A Meta-Synthesis on the Importance of Diacritical Marks in Arabic Word Recognition for Typically Developed Arabic Readers: Toward a Comprehensive Theory
Direct linkDirect link
Mohammed R. A. A. Jouhar – ProQuest LLC, 2020
The purpose of this meta-synthesis is to formulate a hypothesis concerning the importance of diacritical marks in Arabic word recognition for typically developed Arabic readers. I propose that the importance of diacritical marks in Arabic word recognition varies as a function of grade level, stimuli frequency, and text affiliation. Stimuli…

Spelling Errors as a Window on Variations in Phonological Deficits among Students with Dyslexia.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Sawyer, Diane J.; Wade, Sally; Kim, Jwa K. – Annals of Dyslexia, 1999
Characteristics of spelling development and spelling error patterns were examined in 100 schoolchildren (ages 7 to 15) previously identified as dyslexic with specific phonological weaknesses. Comparison of subgroups indicated that better spellers are also better readers and that measures of phonemic segmenting and manipulation make independent…

Using a Phonological Framework to Describe Speech Errors of Orally Trained, Hearing-Impaired School-Agers.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Abraham, Suzanne – Journal of Speech and Hearing Disorders, 1989
A phonological framework was used to describe the speech errors of 13 orally trained hearing-impaired children, ages 6 to 16. Among findings were that initial consonant inventories were larger than final consonant inventories and that production accuracy was significantly related to size of consonant inventories.

Perception of Place of Articulation by Children with Cleft Palate and Posterior Placement.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Whitehill, Tara L.; Francis, Alexander L.; Ching, Christine K-Y. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2003
A study examined if 10 children (ages 4-12) with repaired cleft palate who demonstrate posterior placement of alveolar targets differed from 10 children with cleft palate without such error patterns, and from 10 controls in the perception of alveolar targets. Children with posterior placement appeared unable to distinguish alveolar targets.…

The Spelling's the Thing: Knowledge of Derivational Morphology in Orthography and Phonology among Older Students.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Templeton, Shane; Scarborough-Franks, Linda – Applied Psycholinguistics, 1985
Reports a study that examined sixth- and 10th-grade students' ability to generate orthographic and phonetic derivatives for three predominant vowel-alternation patterns characteristic of internal derivational morphology. Results support the hypothesis that a productive knowledge of these patterns in orthography precedes a productive knowledge of…
