This volume focuses on the phonology, phonetics and psycholinguistics of voicing-related phenomena in Dutch. Dutch phonology has played a touchstone role in the past few decades where competing phonological theories regarding laryngeal representation have been concerned. Debates have focused on the… read more

Lu, Man, Jeroen van de Weijer and Ziyi Huang 2026 The expression of negation in southern Tujia: A diachronic perspective Linguistics of the Tibeto-Burman Area 49:1, pp. 61–82 | Article

This paper aims to provide a comprehensive description of the forms and distribution of negation expressions in southern Tujia (Tibeto-Burman), an endangered language spoken in southern China, from a diachronic perspective and comparing the negation forms with those in northern Tujia. Southern… read more

Lu, Man and Jeroen van de Weijer 2024 The multiple functions of the reflexive pronoun in Tujia Linguistics of the Tibeto-Burman Area 47:1, pp. 140–159 | Article

This paper investigates the functions of the reflexive pronoun ko 53 to 21/to 21 in Tujia, a Tibeto-Burman (TB) language. Apart from being used as a verb object, the reflexive pronoun in Tujia can be used as an intensifier, indicating “self, non-other”, but it can also be used to… read more

Lu, Man, Yu Ma, Jeroen van de Weijer and Zhen Yi 2024 Waning and waxing: The case of comparative marking in Tujia Language and Linguistics 25:4, pp. 644–672 | Article

This paper provides a preliminary description of the comparative construction in Tujia (northern dialect; NT), an endangered ergative Tibeto-Burman (TB) language spoken in China, in the context of the typologically diverse ways in which comparative meaning is expressed. In mono-clauses in NT,… read more

Lu, Man, Yu Ma and Jeroen van de Weijer 2023 The serial verb construction in Tujia Linguistics of the Tibeto-Burman Area 46:1, pp. 72–94 | Article

This paper presents a comprehensive description of the serial verb construction (henceforth SVC) in Tujia. It shows that serial verbs or verb phrases in Tujia are linked by the particle lie 55. lie 55 does not contribute any semantic content to the construction, but only functions as a… read more

Weijer, Jeroen van de, Marjoleine Sloos and Weiyun Wei 2022 The role of word frequency in the L2 acquisition of variable patterns: A case study of the pronunciation of English words with –man by Chinese learners Linguistics in the Netherlands 2022, Vogels, Jorrig and Sterre Leufkens (eds.), pp. 279–294 | Article

Second language acquisition often involves the acquisition of stable patterns in a target language. Here we investigate how the acquisition of a variable pronunciation pattern, viz. the pronunciation of the semisuffix -man in professional names in English (e.g. policeman, businessman) is related… read more

Lu, Man, Jeroen van de Weijer and Zhengguang Liu 2019 Nominalization and relativization in Tujia: A crosslinguistic perspective Linguistics of the Tibeto-Burman Area 42:1, pp. 82–109 | Article

This paper presents a preliminary investigation of nominalization and relativization in Tujia from a typological perspective. We show that there are several nominalizers in Tujia, only two of which are multifunctional: ɕi and ɲie. ɕi can function as a nominalizer, a relativizer, a… read more

Hoekstra, Eric, Anne Merkuur, Marjoleine Sloos and Jeroen van de Weijer 2018 Calculating a pattern’s competitive strength: Competition between /æ/ and /ʌ/ in irregular simple pasts and past participles in English The Mental Lexicon 13:1, pp. 143–157 | Article

This article proposes a measure of the competitive strength of two rival patterns in the domain of a subgroup of irregular verbs in English. There is competition between simple pasts built on the vowels /æ/ and /ʌ/, and the same competition is found in the domain of past participles. As a result… read more

Hulst, Harry van der and Jeroen van de Weijer 2018 Degrees of complexity in phonological segments Substance-based Grammar – The (Ongoing) Work of John Anderson, Böhm, Roger and Harry van der Hulst (eds.), pp. 385–430 | Chapter

In this chapter the authors discuss the representation of degrees of complexity in segmental structure. After exploring several measures of complexity in relation to the notion of markedness, five assumptions concerning phonological primes are listed. Adopting a dependency-based model using unary… read more

Weijer, Jeroen van de 2014 Affricates in English as a natural class Above 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. 350–358 | Article

This paper investigates the role of affricates in the phonotactics of English, and notes that these segments behave differently from stops and differently from fricatives. This is taken as evidence against the proposal that affricates cannot form a natural class by themselves, which is inherent in… read more

Weijer, Jeroen van de and Marjoleine Sloos 2014 The four tones of Mandarin Chinese: Representation and acquisition Linguistics in the Netherlands 2014, Auer, Anita and Björn Köhnlein (eds.), pp. 180–191 | Article

In this paper we discuss the four tones of Standard (Beijing) Mandarin Chinese. First, we will suggest a proposal for their phonological representation. Then, we discuss the order in which they are acquired in first language acquisition, relating this both to the representations we propose and to… read more

Weijer, Jeroen van de and Marjoleine Sloos 2013 Acquiring markedness constraints: The case of French Linguistics in the Netherlands 2013, Aalberse, Suzanne and Anita Auer (eds.), pp. 188–200 | Article

This paper questions the assumption made in classic Optimality Theory (Prince & Smolensky 1993 [2004]) that markedness constraints are an innate part of Universal Grammar. Instead, we argue that constraints are acquired on the basis of the language data to which L1 learning children are exposed.… read more
