  • Recognizing vocal emotions in two unfamiliar languages

    Open AccessYachan Liang, Vincent J Van Heuven et al.ARTICLEPhonetica2026

    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 AccessYachan Liang, Roeland Van Hout et al.ARTICLEScandinavian Journal of Psychology2026

    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…

  • Chinese “Dialects” and European “Languages

    Open AccessChaoju Tang, Vincent J Van Heuven et al.ARTICLELanguages2025Referências: 30

    In this article, we tested some specific claims made in the literature on relative distances among European languages and among Chinese dialects, suggesting that some language varieties within the Sinitic family traditionally called dialects are, in fact, more linguistically distant from one another than some European varieties that are traditionally called languages. More generally, we examined whether distances among varieties within and across…

    Open AccessMahmood Yenkimaleki, Vincent J Van HeuvenARTICLETraining, Language and Culture2024

    The present study investigated the use of the iBrainstorm app in a collaborative argumentation-based learning context for developing listening comprehension skills by EFL learners. Two groups of students were formed. All of them studied English as a foreign language at the BA level at Bu-Ali Sina University, Iran. Participants were assigned to groups at random. Participants took a pre-test of listening comprehension skills before starting the pro…

  • Recognizing two dialects in one written form

    Open AccessJunru Wu, Vincent J Van Heuven et al.ARTICLEBilingualism Language and Cognition2024

    This study aims to examine the influence of dialectal experience on logographic visual word recognition. Two groups of Chinese monolectals and three groups of Chinese bi-dialectals performed Stroop color-naming in Standard Chinese (SC), and two of the bi-dialectal groups also in their regional dialects. The participant groups differed in dialectal experiences. The ink-character relation was manipulated in semantics, segments, and tones separately…

  • Relative contribution of explicit teaching of segmentals vs. prosody to the quality of consecutive interpreting by Farsi-to-English interpreting trainees

    Mahmood Yenkimaleki, Vincent J Van HeuvenARTICLEInteractive Learning Environments2023

    This study investigates the effect of explicit teaching of segmentals vs. prosody on the quality of interpreting by Farsi-to-English interpreter trainees. Participants were native speakers of Farsi and BA students of English translation and interpreting in Iran, who were assigned to one of three groups. No differences in English language skills were found between the groups prior to the experiment. The control group listened to and discussed Engl…

  • The effect of providing feedback and feedforward in prosody instruction for developing listening comprehension skills by interpreter trainees

    Open AccessMahmood Yenkimaleki, Vincent J Van Heuven et al.ARTICLEForeign Language Annals2023Referências: 36

    The present study examines the effect of feedback (FB) and feedforward (FF) in prosody instruction for developing listening comprehension skills in the nonnative language by interpreter trainees, using a pretest–posttest–delayed posttest design. Three groups of 25 interpreter trainees at Bu‐Ali Sina University in Iran took part in the study, all groups receiving the same amount of instruction (10 h over 5 weeks). The control group listened to/vie…

  • The role of loanwords in the intelligibility of written Danish among Swedes

    Open AccessCharlotte Gooskens, Sebastian Kürschner et al.ARTICLENordic Journal of Linguistics2022

    We investigated the intelligibility of written Danish for Swedes, and in particular the role of inherited words compared to non-Germanic loanwords. To assess whether shared loanwords are easier to understand than inherited words, we conducted two experiments. First, we tested the intelligibility of isolated Danish words (inherited words and loanwords) among Swedes. Second, we constructed two versions of a reading test, one with a large percentage…

  • Effects of attention to segmental vs. suprasegmental features on the speech intelligibility and comprehensibility of the EFL learners targeting the perception or production-focused practice

  • Phonetic Correlates of Word and Sentence Stress

    Vincent J Van Heuven, Alice Turk et al.CHAPTEROxford Handbook of Language Prosody2020

    This chapter reviews the acoustic correlates and perceptual cues of linguistic stress at the word and sentence level, mainly in English and other Germanic languages. A first theme is whether word and sentence stress can be ordered monotonically along the same phonetic scale, rather than involving different acoustic parameters and perceptual dimensions. Other topics are the phonetic reflexes of the Alternation Principle (‘NoClash’) and of changes …

  • How well can intelligibility of closely related languages in Europe be predicted by linguistic and non-linguistic variables

    Open AccessCharlotte Gooskens, Vincent J Van HeuvenARTICLELinguistic Approaches to…2020

    We measured mutual intelligibility of 16 closely related spoken languages in Europe. Intelligibility was determined for all 70 language combinations using the same uniform methodology (a cloze test). We analysed the results of 1833 listeners representing the mutual intelligibility between young, educated Europeans from the same 16 countries. Lexical, phonological, orthographic, morphological and syntactic distances were computed as linguistic var…

  • Prosody perception and production by children with cochlear implants

    Open AccessDaan J VAN DE VELDE, Niels O Schiller et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Language2019

    The perception and production of emotional and linguistic (focus) prosody were compared in children with cochlear implants (CI) and normally hearing (NH) peers. Thirteen CI and thirteen hearing-age-matched school-aged NH children were tested, as baseline, on non-verbal emotion understanding, non-word repetition, and stimulus identification and naming. Main tests were verbal emotion discrimination, verbal focus position discrimination, acted emoti…

  • Mutual intelligibility of Dutch-German cognates by children

    Open AccessCharlotte Gooskens, Renée Van Bezooijen et al.ARTICLELinguistics2015

    Several studies (e.g., Ház 2005) have found German to be easier to understand for Dutch listeners than Dutch for German listeners. This asymmetry has been attributed to the fact that German is an obligatory subject in Dutch secondary school and that many Dutch people watch German television. In contrast, it is much less common for German children to learn Dutch at school and for German people to watch Dutch television. It cannot be excluded, howe…

  • Predicting mutual intelligibility of Chinese dialects from multiple objective linguistic distance measures

    Open AccessChaoju Tang, Vincent J Van HeuvenARTICLELinguistics2015Citada por: 3

    This paper predicts the mutual intelligibility of 15 Chinese dialects from multiple objective distance measures. Empirical mutual intelligibility measures were obtained from functional intelligibility tests at the sentence level from 15 listeners for each of 15 Chinese dialects. We computed various proximity measures on the basis of shared phonemes and tones in the sound inventories of the 15 dialects. Next, Levenshtein (string-edit) distance mea…

  • Effects of immediate repetition at different stages of consecutive interpreting training

    Open AccessWenting Yu, Vincent J Van HeuvenARTICLELinguistics in the Netherlands2013

    The present study investigates whether immediate repetition improves consecutive interpreting performance during training. In addition, the study tries to shed light on whether the effects of immediate repetition differ between BA and MA interpreting trainees. In the experiment, ten raters judged six major quality measures of the accuracy and fluency of the interpreting output recorded from seven BA trainees and five MA trainees. The seventh qual…
