Nominal agreement in the Sample Clauses

Nominal agreement in the second language of Dutch native speakers A recent study by Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx and Xxxx (in press) also concluded that the masculine nouns yielded less errors than feminine nouns and also that determiners were better attained than adjectives. They analysed a total of 111 essays from Dutch studends from Leiden University learning Spanish as a second language. The focus of this study was on nominal agreement matches and mismatches. Corresponding to earlier studies (Xxxxxxx, 0000, 0000, Xxxxxx, 2003, Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxxx, 2011, Xxxxx et al., 2004), they also concluded that the masculine gender is the default gender for second language learners of Spanish. The result that learners were more accurate in gender agreement on adjectives than on determiners, also corresponds with earlier studies. Additionaly, the results of Xxxxxxxx et al. (in press) show that Dutch native speakers make the same acquisitional errors in Spanish as native speakers of other languages do, alhough these speakers do not have gender in their first language. Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxxxxx (2001) analysed gender errors of native Dutch speakers learning French as a second language. Amongst other things, they investigated the overuse of masculine forms. Their data showed a masculine default, but with a difference between determiners and adjectives.The percentage of incorrect masculine gender in the determiners was higher (73.5%) than the percentage in the adjectives (63%). They also looked at the accuracy levels for gender agreement in determiners and adjectives. This accuracy level was significantly higher in determiners than in adjectives. Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx-Xxxxxx and Xxxxxxxxx (2016) investigated the second language Spanish of native Dutch speakers by looking at (un)interpretable features. The focus of this study is on number and gender agreement. The 27 participants were all students from a univesity in the Netherlands (Leiden University and Utrecht University) and they were all native speakers of Dutch. They also had a monolingual Spanish control group (from Spain, Colombia and Nicaragua), which consisted of 20 participants. Based on a proficiency test, the participants were divided into three different proficiency levels (intermediate, upper-intermediate and advanced). Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx et al. (2016) conducted an experimental test which consisted of two components: a test where the participants had to judge each sentence on its correctness in grammar and a test in which the particip...
