One-hundred and thirty-four Chinese–English bilingual children were given a series of cognitive-linguistic and literacy measures, including tasks of rapid digit naming, phonological awareness, orthographic knowledge, morphological construction, vocabulary, pure copying, delayed copying and dictation. Most cognitive-linguistic variables were moderately correlated. The association of Chinese to English dictation was a modest .26. The variable that was most strongly associated with Chinese dictation was Chinese delayed copying; the variable most strongly associated with English dictation was English delayed copying. In path analyses, delayed copying was uniquely correlated with dictation in both Chinese (L1) and English (L2); the model was unchanged with the inclusion of dictation of the other orthography, indicating a minimal effect of linguistic transfer of dictation itself in the present study. These results particularly highlight the potential of the delayed copying task, administered and scored differently in Chinese and in English, which may be useful as an indicator of dictation difficulties independently in Chinese and English.","PeriodicalId":39225,"journal":{"name":"Writing Systems Research","volume":"10 1","pages":"26 - 42"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17586801.2018.1481902","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44661423","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Interestingly contradictory evidence has been reported in recall tasks where participants perform better overall on late acquired items compared to early acquired items in English. Moreover, free recall is modulated by frequency and list type in that studying pure lists of high-frequency words or low-frequency words typically leads to a recall advantage for high-frequency words. This recall advantage either disappears or is reversed when the same items are presented in mixed lists containing both high- and low-frequency items. The current experiment aims to shed light on this discrepancy by exploring the influence of Age of Acquisition (AoA) and frequency on free recall on standardised pictures and their names in Turkish. Eighty Turkish-speaking participants were assigned to either the picture (N = 40) or word condition (N = 40) in which stimuli were presented in either a mixed or a pure list. Following a distractor task, participants were asked to recall as many items as they could remember from the list they viewed. The findings and their implications are discussed within the context of current cognitive frameworks.","PeriodicalId":39225,"journal":{"name":"Writing Systems Research","volume":"10 1","pages":"1 - 14"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17586801.2017.1420727","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48737917","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The role of AoA on free recall has been examined in English and recently in Turkish with contradictory outcomes. The present study extends Raman et al.’s (under revision, Differential effects of age of acquisition and frequency on memory: Evidence from free recall of pictures and words in Turkish) study to monolingual Russian and bilingual Russian (L1)-English (L2) speakers in order to understand the extent to which AoA affects free recall. Participants were allocated to either picture or word condition and subsequently to either pure list or mixed list condition. Both monolingual Russian (N = 42) and bilingual (N = 40) Russian (L1)-English (L2) data show a robust main effect for AoA in free recall irrespective of list type for words and for pictures and no significant interactions. Overall, early acquired words and pictures had an advantage over late acquired items. These findings are contrary to what has been reported in the literature for monolingual English speakers but in line with findings for Turkish and will be discussed within the monolingual and bilingual theoretical frameworks.","PeriodicalId":39225,"journal":{"name":"Writing Systems Research","volume":"9 1","pages":"148 - 163"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17586801.2017.1405136","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47127861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From sound to symbol: orthographic semantization in Maya hieroglyphic writing 从声音到符号:玛雅象形文字的正字法语义

Matsumoto","doi":"10.1080/17586801.2017.1335634","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/17586801.2017.1335634","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT Scholars have been aware for some time of the linguistic and orthographic processes through which phonograms, signs that communicate an established phonetic value but have no inherent semantic content, may be derived from logographs, which encode semantic meaning, but whose phonetic value can vary depending on the linguistic context. However, they have largely ignored the possibility of the reverse, of phonograms transforming into logographs. This phenomenon, referred to here as orthographic semantization, entails the reinterpretation of a known sequence of one or more phonetic signs as conveying an inherent semantic value. At the same time, the original phonetic reading of the reinterpreted sign or sign sequence becomes obscured or changes completely, even if the graphic form remains the same. This paper explores evidence of this process in Maya hieroglyphic writing by examining cases of overspelling and incongruent or redundant phonetic complementation. Significantly, the underlying motivations for orthographic semantization differ by context. Hence, studies of this phenomenon can yield insight into the sociocultural aspects of script development and use, including language contact, script ideology, script transfer, or interruptions in scribal practice. Such research promises to enhance our understanding of the dynamic relationship between writing, its users, and spoken language.","PeriodicalId":39225,"journal":{"name":"Writing Systems Research","volume":"9 1","pages":"122 - 99"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17586801.2017.1335634","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48264694","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis of NST showed that, if not accounted for length, there were more abbreviations in SMS messages and more insertions in Facebook messages. Nevertheless, when accounting for length, addressee analysis and non-standard typography comparison between shorter and longer messages has revealed a more nuanced picture. While Facebook messages concurrently included insertions and abbreviations, however, such use of NST has not influenced the message length: no differences were found between actual or hypothetical length neither in Facebook, nor in SMS. Furthermore, addressee analysis has revealed that listenerto-listener messages contained more NST, compared to the ones where listeners addressed their messages to the radio station, indicating a perceived differentiation between interlocutors marked via NST. These findings indicate users’ adaptations to technological length constraints, addressee awareness or an overall sensitivity towards the genre of interactive message exchange via this radio broadcaster. In other words, listeners might have (intuitively) developed a perceived optimal message length for both modes of communication.","PeriodicalId":39225,"journal":{"name":"Writing Systems Research","volume":"9 1","pages":"123 - 136"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17586801.2017.1389797","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48288375","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
