Sungbong Bae; Hye K. Pae; Kwangoh Yi – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2024
While the theoretical models of morphological processing in Roman alphabets indicate prelexical activation, a model established in Korean suggests postlexical activation. To extend the model of Korean morphological processing, this study examined within-scriptal (Hangul-Hangul prime-target pairs) and cross-scriptal (Hanja-Hangul prime-target…

Elodie Sabatier; Jacqueline Leybaert; Fabienne Chetail – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: Children are assumed to acquire orthographic representations during autonomous reading by decoding new written words. The present study investigates how deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) children build new orthographic representations compared to typically hearing (TH) children. Method: Twenty-nine DHH children, from 7.8 to 13.5 years old,…

Kim, Jina; Meyer, Lindsey; Hendrickson, Kristi – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: There is a long-standing debate about how written words are recognized. Central to this debate is the role of phonology. The objective of this study is to contribute to our collective understanding regarding the role of phonology in written word recognition. Method: A total of 30 monolingual adults were tested using a novel written word…

Shuang Cheng – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Orthography-phonology mapping in world languages exhibits variations. Extensive research has investigated whether orthographic-phonological consistency impacts the cognitive processing of written words. A major body of work has focused on the recognition of phonographic first language (L1) written words. Results show that the more transparent the…

Han, Jeong-Im; Kim, Song Yi – Second Language Research, 2022
The present study investigated the influence of orthographic input on the recognition of second language (L2) spoken words with phonological variants, when first language (L1) and L2 have different orthographic structures. Lexical encoding for intermediate-to-advanced level Mandarin learners of Korean was assessed using masked cross-modal and…

Xiong, Jianping; Yu, Lili; Veldre, Aaron; Reichle, Erik D.; Andrews, Sally – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
In this study, we examined the effects of word and character frequency across three commonly used word-identification tasks (lexical decision, naming, and sentence reading) using the same set of two-character target words (N = 60) and participants (N = 82). Facilitatory effects of word frequency were observed across all three tasks. The…

Sun, Jing; Pae, Hye K.; Ai, Haiyang – Foreign Language Annals, 2021
Learners of Chinese as a foreign language (CFL) tend to swap the two characters within a coordinative compound word in verbal identification and written production. This mixed methods study not only investigated how CFL learners identified intercharacter orthographic and semantic relationships within two-morpheme coordinative compound words, but…

Xu, Yi; Zhang, Jie – Language Teaching Research, 2022
Lexical inference through reading is considered an important method for vocabulary building; however, empirical research has not consistently offered strong evidence of the application of lexical inference in second language vocabulary learning. A recently burgeoning line of research focuses on second language (L2) lexical inference of compounds…

Winskel, Heather; Ratitamkul, Theeraporn; Perea, Manuel – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2018
We examined whether the first letter advantage that has been reported in the Roman script disappears, or even reverses, depending on the characteristics of the orthography. We chose Thai because it has several "nonaligned" vowels that are written prior to the consonant but phonologically follow it in speech (e.g., ??? <e:fn> is…

Lin, Yu-Cheng; Lin, Pei-Ying; Yeh, Li-Hao – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
Previous studies on spoken word production have shown that native English speakers used phoneme-sized units (e.g., a word-initial phoneme, C) to produce English words, and native Mandarin Chinese speakers employed syllable-sized units (e.g., a word-initial consonant and vowel, CV) as phonological encoding units in Chinese. With spoken word…

Ju, Zhongkui; Zhou, Yanling; delMas, Robert – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2021
The present study aimed to examine the contributions of two separate Pinyin skills and oral vocabulary to Chinese word reading of 70 third graders in a U.S. Mandarin Immersion program where Pinyin was introduced at Grade 3. Hierarchical regression analyses showed that Pinyin initial-final spelling--the skill to spell Chinese syllables using Pinyin…

Li, Chuchu; Wang, Min; Davis, Joshua A.; Guan, Connie Qun – Journal of Research in Reading, 2019
The present study investigated the representation and processing of segmental and tonal information in visual Chinese word recognition in native and non-native Chinese readers. Two experiments using homophone judgement paradigm were conducted. When judging two Chinese characters (Experiment 1), both groups showed difficulties when the segmental…

Zhang, Haomin – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2019
The current study aimed to explore the effect of first language (L1) orthography on second language (L2) Chinese morphological awareness. One hundred and twenty-nine students (61 L1 English readers and 68 L1 Thai readers) who studied Chinese as a second language participated in this study. They completed four tasks of morphological awareness…

Li, Meng-Feng; Gao, Xin-Yu; Chou, Tai-Li; Wu, Jei-Tun – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2017
Neighborhood frequency is a crucial variable to know the nature of word recognition. Different from alphabetic scripts, neighborhood frequency in Chinese is usually confounded by component character frequency and neighborhood size. Three experiments were designed to explore the role of the neighborhood frequency effect in Chinese and the stimuli…

Karen A. Aicher – ProQuest LLC, 2016
Similarity to known words has been found to influence novel word learning (cf. Storkel, et al., 2006; Bartolotti & Marian, 2014). The current study examines the influence of the orthographic and phonological typicality of novel written words on the acquisition of meaning and subsequent naming behavior for those items. The orthographic and…
