Digital Humanities Small Grant - Results

— Posted in Taal & Literatuur by

The two projects subsidised through the Leiden University Centre for Digital Humanities Small Grant are nearly finished, and the grant webpage of the overarching project entitled 'D or t? Using Big Data to Explore Linguistic Factors in Dutch Verb Spelling' has been updated accordingly.

Using big data, we were able to enhance the academic knowledge of two specific factors in verb-spelling errors and to offer evidence-based solutions to long-lasting and persistent problem in Dutch language education.

Het citaat komt overigens uit het nummer Handsome Devil en het gaat om een van de laatste zinnen – even doorluisteren dus, maar dat is zeker geen straf.
