Previous meta-analyses of the relationship between phonological awareness (PA) and reading have been conducted mostly in children who speak English, a language with an opaque writing system. In this study, we present meta-analysis that examined mean correlations three PA tasks testing phonemic, syllabic, intrasyllabic word reading, nonword comprehension Spanish, near-transparent A random-effect...

This article presents the original results of Polish language statistical analysis, based on the orthographic and phonemic language corpus. Phonemic language corpus for Polish was developed by using automatic grapheme-to-phoneme conversion of the source orthographic language corpus, obtained from the National Corpus of Polish (NCP). The corpus contains the most frequently used Polish words, wri...

The Buffalo Model of Central Auditory Processing has Decoding of speech as its most basic category. Phonemes are processed in the auditory cortex, which is fundamental to the speech-language functions of the brain. Powerful phonemic test procedures and therapeutic approaches enable the audiologist to diagnose and improve decoding related aspects of speech, reading and other communication and ac...

the purpose of this article is to determine the phonemic status of [h] and [ʔ] in the sistani dialect of miyankangi. auditory tests applied to the relevant data show that [ʔ] occurs mainly in word-initial position, where it stands in free variation with ø. the only place where [h] is heard is in arabic and persian loanwords, and only in the pronunciation of some speakers who are educated and/or...

Phonemic settings and the internal models that they represent are learned in the process of language and speech acquisition. Postural settings, in contrast, rely on continuous auditory monitoring and tend to break down quickly if this monitoring process is inhibited during speech production. Evidence presented in the literature seems to indicate that stable internal models are mostly associated...

There is a consensus between many linguists that half of all languages risk disappearing by the end of the century. Documentation is agreed to be a priority. This includes the process of phonemic analysis to discover the contrastive sounds of a language with the resulting bene ts of further linguistic analysis, literacy, and access to speech technology. A machine-assisted approach to phonemic a...

Sixty children with severe reading disabilities were randomly assigned to two instructional programs that incorporated principles of effective instruction but differed in depth and extent of instruction in phonemic awareness and phonemic decoding skills. All children received 67.5 hours of one-to-one instruction in two 50-minute sessions per day for 8 weeks. Both instructional programs produced...

This paper presents experimental data that attempts to tie together two different phenomena. First, there is strong evidence that phonemic awareness is strongly influenced by one's writing system such that learning an alphabetic writing system focuses attention on the segment as a unit separate from other larger units, such as syllables. This phenomena may be related to the Developmental Weight...

Early identification of students at risk of dyslexia has been an educational challenge in the past years. This research had two main goals. First, we aimed to develop a screening protocol for early identification of Brazilian children at risk for dyslexia; second, we aimed to identify the predictive variables of this protocol using Principal Component Analysis. The major step involved in develo...

The nature and frequency of speech production errors in neurodegenerative disease have not previously been precisely quantified. In the present study, 16 patients with a progressive form of non-fluent aphasia (PNFA) were asked to tell a story from a wordless children's picture book. Errors in production were classified as either phonemic, involving language-based deformations that nevertheless ...
