318759.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access)In het Nederlands gebruiken we de woordvolgorde om te begrijpen wie wat doet met wie in een zin zoals "de vos eet het konijn op". Maar in het Turks is de woordvolgorde flexibeler. "Konijn-eet-vos" kan nog steeds "de vos eet het konijn op" betekenen omdat speciale markeringen, "naamvallen" genoemd, aangeven wie er eet en wie er wordt opgegeten. In deze zin begrijpen Turkse luisteraars door naamvalmarkeringen van "konijn" dat dit dier wordt opgegeten en voorspellen ze dat de rest van de zin het woord "vos" bevat. Ik heb dit soort voorspellingen onderzocht bij een specifieke tweetalige groep: erfgoedsprekers van het Turks die in Nederland wonen. Volwassen erfgoedsprekers van het Turks voorspelden het woord "vos" na het horen van het werkwoord "eet". Naarmate de ervaring met spreken en luisteren in het Turks en alfabetiseringsactiviteiten in beide talen toenam, verbeterde deze vaardigheid. Interessant genoeg deden de kinderen onder de erfgoedsprekers deze voorspellingen zowel voor als na het horen van het werkwoord "eet". Hun voorspellingsvaardigheden namen toe naarmate ze meer werden blootgesteld aan Turks en hun leesvaardigheden in het Nederlands verbeterden. Deze resultaten suggereren dat hoe meer ervaring en taalvaardigheid tweetaligen hebben, hoe beter ze kunnen voorspellen wat er volgt in een zin, en dat leesvaardigheid kan helpen bij het voorspellen in verschillende talen.
In English, we use word order to understand who’s doing what to whom in a sentence like “the fox eats the rabbit”. But in Turkish, word order is more flexible. “Rabbit-eat-fox” could still mean “the fox eats the rabbit” because of special markers called “case” that show who is eating and who is being eaten. In this sentence, Turkish listeners use case markers on the “rabbit” to understand that it is the one being eaten and they predict “fox” in the rest of the sentence. I studied these types of predictions with a specific bilingual group: heritage speakers of Turkish residing in the Netherlands. Adult heritage speakers of Turkish started predicting the “fox” after hearing the verb “eat”. This skill improved with more experience with speaking and listening in Turkish and literacy activities in both languages. Interestingly, child heritage speakers formed these predictions both before and after hearing the verb “eat”. Their prediction abilities improved with more exposure to Turkish and better reading skills in Dutch. These results suggest that the greater experience and language skills bilinguals have, the better they are at predicting what comes next in a sentence, and that reading skills can help with predictions across languages.Radboud University, 12 mei 2025Promotor : Huettig, F.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Future Food Supply Chain: An exploration and implementation of a new urban food typology
No full textThe Hague. The Dutch city with the most traffic congestion of all cities. Cities are growing and urban mobility is getting worse. The amount of freight going in cities is ever increasing. The way food is grown, distributed and consumed has been changed over the years. Technologies in mobility changes - think of the impact of the railroad - the behaviour of the people changed, restaurants emerged and gigantic supermarkets have a huge impact on thousands of cities. What is the impact of these trends and innovations on the built environment and how will the city respond to the next trend? With the rise of online orders, the spatial requirements our cities already changed. Within the food industry, there is a rapid increase in online grocery purchases. Picnic is the fastest growing company in the Netherlands. This trend results in an increase of movements in and out of the city. Leading to even more congestion. In the first half year of my graduation I researched the effects, the flows, the spatial requirements and the energy demand of a new proposed urban distribution centre. This distribution centre is supplied at night by cargo trams using the unused tram network. The groceries are distributed during day by an electric fleet with the shortest action radius as possible. So firstly the project creates a m ore efficient system to the the large scale mobility problem by functioning as an urban distribution centre. This results first hand in a decrease of the amount of movements within the city and the amount of motorized covered kilometres. Secondly, the building host several food related functions such as a bakery, brewery and a fully public food court. A clear synergy within the food chain is made which is totally transparent and visible for all the passers-by. To fully show the new future food supply chain, the main pedestrian pathway is elevated, avoiding the busy intersection below the building, going through the building and connecting the city centre of The Hague with its business district. So even when the food chain is digitalising and thus getting more distant to human this project shows all the processes and logistics behind your daily consumption. To get us a little bit more connected to this fast and complex chain. The project becomes a link in the city by optimising and destressing urban mobility, a link in its context by connecting two districts and a link in the food supply chain by showing the processes and background of your daily consumptions.

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
