Yenkimaleki, Mahmood and Vincent J. van Heuven 2024 The effect of fluency training on interpreter trainees’ speech fluency, comprehensibility, and accentedness: An experimental study Revista Española de Lingüística Aplicada/Spanish Journal of Applied Linguistics: Online-First Articles | Article

Fluency, comprehensibility, and accentedness are considered important parameters of interpreting quality but have rarely been studied systematically in training programs of interpreting. Therefore, the present study was set up to investigate the effect of fluency training on speech fluency,… read more

Yenkimaleki and van Heuven (2021) studied the effects of teaching either segmental or suprasegmental (prosodic) aspects of English, in combination with either perception or production-focused practice (four combinations in all) on the speech intelligibility and comprehensibility of Persian L1… read more

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,… read more

Abstract Restrictive and appositive relative clauses differ in their meaning and structure. The first restrict the class to which the antecedent refers, whereas the latter denote additional information on the antecedent. In terms of structure, this difference concerns the relation… read more

Yenkimaleki, Mahmood and Vincent J. van Heuven 2017 The effect of memory training on consecutive interpreting performance by interpreter trainees: An experimental study FORUM 15:1, pp. 157–172 | Article

The present study investigates the effect of memory training on the quality of interpreting by Farsi-to-English interpreter trainees, with special attention to diminishing the rate of omission of message elements. Participants were assigned to two groups on the basis of their overall performance… read more

Yu, Wenting and Vincent J. van Heuven 2017 Predicting judged fluency of consecutive interpreting from acoustic measures: Potential for automatic assessment and pedagogic implications Interpreting 19:1, pp. 47–68 | Article

This experimental study of consecutive interpreting investigates whether: (1) there is any correlation between assessments of its fluency and accuracy; (2) judged fluency can be predicted from computer-based measurements like articulation rate. Ten raters judged six criteria of accuracy and… read more

Post da Silveira, Amanda, Vincent J. van Heuven, Johanneke Caspers and Niels O. Schiller 2014 Dual activation of word stress from orthography Dutch Journal of Applied Linguistics 3:2, pp. 171–198 | Article

Studies in bilingualism have shown that words activate form-similar neighbors in both first (L1) and second (L2) languages. Accordingly, we hypothesized that the degree of form similarity between L1–L2 word pairs causes a proportional amount of prosodic transfer in L2 speech production. Thus,… read more

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… read more
