Perceptual load in the reading of Arabic: Effects of orthographic visual complexity on detection

Souad Abdelhadi, Raphiq Ibrahim, Zohar Eviatar · 1 Jan 2011

Previous research has suggested that reading Arabic is slower than reading Hebrew or English, even among native Arabic readers. We tested the hypothesis that at least part of the difficulty in reading Arabic is due to the visual complexity of Arabic orthography. Third- and sixth-grade native readers of Arabic who were studying Hebrew in school…

Sociolinguistic approaches to writing systems research

Mark Sebba · 1 Jan 2009

Writing systems have attracted relatively little attention from sociolinguists, in spite of obvious connections with subjects of great sociolinguistic interest, such as ethnicity and identity. In fact, the literature contains a substantial amount of research on writing systems from a sociolinguistic perspective, but there is no recognised ‘sociolinguistics of writing systems’ within which different case…

Impact of spatial ordering of graphemes in alphasyllabic scripts on phonemic awareness in Indic languages

Padmapriya Kandhadai, Richard Sproat · 1 Jan 2010

The present study examined whether the alignment of the spatial ordering of the graphemes in alphasyllabic scripts and the logical phonological order of the phonemes in these Indic languages enhances segmental awareness. Native Hindi speakers were asked to delete the onset consonant from two critical non-word conditions—one condition in which the spatial order of graphemes…

Aksharas, alphasyllabaries, abugidas, alphabets and orthographic depth: Reflections on Rimzhim, Katz and Fowler (2014)

David L. Share, Peter T. Daniels · 10 Apr 2015

We contend that, contrary to Rimzhim, Katz and Fowler (2014), consonants and vowels in the Brahmi-derived scripts are not “on a par”, and, therefore, that it is inaccurate to depict these scripts as alphabetic. Furthermore, we consider the popular terminology “alphasyllabic” to be misleading because these scripts are neither alphabetic nor syllabic. We argue on…

The role of tone awareness and pinyin knowledge in Chinese reading

Li Yin, Wenling Li, Xi Chen et al. · 1 Jan 2011

Previous literature has established that tone awareness is significantly related to reading development in young children (age 3–6 years) across Chinese-speaking societies. To date, no study has been conducted to explicitly examine how tone awareness contributes to reading at the intermediate level of primary schooling, or the relationship between tone awareness and pinyin instruction, a…
