Between two worlds. Social networks, language shift, and language processing in three generations of Dutch migrants in New Zealand
Article Between two worlds. Social networks, language shift, and language processing in three generations of Dutch migrants in New Zealand was published on February 28, 2002 in the journal International Journal of the Sociology of Language (volume 2002, issue 153)
Is Dutch just another berber? An investigation into the language preferences of immigrants in the Netherlands
The paper reports a study of language learning and language attitudes among immigrants to the Netherlands. Questionnaires were obtained from 69 students taking Dutch at the Language Centre of the University of Nijmegen. Eighteen students were later interviewed about their attitudes towards Dutch, English, French and German. No evidence was found that Dutch was in any way threatened by English for this group. The importance which the students atta…
Lexical processing in bilinguals
In this article data from an auditory lexical decision experiment with English-Dutch bilinguals are compared with data from a similar experiment using visual lexical decision. The aim of the experiments was to investigate three factors that may play a role in lexical processing: level of proficiency in the second language, mode of presentation (visual vs. auditory) and cognate- ness of lexical items. The structure of this article is as follows. I…
The bilingual lexicon: Modality effects in processing
Foreign Language Attrition
Compared to research on language acquisition, research on the maintenance and loss of language skills is a relatively recent development. There is, of course, a longstanding sociolinguistic tradition of research on language shift, but work in the field of attrition really started in the US in the late 1970s (Lambert and Freed 1982). Since then, research on language attrition has grown rapidly in different countries, as is witnessed by special iss…
Empirical Foreign Language Reaserch in Europe
Recapitulation, regression, and language loss
Roman Jakobson opens his monograph Kindersprache, Aphasie und allgemeine Lautgesetze with a quotation from Karl Bühler: “Die einzige Gelegenheit die wir haben, die menschliche Sprache in statu nascendi zu beobachten, bietet das Kind,” and he himself adds: “Die einzige Gelegenheit die wir haben, die menschliche Sprache im Abbau zu beobachten, bieten die pathologischen Sprachstörungen zentraler Natur” (Jakobson 1941: 348).
The reliability ritual
A critical appraisal is presented of some of the misconceptions surrounding the notion of test reliability which appear to be quite pervasive in some linguistic research circles. First, it is demonstrated that observed group differences which prove significant in the adequate significance tests, are in no way discredited by low reliability coefficients. Second, it is argued that test reliability should be determined a priori, i.e. before a test i…

An aid in language teaching: The visualisation of pitch
Visual Feedback of Intonation Ii: Feedback Delay and Quality of Feedback
In two experiments we investigated qualitative aspects of pitch visualizers: feedback delay, i.e. the time-pan between the production of an utterance and the plotting of its fundamental-frequency contour, and the quality of the contours with speech material that differed in intonation pattern and in the number of unvoiced segments. The results showed that feedback delay is not a critical factor when using a pitch visualizer for intonation teachin…
