Over the last two decades, the study of languages and writing
systems and their relationship to literacy acquisition has begun to
spread beyond studies based mostly on English language learners. As
the worldwide demand for literacy continues to grow, researchers
from different countries with different language backgrounds have
begun examining the connection between their language and writing
system and literacy acquisition. This volume is part of this new,
emerging field of research. In addition to reviewing psychological
research on reading (the author's specialty), the reader is
introduced to the Hebrew language: its structure, its history, its
writing system, and the issues involved in being fluently literate
in Hebrew. Chapters 1-4 introduce the reader to the Hebrew language
and word structure and focuses on aspects of Hebrew that have been
specifically researched by experimental cognitive psychologists.
The reader whose only interest is in the psychological mechanisms
of reading Hebrew may be satisfied with these chapters. Chapters
5-8 briefly surveys the history of the Hebrew language and its
writing system, the origin of literacy in Hebrew as one of the
first alphabetic systems, and then raises questions about the
viability (or possibility) of having full-scale literacy in Hebrew.
Together, the two sets of chapters present the necessary background
for studying the psychology of reading Hebrew and literacy in
Hebrew. This volume is appropriate for anyone interested in
comparative reading and writing systems or in the Hebrew language
in particular. This includes linguists, researchers, and graduate
students in such diverse fields as cognitive psychology,
psycholinguistics, literacy education, English as a second
language, and communication disorders.
