“…Vervolgexperimenten, steeds bij universiteitsstudenten, bevestigden deze resultaten (o.m. Ernestus & Baayen, 2004;Ernestus & Mak, 2005). Statistische analyse van alle ongelede adjectieven, substantieven en werkwoorden uit de CELEXdatabank in Ernestus en Baayen (2003) leverde een indeling op in 11 analogische sets op basis van het finale rijm: finale rijmen vormen een set als hun eindconsonanten ongeveer even vaak onderliggend stemhebbend zijn.…”

Hoewel de spelling van Nederlandse verledentijdsvormen van zwakke werkwoorden algemeen als eenvoudig wordt beschouwd (ze zijn immers klankzuiver) maken zelfs universiteitsstudenten opvallend veel fouten bij de keuze tussen de uitgangen -te en -de. Voor een deel zijn die fouten ‘natuurlijk’ in die zin dat ze het gevolg zijn van de werking van frequentie en analogie. Anderzijds stellen we vast dat Nederlanders veel meer fouten maken dan Vlamingen, althans als de stam op een coronale fricatief eindigt (s, z, f, v). Aangezien de Nederlandse proefpersonen de ‘regel’ (het ezelsbruggetje ’t kofschip) beter lijken te beheersen dan de Vlamingen, moet de verklaring voor het verschil gezocht worden in een klankverandering die zich wel in Nederland maar niet of nauwelijks in Vlaanderen voordoet, de verstemlozing van de fricatieven. Het spellingprobleem vraagt om didactische maatregelen en/of politieke: het kan wellicht grotendeels worden opgelost door de spellingregels een weinig aan te passen

“…In Experiment 3, the effect of identity priming does not occur immediately when readers see the neologism. This does not come as a surprise since many effects arise rather late in this experimental paradigm, for instance, effects from biases for the grammatical subjects of subclauses following implicit causality verbs (Koornneef & Van Berkum, 2006), effects from intra-and interparadigmatic effects on verb forms (Ernestus & Mak, 2005), and effects from syntactic ambiguity (Swets, Desmet, Clifton, & Ferreira, 2008).…”

“…Since there are often spill-over effects to the following words (e.g., Just et al, 1982;Ernestus & Mak, 2005) in self-paced reading experiments, we analyzed the reading times of the neologisms themselves and of the two following words.…”

The traces that novel morphologically complex words leave in memory are abstract in nature

Previous work has shown that novel morphologically complex words (henceforth neologisms) leave traces in memory after just one encounter. This study addressed the question whether these traces are abstract in nature or exemplars. In three experiments, neologisms were either primed by themselves or by their stems. The primes occurred in the visual modality whereas the targets were presented in the auditory modality (Experiment 1) or vice versa (Experiments 2 and 3). The primes were presented in sentences in a selfpaced reading task (Experiment 1) or in stories in a listening comprehension task (Experiments 2 and 3). The targets were incorporated in lexical decision tasks, auditory or visual (Experiment 1 and Experiment 2, respectively), or in stories in a self-paced reading task (Experiment 3). The experimental part containing the targets immediately followed the familiarization phase with the primes (Experiment 1), or after a one week delay (Experiments 2 and 3). In all experiments, participants recognized neologisms faster if they had encountered them before (identity priming) than if the familiarization phase only contained the neologisms’ stems (stem priming). These results show that the priming effects are robust despite substantial differences between the primes and the targets. This suggests that the traces novel morphologically complex words leave in memory after just one encounter are abstract in nature.

“…Ernestus & Baayen (2004) have shown that the APN is indeed a good predictor for the probability that a speaker produces non-standard past tense forms for existing verbs. In addition, the APN predicts reading times for standard and non-standard past tense forms (Ernestus & Mak 2005).…”

This study investigates the roles of phonetic analogy and lexical frequency in an ongoing sound change, the devoicing of fricatives in Dutch, which occurs mainly in the Netherlands and to a lesser degree in Flanders. Dutch and Flemish students read two variants of 98 words: the standard and a non-standard form with the incoirect voice value o f the fricative. Dutch students chose the non-standard forms with devoiced fricatives moreoften than Flemish students.Moreover, devoicing, though a gradual process, appeared lexically diffused, affecting first the words that are low frequent and phonetically similar to words with voiceless fricatives.
