2021 The role of grammar in spelling homophonous regular verbs Written Language & Literacy 24:1, pp. 38–80 | Article
Can a lack of grammatical knowledge alone be held accountable for the spelling errors that are made for homophonous verb forms and do these errors occur because spellers do not apply their grammatical knowledge?

In a new bimodal matching task, Dutch-English bilinguals judged the… read more

2005 Development of rule-based verb spelling in Dutch students Written Language & Literacy 8:1, pp. 1–18 | Article
Although verb spelling is rule-based, it is a relatively difficult aspect of Dutch orthography. Assink (1985) was the first to show that Dutch verb spelling is affected by two factors, namely, frequency of occurrence of the verb and the context in which the verb appears. This study is a… read more
