Originally published in 1995, this collection of papers introduced
a new dimension to the understanding of reading by focusing on the
relation between spoken and written language processing. New
perspectives on speech and reading are introduced by highlighting
aspects of the two linguistic skills that had received little
attention in the past. The comparative perspective adopted in this
collection presents an innovative focus on speech and the
acquisition of alphabetic reading skill. Major new sources of
evidence are discussed, like reading in nonconventional input
modalities, braille reading, and speech processing in lip-reading.
Contributors also discuss the reading process in non-alphabetic
orthographies and the specifics of the reading acquisition problem
in logographic or mixed writing systems (like Chinese and Japanese)
and their relations to underlying speech representations. A central
concern of all chapters is the role of phonological processes in
different modalities and writings systems, and at different stages
in the reading acquisition process. Drawing on expertise of the
contributors, the book presents a novel and varied view of the
achievements, the promises and the challenges facing the researcher
once the intimate link between speech and reading comes to the
foreground.
