| Abstract(in English) | The neurobiological disorder called dyslexia is a specific learning disability that affects only literacy skills. It has been generally agreed that the reading disorder stems from a particular problem in language acquisition affecting phonological awareness. However, the exact nature of phonological awareness has not yet been all clear. On the basis of English dyslexic reading marked by an overproduction of mora(CV)-units in the absence of rhyme(VC)-units, this article explores the universal structure of phonological awareness. It demonstrates that rhyme-awareness plays a key role in reading rhyme-oriented languages such as English, whereas the concept of rhyme-awareness itself is irrelevant in mora-oriented, rhymeless languages such as Japanese, and that this difference correlates with seemingly mysterious discrepancy in the prevalence of dyslexic population between the English speaking world and the Japanese speaking world. Moreover, the article strengthens the mora-basic hypothesis that mora, which is formed by coarticulation, is the elementary frame of language. It is suggested that the mora-basic hypothesis conforms to a human neurological restriction inclined toward a synchronized behavior. |
