It is generally acknowledged, that in vocabulary learning and teaching, the main important factors are frequency, meaningful context, and variation in input. Within the last factor, some researchers stress the importance of hierarchical relations between words (paradigmatic relations as in animal… read more
This article deals with the selection of words for curriculum materials, in the light of the choice made in a cdrom on vocabulary learning and a language learning method in primary education. First, some criteria for vocabulary selection are discussed. Next, it is shown that the selection of words… read more
In this paper, we investigated, for 90 Dutch L1 and L2 children in Special Education, whether differences in Dutch language proficiency could be found between boys and girls, and whether the outcomes are in line with the evaluations of the teachers about the proficiency of these boys and girls.… read more
Most measures of lexical richness in spontaneous speech data, based on the distribution of, or the relation between the types and tokens, appear to be neither reliable nor valid. The article describes a semi-automatic computer program, MLR (Measure of Lexical Richness) that measures lexical… read more
Research on primary school children shows that the differences between L1-Dutch children on the one hand, and L2-Dutch children on the other, tend to become greater, which is a process in which the children's proficiency in Dutch plays a major role. In this paper it is shown that word knowledge is… read more
