Abstract
The present paper examines the correlation between adolescents’ gender and educational profile on the one hand and their knowledge of the Dutch verb spelling rules and spelling attitudes on the other hand. A two-part survey was conducted among 451 Flemish students from different educational tracks. We conducted this survey in order to complement our previous research in which we observed social patterns in adolescents’ verb spelling errors on social media (Surkyn et al., 2019, 2020, 2021). Our results reveal that girls and theoretically oriented students care most about correct verb spelling. Moreover, theoretically oriented students have a better knowledge of the verb spelling rules. This survey provides additional evidence for the interpretation of the social patterns in our corpus research on Dutch verb spelling errors.
本文研究了青少年的性别和教育状况与他们对荷兰语动词拼写规则和拼写态度的了解之间的相关性。对来自不同教育领域的451名佛兰德学生进行了一项分为两部分的调查。我们进行这项调查是为了补充我们之前的研究，在该研究中，我们观察了青少年在社交媒体上动词拼写错误的社会模式（Surkyn et al.，201920021）。我们的研究结果表明，女生和注重理论的学生最关心正确的动词拼写。此外，以理论为导向的学生对动词拼写规则有更好的了解。这项调查为我们对荷兰语动词拼写错误语料库研究中的社会模式的解释提供了额外的证据。
期刊介绍：
The Dutch Journal of Applied Linguistics (DuJAL) focuses on promoting Dutch and Belgian work in applied linguistics among an international audience, but also welcomes contributions from other countries. It caters for both the academic society in the field and for language and communication experts working in other contexts, such as institutions involved in language policy, teacher training, curriculum development, assessment, and educational and communication consultancy. DuJAL is the digital continuation of Toegepaste Taalwetenschap in Artikelen, which had been the journal of Anéla, the Dutch Association of Applied Linguistics, for forty years. Like its predecessor, DuJAL wants to offer a platform to young researchers in applied linguistics, i.e. PhD candidates and MA students. In order to maintain a high standard all submissions are subjected to a ‘double blind’ review by at least one external reviewer and two of the editors. Contributions may be written in Dutch, English, German or French.
