Head gestures as precursors of prosodic focus marking in the L2
As prosodic discourse marking is challenging for both L1 and L2 learners, this project investigates whether this bootstrapping function of head gestures in prosodic focus marking also occurs in an L2 context.
-
Sociolinguistic research on language and culture of the Mennonite community of ejido Salamanca, Bacalar, Quintana Roo, Mexico
This PhD research examines the language and culture in a community of Old Colony Mennonites newly formed in 2004 in southern Mexico, state of Quintana Roo.

InDeep
In this project, we investigate various methods for interpreting DL-based learning systems. Understanding which classes of applications require which DL analysis techniques is the core of our proposed project.
-
More than just "Uh, was?"
During lower secondary education pupils learn German for at least two years. This research investigates to what extent the teaching of plurilingual strategies during German classes can better prepare pupils for effective communication with speakers.
-
Reading beyond borders
This 3-year research project proposes an in-depth and longitudinal investigation of second-language (L2) reading comprehension of primary school children in non-Western educational contexts.
-
Input effects on the morphosyntactic development of Dutch as a heritage language in bilingual children
This project investigates the Dutch language development of Dutch-speaking children in France and Germany by exploring the role of the other language (French or German) and amount of exposure on the development of Dutch as a home language.
-
How multilingual experience shapes the language system
Research shows that in the case of multilingual speakers not only words, but also the grammars of different languages influence each other. In this research this interaction between grammatical construction is investigated.
