“…Our norms add a substantive number of adjectives to the growing set of Dutch experiential and distributional norms, and can easily be connected to the behavioral norm data that are amassing for Dutch, pertaining to lexical decision (Brysbaert, Stevens, Mandera, & Keuleers, 2016;Keuleers, Diependaele, & Brysbaert, 2010b), word prevalence (Keuleers et al, 2015), text reading (Cop, Dirix, Drieghe, & Duyck, 2017), and word fragment completion (Heyman, Van Akeren, Hutchison, & Storms, 2016). We believe the norms would benefit both research that studies adjectives proper (e.g., to establish a typology; Dixon, 1982;Raskin & Nirenburg, 1998) or in which adjectives constitute the preferred stimulus material such as vagueness (Hampton, 2011;Kennedy, 2007;Van Rooij, 2011;Verheyen & Egré, 2018), spatial cognition (Bianchi, Savardi, & Burro, 2011a;Bianchi, Savardi, & Kubovy, 2011b), affective word processing (Bernat, Bunce, & Shevrin, 2001;Herbert, Kissler, Junghofer, Peyk, & Rockstroh, 2006), and inference (Gotzner, Solt, & Benz, 2018;Ruytenbeek, Verheyen, & Spector, 2017). The norms can be used both as explanatory variables (Gilet & Jallais, 2011;Kuperman et al, 2014) and control variables (Estes & Adelman, 2008a;Larsen, Mercer, & Balota, 2006).…”

Lexicosemantic, affective, and distributional norms for 1,000 Dutch adjectives

The research of the word is still very much the research of the noun. Adjectives have been largely overlooked, despite being the second-largest word class in many languages and serving an important communicative function, because of the rich, nuanced qualifications they afford. Adjectives are also ideally suited to study the interface between cognition and emotion, as they naturally cover the entire range of lexicosemantic variables such as imageability (infinite-green), and affective variables such as valence (sad-happy). We illustrate this by showing how the centrality of words in the mental lexicon varies as a function of the words' affective dimensions, using newly collected norms for 1,000 Dutch adjectives. The norms include the lexicosemantic variables age of acquisition, familiarity, concreteness, and imageability; the affective variables valence, arousal, and dominance; and a variety of distributional variables, including network statistics resulting from a large-scale word association study. The norms are freely available from https://osf.io/nyg8v/, for researchers studying adjectives specifically or for whom adjectives constitute convenient stimuli to study other topics, such as vagueness, inference, spatial cognition, or affective word processing.

“…Most importantly for the context of WISEs is the category of voluntary affirmative action, which entails affirmative action developed and implemented by private actors, employers, based on their own initiative and interest in contributing to equality of opportunity in employment. 139 Under McCrudden's categories of affirmative action, 140 WISEs that offer jobs to the (long-term) unemployed generally fall under the second category of inclusive policies, while those that target a specific group of people at risk of exclusion from the labour market or reserve a certain percentage of jobs for them, fall under the third or fourth category. However, they also redefine the job requirements and the concept of merit in a way that caters for the situations of their employees, therefore also falling under the fifth category.…”

Conceptualizing Work Integration Social Enterprises under International Human Rights Law

This article outlines one form Work Integration Social Enterprises (WISEs) can take under international human rights law. It builds on the conviction that social enterprises, and WISEs more specifically, are compatible with the foundations and principles human rights are built on. However, there is a lack of engagement with social enterprises generally, in international human rights law. Building on the characteristics of WISEs and substantive equality theories, it is suggested that they can be conceptualized under the heading of affirmative measures. It is expected that this conceptualization can provide a starting point for increasing the visibility of the sector, while simultaneously ensuring its compliance with human rights standards, most notably under the human right to work. The article further points out WISEs and social enterprises’ potential more generally, illustrating how businesses can position themselves as active agents contributing to the realization of human rights.

“…Adjectives are one of the most elusive parts of speech with respect to meaning. For instance, it is very difficult to establish a broad classification of adjectives into semantic classes, analogous to a broad ontological classification of nouns (Raskin & Nirenburg, 1998). The adjective is usually assigned an identification and restriction function.…”

SEMANTIC PROPERTIES OF THE NOMINAL PARTS OF SPEECH IN THE LYRICS OF THE 2000s BRITISH INDEPENDENT SCENE

This paper seeks to address the semantic classification of parts of speech with regard to the British independent scene of the 2000s. The vocabulary of any language is not simply a massive accumulation of words, but a system of interconnected elements. It is known as the lexico-semantic system of language. In the course of time, lexemes undergo semantic changes, i. e. reinterpretation and semantic modification. Given the multitude of linguistic factors and the rapid pace of development, the vernacular English language has experienced a lot of semantic changes over a period of a decade. To better reflect the semantic proprieties of the functional parts of speech (nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs) that are peculiar to a definite time and a setting, we will examine the lyrics of the four most prominent British bands of the 2000s: Placebo, Franz Ferdinand, The Subways, and Stereophonics. Methods used in the study: the method of stylistic analysis for identifying and describing the proprieties of nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs in the subject-matter material, the method of quantitative calculations for generalizing the obtained results, induction, deduction and comparison.
