Abstract

In the present paper, we describe the Enhanced Literate Mind (ELM) hypothesis. As individuals learn to read and write, they are, from then on, exposed to extensive written-language input and become literate. We propose that acquisition and proficient processing of written language ("literacy") leads to, both, increased language knowledge as well as enhanced language and nonlanguage (perceptual and cognitive) skills. We also suggest that all neurotypical native language users, including illiterate, low literate, and high literate individuals, share a Basic Language Cognition (BLC) in the domain of oral informal language. Finally, we discuss the possibility that the acquisition of ELM leads to some degree of "knowledge parallelism" between BLC and ELM in literate language users, which has implications for empirical research on individual and situational differences in spoken language processing.

增强识字能力假说。
在本文中,我们阐述了 "增强识字能力"(ELM)假说。随着个人学会阅读和写作,他们从此开始接触大量的书面语言输入,并成为识字者。我们认为,掌握和熟练处理书面语言("读写能力")既能增加语言知识,又能提高语言和非语言(感知和认知)技能。我们还认为,所有神经畸形母语使用者,包括文盲、识字率低和识字率高的人,在口头非正式语言领域都有共同的基本语言认知(BLC)。最后,我们讨论了一种可能性,即英语语言能力的获得会导致识字语言使用者的基本语言认知和英语语言能力之间出现某种程度的 "知识平行",这对口语处理中的个体差异和情景差异的实证研究具有重要意义。
