Getting a load of linguistic reasoning: How L1 student teachers process rules of thumb and linguistic manipulations in discussions about grammar
An important skill for L1 language teachers when teaching grammar is the ability to produce and quickly evaluate arguments that underpin a grammatical analysis. Previous research has revealed that the strongest arguments in favour of a particular grammatical analysis are based on linguistic manipulations (LM) rather than on rules of thumb (RoT). This makes it critical for teachers to be able to handle arguments based on LM. If LM are considered t…
Morphological variation in the speech of Frisian-Dutch bilinguals: (Dis)similarity of linking suffixes and plural endings
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…
Two languages, two sets of interpretations: Language-specific influences of morphological form on Dutch and English speakers' interpretation of compounds
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 …
Semantic and prosodic effects of Dutch linking elements
Preference for linking element -en- in Dutch noun-noun compounds: Native speakers and second language learners of Dutch
How subtle differences in orthography influence conceptual interpretation
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 Similarity of Plural Endings and Linking Elements in Regional Speech Variants of Dutch
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…
Some implicatures reveal semantic differences
In everyday conversation, sentence meanings are not always expressed explicitly, but can also be merely implied. For example, consider the following sentence: (1) Some elephants have trunks. Taken literally, this sentence is true because in the present world elephants
