Mutual Comprehensibility of Written Afrikaans and Dutch: Symmetrical or Asymmetrical?
The two West-Germanic languages Dutch and Afrikaans are so closely related that they can be expected to be mutually intelligible to a large extent. The present investigation focuses on written language. Comprehension was established by means of cloze tests on the basis of two newspaper articles. Results suggest that it is easier for Dutch subjects to understand written Afrikaans than it is for ...
متن کاملEfficacy of Symmetrical and Asymmetrical Pushed Negotiations in Boosting Speaking
This study was set out to shed light on the efficacy of pushed output directed by scaffolding on 41 (24 female and 17 male) upper-intermediate EFL learners’ speaking fluency and accuracy. A public version of IELTS speaking test was held to measure learners’ entrance behavior. Then, they were randomly assigned into symmetrical, asymmetrical, and control group.

متن کاملA Taxonomy for Afrikaans and Dutch Compounds
The linguistic categorisation of compounds dates back to some of the earliest work in linguistics. The cross-linguistic compound taxonomy of Bisetto and Scalise (2005), later refined in Scalise and Bisetto (2009), is well-known in linguistics for understanding the grammatical relations in compounds. Although this taxonomy has not been used extensively in the field of computational linguistics, ...
متن کاملPerformance of Symmetrical and Asymmetrical Multilevel Inverters
Distributed Energy Resources (DER) are systems that produce electrical power at the site where the power is needed. If only electrical power is used then the technology is called Distributed Generation (DG). The objective of this paper is to study a novel more than five level multistring inverter topology for DERs based DC/AC conversion system. The distributed energy resource based single-phase...
متن کاملComputational differences between asymmetrical and symmetrical
Symmetrically connected recurrent networks have recently been used as models of a host of neural computations. However, biological neural networks have asymmetrical connections, at the very least because of the separation between excitatory and inhibitory neurons in the brain. We study characteristic differences between asymmetrical networks and their symmetrical counterparts in cases for which...
