The area of research on printed word recognition has been one of
the most active in the field of experimental psychology for well
over a decade. However, notwithstanding the energetic research
effort and despite the fact that there are many points of
consensus, major controversies still exist.
This volume is particularly concerned with the putative
relationship between language and reading. It explores the ways by
which orthography, phonology, morphology and meaning are
interrelated in the reading process. Included are theoretical
discussions as well as reviews of experimental evidence by leading
researchers in the area of experimental reading studies. The book
takes as its primary issue the question of the degree to which
basic processes in reading reflect the structural characteristics
of language such as phonology and morphology. It discusses how
those characteristics can shape a language's orthography and affect
the process of reading from word recognition to comprehension.
Contributed by specialists, the broad-ranging mix of articles
and papers not only gives a picture of current theory and data but
a view of the directions in which this research area is vigorously
moving.
