Henriëtte Hendriks’ principal interests are in applied- and psycholinguistics and more specifically in the interaction between language acquisition and cognition and language acquisition and culture, involving languages as different as Dutch, German, English, French, Chinese and Polish. Specific research questions regard the influence of language-specific differences on first- and second-language acquisition, and the effects of cognitive maturity on the acquisition process. She is currently involved in the Langacross Project which deals with utterance structure in context from an acquisitional (L1 and L2) and cross-linguistic point of view and is funded by the French ANR, and the German DFG and led by Maya Hickmann and Christine Dimroth, in the VILLA project which deals specifically with the effects of input on guided and non-guided learners and adults and children and which is funded by the French ANR, the German DFG and the Dutch NOW, and in the EF Research Unit which deals with English as a second language. Dr. Hendriks has extensively researched the domain of space in collaboration with Dr. Maya Hickmann in the SALTAC project.
