Placing Accents. A Quantitave, Perceptual-Dialectological Study of Language Variation in West Frisian
There is a moderate body of work on Frisian dialectology, but no known insight about how Frisians perceive and recognize regional variation. The current study investigates the recognition of Frisian varieties using the map-based accent-recognition task and examines how accurately Frisian listeners can recognize speakers’ regional origin, which Frisian accents listeners distinguish and whether perceptual isoglosses delineate different accents. The…
Individuele verschillen in de fonologisering van taalverandering
Northern Standard Dutch, i.e. the standard variety spoken in the Netherlands, is currently subject to an ongoing vowel shift that started approximately 100 years ago. This so-called ‘Polder shift’ changes tense mid vowels to upgliding diphthongs and lowers the nuclei of diphthongs. Sociolinguistic migrants – speakers of Southern Standard Dutch who moved from Flanders to The Netherlands – may adopt these sound changes, but do so with substantial i…

Recognizing non-native spoken words in background noise increases interference from the native language
Listeners frequently recognize spoken words in the presence of background noise. Previous research has shown that noise reduces phoneme intelligibility and hampers spoken-word recognition – especially for non-native listeners. In the present study, we investigated how noise influences lexical competition in both the non-native and the native language, reflecting the degree to which both languages are co-activated. We recorded the eye movements of…
Do autistic children differ in language-mediated prediction
children. Past research exploring language-mediated anticipatory eye movements in autistic children, however, has been somewhat contradictory, with some studies finding normal anticipatory processing in autistic children with low levels of autistic traits but others observing weaker prediction effects in autistic children with less receptive language skills. Here we investigated language-mediated anticipatory eye movements in young children who d…
How long is ‘a long term’ for sound change
This paper investigates the adoption of ongoing community sound change by individuals by considering it as an instance of second-dialect acquisition. Four ongoing changes in Dutch, all involving the move from one-allophone to two-allophone systems, make this possible: these ongoing diachronic changes are simultaneously a source of synchronic variation between Netherlandic Dutch and Flemish Dutch. The paper investigates the adoption of these diffe…
Individual Differences in the Adoption of Sound Change
It is still unclear whether an individual’s adoption of on-going sound change starts in production or in perception, and what the time course of the adoption of sound change is in adult speakers. These issues are investigated by means of a large-scale (106 participants) laboratory study of an on-going vowel shift in Dutch. The shift involves the tense mid vowels /eː,øː,oː/, which are changing into phonologically conditioned upgliding diphthongs, …
The Influence of Context on the Learning of Metrical Stress Systems Using Finite-State Machines
Languages vary in the way stress is assigned to syllables within words. This article investigates the learnability of stress systems in a wide range of languages. The stress systems can be described using finite-state automata with symbols indicating levels of stress (primary, secondary, or no stress). Finite-state automata have been the focus of research in the area of grammatical inference for some time now. It has been shown that finite-state …
