2026 Morphological status mediates effects of segmental deletion on comprehension Linguistics in the Netherlands 2026, Knooihuizen, Remco, Marloes Oomen and Alex Reuneker (eds.) | Article
Although recent studies have shown that morphological status affects the pronunciation of segments, very little is known about how this pronunciation variation affects comprehension. We investigated how [n] deletion affected the comprehension of Dutch verbs in which -/ən/ either formed the… read more
2024 Second language learners acquire reduced word forms just like they acquire full forms: From exposure Linguistic Approaches to Bilingualism 14:5, pp. 708–739 | Article
We investigated the effect of auditory exposure on the recognition of full (i.e., canonical) and reduced (i.e., with weakened or deleted sounds) word forms by beginner second language (L2) learners. We taught three participant groups the same French schwa words. One group was trained only on the… read more
2024 Can the Discriminative Lexicon Model account for the family size effect in auditory word recognition? Linguistics in the Netherlands 2024, Bril, Marco and Kristel Doreleijers (eds.), pp. 176–192 | Article
Words with larger morphological families elicit shorter response times (RTs) in lexical decision experiments (e.g., Bertram et al. 2000). One possible account for this family size (FS) effect draws on the Discriminative Lexicon Model (DLM; Chuang & Baayen 2021), positing that morphological… read more
2019 Do speech registers differ in the predictability of words? International Journal of Corpus Linguistics 24:1, pp. 98–130 | Article
Previous research has demonstrated that language use can vary depending on the context of situation. The present paper extends this finding by comparing word predictability differences between 14 speech registers ranging from highly informal conversations to read-aloud books. We trained 14… read more
