A child with developmental dyslexia or an adult with a reading
disorder following brain damage might read the word shoe as 'show',
why does this happen? Most current information processing models of
reading distinguish between two alternative procedures for the
pronunciation of a printed word. The difference between these
concerns the level at which orthography is translated to phonology
in one, the word-level procedure, a word is read aloud with
reference to knowledge specific to that whole word. In the other,
the sub-word-level procedure, a printed word is pronounced with
reference to knowledge about smaller segments which occur in many
different words. Both procedures contribute to normal skilled
reading and its acquisition. But if one of the procedures is
disrupted, then oral reading will be forced to rely on the
alternative routine. Surface dyslexia is a general label for any
disorder of reading which results from inadequate functioning of
the word-level procedure and in consequence abnormal reliance on
sub-word level translation from orthography to phonology.
Originally published in 1985, this book provides new evidence about
the diverse manifestations of surface dyslexia in adult
neurological patients and in children with developmental disorders
of reading. The data are drawn from speakers of a range of
languages with distinct orthographies. Process models for the
pronunciation of print are elaborated, and an appendix gives
neurological information on the patients reported.
