Abstract

The present article discusses the findings of a 1999 study on communication and referential strategies by learners of Dutch, both advanced learners and beginners, whose mother tongue is German. Originally modelled on the Nijmegen Project by T. Bongaerts, T. Kellerman and N. Poulisse (1983) - but in a different language setting (Ll German, L2 Dutch instead of L1 Dutch and L2 English in the Nijmegen Project) -, this study may have revealed some problems in the methodology of its model. More importantly, several findings seem to refute the general line of argument underlying the Nijmegen Project.
