  • Translation technologies and crisis management

    Jeroen Van De Weijer, Marcel Fuabeh TekwaARTICLELinguistics Vanguard2026

    During public health crises, rapid dissemination of accurate information in the languages spoken by vulnerable populations is a matter of linguistic justice and, in many cases, a determinant of survival. Although machine translation (MT) systems constitute a scalable solution for multilingual crisis communication, low-resource languages such as West African varieties of Pidgin remain effectively excluded from these technologies owing to the absen…

  • The expression of negation in southern Tujia

    Open AccessMan Lu, Jeroen Van De Weijer et al.ARTICLELinguistics of the Tibeto-Burman…2026

    This paper aims to provide a comprehensive description of the forms and distribution of negation expressions in southern Tujia (Tibeto-Burman), an endangered language spoken in southern China, from a diachronic perspective and comparing the negation forms with those in northern Tujia. Southern Tujia employs different negators, some of which are disappearing, while some new ones are being introduced. Furthermore, negation is sometimes preverbal, s…

  • Evaluating different translation methods

    Open AccessTingting Lei, Jeroen Van De WeijerARTICLECogent Arts and Humanities2025

    This paper compares three approaches to translation: (i) from-scratch human translation (HT), (ii) machine translation combined with post-editing (MTPE), both produced by two independent groups of translation students, and (iii) machine translation (MT), produced by Baidu Chinese-to-English Translation, employing various evaluation methods. A number of unsupervised automated models (BLEU, METEOR and ROUGE) were used to compare the quality of thes…

  • Hongshui He Zhuang (Baima dialect)

    Open AccessJeroen Van De Weijer, Y Lin et al.ARTICLEJournal of the International…2025

    Zhuang (ISO 639-3, zha) is a group of languages belonging to the Tai language family (Diller, Edmondson & Luo 2008: 7), spoken by the Zhuang people, who form the largest minority group in China with a population of approximately 17 million. 1 Most Zhuang speakers live in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, with over 14.4 million permanent residents. 2 It is estimated that more than 20 million people speak a variety of Zhuang (Wei, Qin & Wei 2009: 7…

  • Waning and waxing

    Open AccessMan Lu, Lu Man et al.ARTICLELanguage and Linguistics 語言暨語言學2024

    This paper provides a preliminary description of the comparative construction in Tujia 1 (northern dialect; NT), an endangered ergative Tibeto-Burman (TB) language spoken in China, in the context of the typologically diverse ways in which comparative meaning is expressed. In mono-clauses in NT, comparative marking depends on the position of the standard (i.e., that which is compared to). The standard may be marked with an ablative marker, or a to…

  • The multiple functions of the reflexive pronoun in Tujia

    Open AccessMan Lu, Lu Man et al.ARTICLELinguistics of the Tibeto-Burman…2024

    This paper investigates the functions of the reflexive pronoun ko 53 to 21 / to 21 in Tujia, a Tibeto-Burman (TB) language. Apart from being used as a verb object, the reflexive pronoun in Tujia can be used as an intensifier, indicating “self, non-other”, but it can also be used to create “passive” or “causative” meaning. It is argued that both meanings created by the reflexive pronoun can be accounted for under a decomposition approach. Verbal r…

  • Frequent violation of the sonority sequencing principle in hundreds of languages

    Open AccessRuihua Yin, Jeroen Van De Weijer et al.ARTICLELinguistic Typology2023

    The Sonority Sequencing Principle (SSP) is a fundamental governing principle of syllable structure; however, its details remain contested. This study aims to clarify the empirical status of the SSP in a cross-linguistic study of 496 languages. We adopt a phonetically-grounded definition of sonority – acoustic intensity – and examine how many languages contain SSP-violating clusters word-initially and word-finally. We consider the treatment of com…

  • The serial verb construction in Tujia

    Open AccessMan Lu, Lu Man et al.ARTICLELinguistics of the Tibeto-Burman…2023

    This paper presents a comprehensive description of the serial verb construction (henceforth SVC) in Tujia. It shows that serial verbs or verb phrases in Tujia are linked by the particle lie 55 . lie 55 does not contribute any semantic content to the construction, but only functions as a linking particle. lie 55 is not used for any other purpose in any other structure. SVCs in Tujia can be classified into two types: non-symmetric and symmetric, de…

  • The role of word frequency in the L2 acquisition of variable patterns

    Open AccessJeroen Van De Weijer, Marjoleine Sloos et al.ARTICLELinguistics in the Netherlands2022

    Second language acquisition often involves the acquisition of stable patterns in a target language. Here we investigate how the acquisition of a variable pronunciation pattern, viz. the pronunciation of the semisuffix -man in professional names in English (e.g. policeman , businessman ) is related to the lexical frequency of the words concerned. The pronunciation of this suffix varies between a full vowel and a reduced one in a lexically unpredic…

  • Saraiki

    Open AccessFirdos Atta, Jeroen Van De Weijer et al.ARTICLEJournal of the International…2022

    Saraiki (ISO 639-3:skr) is an Indo-Aryan language widely used in Pakistan and India (Bashir, Conners & Hefright 2019). The variety described here is Central Saraiki, spoken in the districts of Multan, Muzaffargarh, Bahawalpur and the northern parts of Dera Ghazi Khan in Pakistan, which form the largest of the Saraiki-speaking areas.1 Geographically, Pakistan is divided into four provinces, Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pukhton Khaw (KPK) and Balochistan.…

The f…

  • A phase-based account of agreement asymmetry in Arabic

    Open AccessAmeen Alahdal, Jeroen Van De WeijerARTICLECogent Arts and Humanities2021

    This paper considers the well-known puzzling phenomenon of subject–verb agreement asymmetry in Arabic: full agreement surfaces in SV word order, whereas VS order manifests partial agreement. That is, agreement in all phi-features surfaces only when the subject moves to a preverbal position. To avoid (apparently inevitable) circularity of earlier analyses, the paper offers a minimalist, phase-based analysis to the phenomenon. Two ingredients to th…

  • The utility and cultural framing of global English

    Open AccessColum Ruane, Jeroen Van De WeijerARTICLECogent Arts and Humanities2021

    Increased global mobility, online and offline, can foreground more nuanced interpretations of Global English and its cultural cycles. Adopting a Cosmopolitan Perspective and utilising semi-structured interviews, this study investigated seven Korean English users’ views on English’s global utility and cultural affiliations. Overall, English was highly regarded for its ability to offer global connectivity, opportunity, and access to knowledge. Howe…

  • Multi-Functionality of the Discourse Marker haweɪh in Ghamdi Dialect of Hijazi Arabic

    Open AccessMurdhy Alshamari, Al-Ghamdi Naimah et al.ARTICLECogent Arts and Humanities2021

    This paper explores the theoretical mechanisms of marking two discourse values, SURPRISE and IMPATIENCE, encoded in the syntax of Ghamdi dialect of Arabic (GA) by the discourse marker haweɪh, which instantiates the head Prt of PrtP. The novelty about haweɪh is that its marking function is constrained in certain syntactic environments. While haweɪh marks SURPRISE by default, it marks IMPATIENCE under the condition that it co-occur with a wh-phase …

  • Fictive motion

    Open AccessBien Duong, Jeroen Van De WeijerARTICLECogent Arts and Humanities2021

    Motion is a universal phenomenon and indispensable for human life. In everyday communication, we often use language about the motion to express motionless situations. This usage is pervasive when we are describing stationary representations. Fictive motion is a term coined by Leonard Talmy. It refers to “figurative representations of motion attributed to immobile material objects, states, or abstract concepts, in which the meaning of motion verbs…

  • Intonation in Hong Kong English and Guangzhou Cantonese-accented English

    Open AccessYunyun Ran, Jeroen Van De Weijer et al.ARTICLEJournal of Language Teaching and…2020

    Hong Kong English is to a certain extent a standardized English variety spoken in a bilingual (English-Cantonese) context. In this article we compare this (native) variety with English as a foreign language spoken by other Cantonese speakers, viz. learners of English in Guangzhou (mainland China). We examine whether the notion of standardization is relevant for intonation in this case and thus whether Hong Kong English is different from Cantonese…

  • Metaphors of fever in the poetry of John Keats

    Open AccessYasir A Al-Jumaili, Jeroen Van De WeijerARTICLECogent Arts and Humanities2020

    There is a long tradition among Keats’s critics that links his medical profession to his poetic career, claiming that the former has influenced the latter. Some of them argue that the poet’s medical learning influenced his thought and formed a source material for his poetry. This paper continues this tradition. I argue that Keats’s knowledge of medicine has provided him with technical information to describe abstract states such as negative mood …

  • Minimalist approach to symmetric and asymmetric double object constructions

    Open AccessFawwaz An-Nashef, Jeroen Van De WeijerARTICLECogent Arts and Humanities2020

    Double object construction (DOC) seems to be attested across languages and thus has received much attention among linguists since eighties. It has been attested in literature that passivization patterns in double object/applicative constructions are of different types (i.e., symmetric and asymmetric). Different syntactic accounts have been proposed to account for such symmetric and asymmetric typology. In this paper, I propose an analysis that ac…

    Open AccessAzadeh Zarbafian, Gholam-Reza Abbasian et al.ARTICLECogent Arts and Humanities2020

    This study was an initiative to investigate the extent to which synthesizing Transformative Education (TE) with Dynamic Assessment (DA) can contribute to developing EFL learners’ productive skills; speaking and writing. To do so, 105 Iranian university students majoring in English language were randomly assigned into four different classes, as control and experimental groups. The control groups were instructed based on pure TE-oriented approach, …

  • Using short stories vs. video clips to improve upper intermediate EFL students’ sociopragmatic knowledge

    Open AccessAfroozeh Heidari, Hossein Heidari Tabrizi et al.ARTICLECogent Arts and Humanities2020

    To formulate appropriate speech acts necessitates the use of specific pragmatic and sociolinguistic skills which play a pivotal role in the knowledge of scripts and patterns of communicative events. Such an ability is influenced by the contextual and social variables that determine the linguistic resources required for choosing particular types of speech acts. Framed in speech act and sociopragmatic theories, this study sought to investigate the …
