Zuidema, Johan and Anneke Neijt 2017 The BasisSpellingBank: A spelling database with knowledge stored as a lexicon of tripletsOrthographic Databases and Lexicons, Cahill, Lynne and Terry Joyce (eds.), pp. 52–79 | Article
The BasisSpellingBank is the first lexicon where the spellings and pronunciations of words are documented explicitly and separately for all relevant word parts. Unlike earlier descriptions of Dutch orthography in terms of rules and underlying forms, the BasisSpellingBank departs from the concept… read more
Software systems convert between graphemes and phonemes using lexicon-based, rule-based or data-driven techniques. SHOTGUN combines these techniques in a hybrid system which converts between graphemes and phonemes bi-directionally, adds linguistic and educational information about the… read more
Hanssen, Esther, Arina Banga, Anneke Neijt and Robert Schreuder 2015 Regional origin affects the interpretation of linking elements in spoken Dutch compoundsThe Mental Lexicon 10:2, pp. 165–185 | Article
In Dutch, the linking element en in compounds is often homophonous with the regular plural suffix -en. Both are pronounced as [ә], [әn] or [ṇ] in different regions of the Netherlands. As a consequence, speakers of standard Dutch may interpret linking en in spoken compounds as a plural marker. The… read more
Hanssen, Esther, Arjen P. Versloot, Eric Hoekstra, Arina Banga, Anneke Neijt and Robert Schreuder 2015 Morphological variation in the speech of Frisian-Dutch bilinguals: (Dis)similarity of linking suffixes and plural endingsLinguistic Approaches to Bilingualism 5:3, pp. 356–378 | Article
In standard Dutch, the plural suffix -en is homographic and homophonic with the linking suffix -en (boek+en “books”, boek+en+kast “bookcase”), both being pronounced as schwa. In Frisian, there is neither homography nor homophony (boek+en “books”, pronounced with syllabic nasal; boek+e+kast… read more
Hanssen, Esther, Robert Schreuder and Anneke Neijt 2015 From t-bias to d-bias in Dutch: Evidence from children’s spelling and pronunciationWritten Language & Literacy 18:1, pp. 104–120 | Article
Previous studies reveal that young Dutch children display a [t]-bias in the middle of words in pronunciation (e.g. van der Feest 2007; Kerkhoff 2007). First graders, however, display a 〈d〉-bias in the middle of words in their writings (Neijt & Schreuder 2007). The present study investigates… read more
Neef, Martin and Anneke Neijt 2014 In memoriam Robert SchreuderCross-linguistic transfer in reading in multilingual contexts – recent research trends, Zaretsky, Elena and Mila Schwartz (eds.), pp. 171–172 | Miscellaneous
Neijt, Anneke 2014 Etymological sub-lexicons constrain the graphematic solution spaceAbove and Beyond the Segments: Experimental linguistics and phonetics, Caspers, Johanneke, Yiya Chen, Willemijn Heeren, Jos Pacilly, Niels O. Schiller and Ellen van Zanten (eds.), pp. 189–202 | Article
Graphematics comprises of the theory of writing systems dissociated from the normative aspects of orthography. Neef (2005, 2012) adds the notion of graphematic solution space, the orthographic options available for the words in a language. These options may be different for the words of different… read more
Banga, Arina, Esther Hanssen, Anneke Neijt and Robert Schreuder 2013 Plurals as modifiers in Dutch and English noun-noun compounds express plurality in productionThe Mental Lexicon 8:1, pp. 53–74 | Article
The present study investigates the relation between conceptual plurality and the occurrence of a plural morpheme in novel Dutch and English noun-noun compounds. Using a picture-naming task, we compared the naming responses of native Dutch speakers and native English speakers to pictures depicting… read more
De Schryver, Johan, Anneke Neijt, Pol Ghesquière en Mirjam Ernestus 2013 Zij surfde, maar hij durfte niet: De spellingproblematiek van de zwakke verleden tijd in Nederland en VlaanderenDutch Journal of Applied Linguistics 2:2, pp. 133–151 | Article
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… read more
Banga, Arina, Esther Hanssen, Robert Schreuder and Anneke Neijt 2012 How subtle differences in orthography influence conceptual interpretationUnits of Language – Units of Writing, Joyce, Terry and David Roberts (eds.), pp. 185–208 | Article
The present study investigates linguistic relativity. The units of writing investigated are e and en, which are used to represent units of language in Dutch, Frisian, and Afrikaans. Dutch has homographic forms in the plural suffix -en and the linking element of noun-noun compounds en. Frisian does… read more
Neijt, Anneke, M. Peters and Johan Zuidema 2012 The 12321 model of Dutch spelling acquisitionLinguistics in the Netherlands 2012, Elenbaas, Marion and Suzanne Aalberse (eds.), pp. 111–122 | Article
We propose that Dutch children acquire and use knowledge of Dutch spelling through a series of stages we call the 12321 model. At first, a single phase for the mapping of speech onto writing suffices, but in later stages of instruction, two or three mapping phases are needed. This is one aspect of… read more

Dutch compounds with ‘e’ or ‘en’ as linking element between modifier and head were presented to mother tongue speakers of Afrikaans in an experimental setting that explored the possibility that these different spelling formats would suggest a singular or plural meaning of the modifier. The… read more
Neijt, Anneke and Robert Schreuder 2007 Asymmetrical phoneme–grapheme mapping of coronal plosives in DutchConstraints on Spelling Changes, Nottbusch, Guido and Eliane Segers (eds.), pp. 219–234 | Article
The distinction between deep and shallow orthographies is a central issue in studies of alphabetic writing. This paper aims to contribute to the debate on the relative merits of these by investigating how the coronal plosives [d] and [t] map onto the corresponding letters d and t. It turns out that… read more
This study addresses the interpretation of a Dutch homonymic suffix, s, as it appears in Dutch compounds. In a series of reading experiments we manipulated the presence versus absence of this suffix in existing compounds as well as in compounds with a pseudoword as left constituent. We observed an… read more
