Scanning in Different Scripts: Does Jawi Interfere with Bahasa Malaysia and English?

Randall, Mick

RELC Journal: A Journal of Language Teaching and Research in Southeast Asia, v22 n2 p98-112 Dec 1991

Ways are discussed in which these patterns may be related to the underlying linguistic structure of words in Bahasa Malaysia, English, and Arabic. (13 references) (LB)
