and 80 male talkers o…

  • (In)Complete Acquisition of Turkish Among Turkish–German Bilinguals in Germany and Turkey: An Analysis of Complex Embeddings in Narratives

    Jeanine Treffers‐daller, Jeanine Treffers-Daller et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2007

    Although most researchers recognise that the language repertoire of bilinguals can vary, few studies have tried to address variation in bilingual competence in any detail. This study aims to take a first step towards further understanding the way in which bilingual competencies can vary at the level of syntax by comparing the use of syntactic embeddings among three different groups of Turkish–German bilinguals. The approach of the present paper i…

  • Processing Subject-Object Ambiguities in the L2: A Self-Paced Reading Study With German L2 Learners of Dutch

    Open Access•Else Havik, Leah Roberts et al.•ARTICLE•Language Learning•2009•Cited by: 19•References: 44

    The results of two self-paced reading experiments are reported, which investigated the online processing of subject-object ambiguities in Dutch relative clause constructions like Dat is de vrouw die de meisjes heeft/hebben gezien by German advanced second language (L2) learners of Dutch. Native speakers of both Dutch and German have been shown to have a preference for a subject versus an object reading of such temporarily ambiguous sentences, and…

  • Is Standard Dutch with a regional accent standard or not? Evidence from native speakers' attitudes

    Open Access•Stefan Grondelaer, Roeland Van Hout•ARTICLE•Language Variation and Change•2010•Cited by: 4•References: 4

    This paper reports a speaker evaluation experiment that investigated the competition between three regional accents of Standard Dutch and references to the speaker's profession as determinants of attitude formation. A stratified sample of listener-judges rated speech stimuli that were presented in two guises, a neutral guise and a teacher guise (the latter containing multiple references that revealed the speaker to be a high school teacher of Dut…

  • Dummy auxiliaries in the second language acquisition of Moroccan learners of Dutch: Form and function

    Open Access•Ineke van de Craats, Roeland Van Hout•ARTICLE•Second language Research•2010•Cited by: 5•References: 7

    This study examines an interlanguage in which Moroccan learners of Dutch use non-thematic verbs in combination with thematic verbs that can be inflected as well. These non-thematic verbs are real dummy auxiliaries because they are deprived of semantic content and primarily have a syntactic function. Whereas in earlier second language (L2) research only patterns with ‘be’ were found for learners of three Germanic languages with various first langu…

  • Will Dutch become Flemish? Autonomous developments in Belgian Dutch

    Hans Van De Velde, Mikhail Kissine et al.•ARTICLE•Multilingua•2010•Cited by: 3•References: 9

    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…
