- W798654036 abstract "Using multilevel models, we decomposed variance in proficiency scores across adult learners of Dutch as a second language into individual (learner characteristics) and contextual (group characteristics) components. The linguistic distance between the mother tongue and the second language (L2) of a learner is a contextual effect that varies according to the degree of difference between a learner’s mother tongue and the L2. We have analysed L2 learners’ state exams for Dutch speaking proficiency to explain variance in L2 proficiency scores on the basis of two different linguistic distance techniques: one that uses the traditional expert-based, historicalcomparative method as input for its Bayesian phylogenetic inferences as used in Gray and Atkinson (2003), and one that uses automatic distance based method applied in the ASJP project as input for a neighbour joining algorithm (C. H. Brown et al., 2008). We used data from more than 33,000 examinees, speaking 35 different Indo-European languages, originating from 89 different countries. Our main aim was to partial out the impact of linguistic distance on proficiency in speaking Dutch as an L2. The multilevel models that we used incorporated one confounding variable on the contextual level: the quality of the educational system, and five confounding variables on the individual level: gender, educational level, length of residence, age of arrival in the Netherlands, and proficiency in an additional language. We were able to identify robust L1 distance effects, for both of the distance measures we used, and we compared them to the predicted scores obtained in our multilevel analysis. Our conclusion is that differences in second language learning proficiency offer an excellent testing ground not only for validating the concept of linguistic distance itself, but also for comparing the performances of different types of linguistic distance." @default.
