de Boysson-Bardies, Benedicte; And Others – Journal of Child Language, 1981

Feldman, Laurie B.; Turvey, M. T. – Language and Speech, 1980
When two Japanese adults named colors written in Kanji, a logographic orthography, and in Kana, a syllabary, the latency to vocalization was consistently less for Kana. This superiority of Kana is attributed to the closer relation of Kana to phonology and, therefore, to speech. (Author/RL)

Geurts, Bart – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2003
It has been known for several decades that young children have difficulties with universal sentences.
