Shawn Hemelstrand; Tomohiro Inoue – Reading Research Quarterly, 2024
The unique orthographic complexities of Japanese, which utilizes multiple types of scripts (morphographic kanji and syllabic hiragana and katakana) for the same spoken language, place unique demands on early learners. Much research has centered on the average ability of Japanese readers, but given the varying challenges of these scripts, attention…

Grigorenko, Elena L. – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2022
This mini-review attempts to provide a capsule overview of the role of genetic factors in reading and its development across languages and writing systems. The review is conceived and executed with a scoping review approach, synthesizing the methods employed in the existing research rather than producing a summary of evidence to answer a discrete…

Leona Polyanskaya; Dina Abdel Salam El-Dakhs; Ming Tao; Fengfeng Chu; Mikhail Ordin – Metacognition and Learning, 2024
The writing system -- the transparency of orthography in alphabet-based systems and differences between logographic and phonetic-based systems -- can affect the efficiency of inferential word learning when words are introduced visually. It can also shape how people self-evaluate their learning success (we refer to such type of self-evaluation as…

Kaltenegger, Sandra – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2023
Chinese is a highly complex language with internal variation unprecedented in most other languages. Yet, that does not mean Chinese is unique in the sense that it cannot be compared to other languages and new concepts need to be introduced for the description of it. This paper is dedicated to the question of how to apply the notion of…

Verhoeven, Ludo; Perfetti, Charles – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2022
In this article, we provide a cross-linguistic perspective on the universals and particulars in learning to read across seventeen different orthographies. Starting from the assumption that reading reflects a learned sensitivity to the systematic relationships between the surface forms of words and their meanings, we chose a broad group of…

Mohammed, Ruaa Jassim; Al-Marsumi, Nawar Hussein Rdhaiwi – Arab World English Journal, 2022
The study deals with emphatic constructions in English and Arabic scientific texts. To the researcher's best knowledge, this topic received little attention from linguistic researchers, exceptionally in functional grammar analysis. The importance of this study arises from the fact that some syntactic forms are effective linguistic choices for…

Zitouni, Mimouna; Zemni, Bahia; Abdul-Ghafour, Abdul-Qader – Journal of Language and Linguistic Studies, 2022
The current study investigated the nuances among Qur'anic near-synonyms and the reflection of such semantic differences in English and French translations. Initially, it aimed to highlight the contextual meanings of the selected sets of Qur'anic near-synonyms in the light of the exegeses of the Holy Qur'an. Moreover, it explicated the nuances…

Patience Stevens; David C. Plaut – Grantee Submission, 2022
The morphological structure of complex words impacts how they are processed during visual word recognition. This impact varies over the course of reading acquisition and for different languages and writing systems. Many theories of morphological processing rely on a decomposition mechanism, in which words are decomposed into explicit…

Yan, Ming; Pan, Jinger; Chang, Wenshuo; Kliegl, Reinhold – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2019
During the reading of alphabetic scripts and scene perception, eye movements are programmed more efficiently in horizontal direction than in vertical direction. We propose that such a directional advantage may be due the overwhelming reading experience in the horizontal direction. Writing orientation is highly flexible for Traditional Chinese…

Hawamdeh, Mohammad Amin – Advances in Language and Literary Studies, 2021
The present study aims at observing how bracketed insertions in translation elicit mutual cooperation with receptors. As a survey-based study applying to an officially approved English interpretation of the Quran, it seeks to examine whether any insertions in brackets hinder the SL message from being well-conveyed and for what reasons they may be…

Yanjiao Zhu; Peggy Mok – International Journal of Multilingualism, 2024
This study examines the production of third language (L3) German consonant clusters by 26 L1 Cantonese-L2 English bilinguals, with the aim of uncovering the possible cross-linguistic influences on L3 pronunciation. Learners' production of 17 onset and 21 coda German consonant clusters were auditorily analysed with respect to accuracy and error…

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…

Landerl, Karin; Castles, Anne; Parrila, Rauno – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2022
In this paper, we survey current evidence on cognitive precursors of reading in different orthographies by reviewing studies with a cross-linguistic research design. Graphic symbol knowledge, phonological awareness, morphological awareness, and rapid automatized naming were found to be associated with reading acquisition in all orthographies…

David Allen – Language Teaching Research, 2025
When inferring the meaning of unknown words in a second language, learners make use of a variety of cues including the cross-linguistic formal similarities of loanwords and cognates. However, because learners do not always recognize these cross-linguistic relationships, cognate strategy training has been recommended. The present study investigated…
