Abstract

There has been a good deal of research on the cognitive processes that underlie skilled reading and on how children learn to read. Spelling is another important component of literacy, but there has been less work on spelling than on reading. In the first part of this talk, I discuss the principles that underlie writing systems and how these principles play out in the case of English. Although the English spelling system is often criticized as illogical and inconsistent, some of its characteristics arise because it has other goals than representing the phonemes in words. For example, a word’s spelling may reflect its morphological structure or the language from which it originated. More.

All talks in the One World Seminar Series are underwritten by the Psychonomic Society and made available free of charge. The Psychonomic Society is committed to programmatic accessibility and has secured ASL interpretation and quality closed captioning for all One World events in the 2023-2024 schedule.
