Therefore, two parallel repetition priming experiments were conducted, an auditory and a visual one. The subjects were Dutch-English bilinguals. They had to perform a lexical decision task. There were two types of stimuli: cognates and noncognates. The results indicated that there are no processing differences between the auditory and the visual modalities. Furthermore, in both experiments interlingual repetition priming was found for both cognates and noncognates. The implications of these results for the influence of the factor proficiency level are discussed.

Met dit boek bevorderen studenten via vertalen de vertaalvaardigheid, taalvaardigheid, het taalbewustzijn én het taalgevoel van het Engels. Specifieke moeilijkheden van verschillende soorten teksten komen aan bod, met aandacht voor culturele verschillen. De duidelijke opbouw van het boek biedt studenten houvast bij het maken van een eindvertaling. Van tekst naar text bestaat uit 8 hoofdstukken die elk een tekstsoort centraal stellen, zoals nieuwsberichten, reclameteksten, academische teksten, formele correspondentie en recensies. De auteurs bespreken verschillende mogelijkheden voor een vertaling, in plaats van één juiste oplossing te geven. Aan de hand van de eigenschappen van de tekstsoort worden zowel problemen op het gebied van lexico-grammar als problemen met betrekking tot specifieke tekstkenmerken besproken. Daarnaast biedt het boek in elk hoofdstuk concrete oefeningen en handige tekstkaders me...

Results show that feedback delay was not a critical factor when using a pitch visualizer for intonation teaching but that the nature of the speech material, and probably also the voice quality of the speaker who produced the utterances, dramatically affected the quality of the visual feedback. Both findings have immediate consequences for the design and application of pitch visualizers. (23 ref) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved)

Questionnaires obtained from college students studying Dutch showed no evidence that Dutch was threatened by English and indicated that the importance attached to English as an international language did not lessen the value of Dutch for living in the Netherlands.
