The grapho-phonological system of written French: Statistical analysis and empirical validation

چکیده
The processes through which readers evoke mental representations of phonological forms from print constitute a hotly debated and controversial issue in current psycholinguistics. In this paper we present a computational analysis of the grapho-phonological system of written French, and an empirical validation of some of the obtained descriptive statistics. The results provide direct evidence demonstrating that both grapheme frequency and grapheme entropy influence performance on pseudoword naming. We discuss the implications of those findings for current models of phonological coding in visual word recognition.

Language-Specific Effects on the Development of Written Morphology
1.0 Introduction This paper discusses the morphology of children's written language from a developmental perspective, examining the acquisition of written morphology in gradeschool children from the beginning of formal literacy education to the end of gradeschool. We examine how children learning to spell Hebrew and Dutch – two typologically very different languages – approach problems in mappi...
متن کاملRegional Variations of Sentence Intonation in French The Continuation Contour in Parisian French
Numerous studies on regional variations of French sentence intonation have been conducted for some time, even before any phonological description of intonation was available. These studies are therefore characterized by a strong phonetic bias, leading researchers to gather large sets of experimental data, which once statistically organized, would give an empirical account of intonational differ...
متن کاملAn empirical study on statistical analysis and optimization of EDM process parameters for inconel 718 super alloy using D-optimal approach and genetic algorithm
Among the several non-conventional processes, electrical discharge machining (EDM) is the most widely and successfully applied for the machining of conductive parts. In this technique, the tool has no mechanical contact with the work piece and also the hardness of work piece has no effect on the machining pace. Hence, this technique could be employed to machine hard materials such as super allo...

متن کاملThe Nature of Phonological Processing and Its Causal Role in the Acquisition of Reading Skills
Three bodies of research that have developed in relative isolation center on each of three kinds of phonological processing: phonological awareness, awareness of the sound structure of language; phonological receding in lexical access, receding written symbols into a sound-based representational system to get from the written word to its lexical referent; and phonetic receding in working memory...
