Linguistic Rhythm and Literacy PDF
Edited by Thomson Jenny Thomson, Jarmulowicz Linda Jarmulowicz
Part of the Trends in Language Acquisition Research series
Description
The intersection of sound processing, speech production, and literacy is a promising and growing area of study.
This volume showcases recent empirical research exploring the association between linguistic rhythm and reading.
Linguistic rhythm does not easily assume a single definition, which is part of the motivation for this volume, and subsumes constructs including suprasegmental phonology, prosody, intonation and stress.
The twelve papers collected here are the product of a gathering of like-minded researchers from the disciplines of linguistics, psycholinguistics, developmental psychology, cognitive neuroscience and education.
The resulting chapters cover topics including the following: developmental interactions between linguistic rhythm and reading and spelling, relationships between rhythm and dyslexia, and cross-linguistic variation in the relationship between lexical stress and orthography.
This book will be of interest to researchers and graduate students in the fields of linguistics, human communication, developmental psychology, cognitive psychology and literacy.
