Abstract(in English) | The traditional theories on the process of reading aloud Japanese scripts assume that morphographic Kanji activates its semantics to retrieve phonology whereas phonographic Kana is directly converted into phonology. These views has been supported by neuropsychological evidence that, among a population of Japanese acquired dyslexic patients, some show a more salient deficit on Kanji than Kana, and others vice versa. Against these traditional views, we review accumulating evidence from our research on normal readers and patients with acquired dyslexia to demonstrate that phonology of Kanji is computed also directly from orthography and that semantics is involved in phonological computation in Kana. On the basis of these results, we propose cognitive models in which the process involved in reading aloud is substantially shared between Kanji and Kana strings. |
