A cluster analysis of attitudes to English in Germany and the Netherlands
Although English is becoming increasingly entrenched in Western Europe, large-scale comparative studies of attitudes among the general public to this development are scarce. We investigate over 4,000 Dutch and Germans' attitudes towards English based on responses to an attitudinal questionnaire. Respondents saw English as a useful additional language, but not generally as a threat to their national language. Using k-means, an unsupervised cluster…
ICE Age 3
The International Corpus of English (ICE) faces the same challenge confronting world Englishes as a whole: to integrate into its endeavours the systematic study of English in the Expanding Circle (EC). This article proposes an expansion in the scope of ICE to account for user varieties in the EC. It provides a template for researchers interested in compiling an EC corpus in line with the ICE design by describing the development of the Corpus of D…
Outer and expanding circle Englishes
The classification of English as a native (ENL), second (ESL) and foreign (EFL) language is traditionally mapped onto Kachru’s (1985) Inner, Outer and Expanding circles, respectively. This paper addresses the divide upheld between these different varietal types. We explore the preposition into using comparable corpora for all three varietal types: the International Corpus of English (ICE) for Inner and Outer Circle varieties, and a comparable Cor…
Predicting Sympathy and Prosocial Behavior From Young Children's Dispositional Sadness
The purpose of this study was to examine whether dispositional sadness predicted children's prosocial behavior and if sympathy mediated this relation. Constructs were measured when children ( N = 256 at Time 1) were 18-, 30-, and 42-months old. Mothers and non-parental caregivers rated children's sadness; mothers, caregivers, and fathers rated children's prosocial behavior; sympathy (concern and hypothesis testing) and prosocial behavior (indirec…
The progressive aspect in the Netherlands and the ESL/EFL continuum
This paper responds to calls to (i) approach varieties of English as a native (ENL), second (ESL) and foreign (EFL) language in an integrated fashion, and (ii) widen the scope of world Englishes analyses to the Expanding Circle. It describes the development of the Corpus of 'Dutch English', the first Expanding Circle corpus incorporating all text types in the written components of the ICE corpora. This corpus has implications for the description …
Are effortful and reactive control unique constructs in young children
The primary goal of this study was to examine whether effortful control (EC; effortful regulation), reactive undercontrol (IMP; e.g., impulsivity, speed of approach), and reactive overcontrol (NOV; inhibition to novelty) were 3 distinct constructs at 30 months (Time 1; n = 216), 42 months (Time 2; n = 192), and 54 months (Time 3; n = 168) of age. Parents', nonparental caregivers', and/or observers' ratings were obtained for all 3 constructs at al…
Differential susceptibility and the early development of aggression
The purpose of the current study was to predict the development of aggressive behavior from young children's respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) and environmental quality. In a longitudinal sample of 213 children, baseline RSA, RSA suppression in response to a film of crying babies, and a composite measure of environmental quality (incorporating socioeconomic status and marital adjustment) were measured, and parent-reported aggression was assessed…
Longitudinal relations among maternal behaviors, effortful control and young children's committed compliance
In a sample (n = 235) of 30-, 42-, and 54-month-olds, the relations among parenting, effortful control (EC), impulsivity, and children's committed compliance were examined. Parenting was assessed with mothers' observed sensitivity and warmth; EC was measured by mothers' and caregivers' reports, as well as a behavioral task; impulsivity was assessed by mothers' and caregivers' reports; and committed compliance was observed during a cleanup and pro…
Introducing the Corpus of Dutch English
Data collection is now underway for a new corpus of ‘Dutch English’ within the broad scope of World Englishes. This news is often met with suspicion from ELT practitioners, SLA researchers and the average person on the street, Dutch and English L1s alike. How could a Dunglish -style interlanguage arising from ‘imperfect learning’ be cast as legitimate regional variation? Yet this has been a fruitful field for many decades across Asia and Africa, …
Dutch English
On keeping versus ‘correcting’ Dutch flavour in English texts. As early as 1992, Cox and Furlong indicated that some already considered English a national language in the Netherlands given how widely it was understood. Likewise, McArthur announced at a 1993 conference in Amsterdam, ‘English is now simply one of your languages, along with Dutch and Frisian.’ Against this backdrop and the increasing momentum of notions of World Englishes, it is no …
Mothers' teaching strategies and children's effortful control
Findings on the relation of maternal verbal teaching strategies to children's effortful control (EC; i.e., self-regulation) are limited in quantity and somewhat inconsistent. In this study, children's EC was assessed at 18, 30, and 42 months (ns = 255, 229, and 209, respectively) with adults' reports and a behavioral measure. Mothers' verbal teaching strategies were assessed while the mother and child worked on a task together. Children's general…
The Development of Affect Specificity in Infants' Use of Emotion Cues
This study examined the emergence of affect specificity in infancy. In this study, infants received verbal and facial signals of 2 different, negatively valenced emotions (fear and sadness) as well as neutral affect via a television monitor to determine if they could make qualitative distinctions among emotions of the same valence. Twenty 12‐ to 14‐month‐olds and 20 16‐ to 18‐month‐olds were examined. Results suggested that younger infants showed…
Cigarette Smoking and the Cost of Hospital and Physician Care
Smoking is widely known to affect health adversely. The consequent cost to the publicly funded Canadian health-care system is a matter of considerable policy interest. We consider two core elements of health care: hospitals and physicians. This study, unlike previous Canadian studies, uses the econometric approach to assess these costs. The availability of the 1995 Newfoundland Adult Health Survey makes that application feasible. That survey cove…
