The letter is among the most frequent letters in Arabic and it participates in the encoding of three productive morphological entities: root, word-pattern and affix. The letter is also homographic and may represent the default voiceless dental-alveolar stop phoneme /t/ as well as its emphatic allophonic variant [ṭ] coinciding, hence, with the phoneme typically represented by the letter ط. The study tested whether children use morphological cues in spelling the letter in Arabic, and whether morphological processing is different for different morphemes and in different grades. The results indicate that morphological processing is functional very early on in Arabic spelling among children. Yet, morphological processing appears to depend on the specific morpheme targeted, with some morphemes lending themselves more strongly to morphological processing than others. The results are discussed within the framework of the morphological and morpho-orthographic structure of Arabic.","PeriodicalId":39225,"journal":{"name":"Writing Systems Research","volume":"5 1","pages":"169 - 188"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17586801.2013.857586","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60437230","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}

Forty Israeli Hebrew-speaking and 43 Spanish-speaking mother-child dyads participated in this study. The children, aged: M=68.58 months, had not yet been exposed to formal reading instruction. Israeli kindergartners embark on their initial steps in reading and spelling in an abjad—a consonantal writing system that deficiently and inconsistently marks vowels by letters. Spanish kindergartners are introduced to a shallow alphabetic writing system that consistently marks consonants and vowels. This study assessed: (1) children's code-based skills (letter knowledge and phonological awareness), spelling, and reading, and (2) mothers' word writing mediation. The groups were basically similar in code-based skills, but the reading and spelling of the Israeli children were substantially lower than those of their Spanish counterparts. Maternal writing mediation was lower among Israeli than Spanish mothers with respect to vowels. Regression analyses showed that children's spelling in Hebrew and in Spanish were predicted by children's code-based skills and by maternal writing mediation. Children's reading in Hebrew was uniquely predicted by code-based skills and in Spanish by maternal writing mediation. This study sheds light on the importance of writing mediation and its relation to writing systems.","PeriodicalId":39225,"journal":{"name":"Writing Systems Research","volume":"5 1","pages":"134 - 155"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17586801.2013.797335","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60436235","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}

Two experiments were carried out by 31 first graders, 30 third graders, 34 fifth graders and 20 university students. In the first experiment we took advantage of the Arabic orthographic variation in letter shape, and compared the Stroop effect for correctly written and orthographically distorted words. All participants revealed a Stroop effect with both types of words, but only first graders showed the same degree of interference with distorted and correctly written words. We interpret these results to reflect the development of automaticity in reading. In the second experiment, six letter-naming tests were performed. The results showed that retrieval time of naming letters or the sounds that these letters represent decreased inversely with age. A different pattern was found between the school-age children and the university students. In children, the relationships between types of tests of retrieval speed remained constant: retrieval of letter names or sounds which do not have visual or phonological neighbours was the fastest, and of letter names representing sounds that do not exist in spoken Arabic was the slowest. There was no effect of changing letter shape. However, among the university students only changing letter shape affected the speed of responses. We interpret these results to reflect different representations of letter categories in adults and children. The findings have implications for models of reading development in Arabic.","PeriodicalId":39225,"journal":{"name":"Writing Systems Research","volume":"5 1","pages":"156 - 168"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17586801.2013.862163","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60437334","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}

Typical examples are instead of in English and instead of in French. Eye Dialect, despite using nonstandard spelling, maintains grapheme-to-phoneme correspondences that reflect standard pronunciation, unlike Casual Speech Spelling, which aims to transcribe substandard forms (e.g., ). In this paper I attempt to account for both phenomena in a framework couched in Optimality Theory, partly drawing on a set of constraints already proposed in existing literature (Song & Wiese, 2010), at the same time as proposing new ones justified on phonetic, cognitive or system-internal grounds. It is shown how Eye Dialect and Casual Speech Spelling, instead of creating new sound-to-letter relationships, promote the more general ones, at the expense of very specific or idiosyncratic phoneme-to-grapheme mappings. There are several other factors that seem to interact: the preference for 1:1 relationships (e.g., unambiguous graphemes are preferred to ambiguous ones), the acoustic salience of certain segments or features (e.g., stridency or nasality are more likely to require a graphic representation than glides or schwa), the visual salience of certain letters (e.g., letters whose shape extends to upper and/or lower spaces seem to contribute more to word recognition and are thus more likely to be retained). It is interesting to note that logography and rebus writing are also employed, along with Eye Dialect and Casual Speech Spelling. The common intent seems to be simplicity and, possibly, rebellion.","PeriodicalId":39225,"journal":{"name":"Writing Systems Research","volume":"5 1","pages":"24 - 53"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17586801.2013.808155","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60436255","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}

This tablet, a medium-sized rongorongo text, as near as I can tell, has been aptly referred to by researchers and commentators as containing mixed genres. “Mamari” also has a unique place in the corpus of Easter Island inscriptions due to its “lunar calendar” fragment. The sequence in Cb9–10 elicits interest since it may shed light on the disputed nature of rongorongo script. A suggested textual parallel on side a of “Mamari” gives ground to cautious discussions on the degree of variation, paraphrasing and economy of expression, as well as to the plausible sound-mapping in the rongorongo orthography. Similarly, it is shown by comparison of earlier tracings of Thomas Barthel and Steven R. Fischer with the photographs of the actual artefact that the accuracy of the published drawn corpus still requires some amendments, and hence all further studies are supposed to pay more attention to the use of photographic material or investigation of the original. These issues are especially crucial for palaeographic and calligraphic research.","PeriodicalId":39225,"journal":{"name":"Writing Systems Research","volume":"5 1","pages":"54 - 72"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17586801.2012.742005","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60435784","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}

Eighty Hong Kong kindergarteners were pretested on nonverbal IQ, word reading, vocabulary knowledge, semantic-radical awareness tasks, writing dictation and single character reading. Then they were randomly assigned to one of three conditions: stroke training, radical training or control. After eight weeks of training, the radical condition yielded greater improvement compared with the control condition in dictation and semantic-radical awareness tasks. The findings of the study highlight the potential positive effects of parent-child joint writing on children's Chinese language and literacy skills. Findings also demonstrate that parents typically use multiple strategies in parent-child joint writing, and it is likely that different approaches to writing might facilitate literacy knowledge in different ways with development.","PeriodicalId":39225,"journal":{"name":"Writing Systems Research","volume":"5 1","pages":"109 - 88"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17586801.2013.812532","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60436360","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}
