| Abstract(in English) | In the English speaking world, the dyslexics form a substantial minority group-up to 10% of the population in English speaking countries fall into this group. The hypothesis postulating that dyslexia can be characterized as a core phonological deficit or delay has gained particular prominence in recent years, and many empirical studies have shown to support this. In contrast, a nation-wide survey by Kokuritsu-Tokushu-Kyoiku-Sougou-Kenkyujyo (1995) revealed less than 2% of children (between 7 and 12 years old) having difficulty in reading and writing. Possible reasons why this discrepancy between the two different languages will be discussed with reference to Wydell & Butterworth' s (1999) case study of an English-Japanese bilingual with monolingual dyslexia. |
