Abstract:

This book provides readers with a unique array of scholarly reflections on the
writing systems of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean in relation to reading
processes and data-driven interpretations of cross-language transfer.
Distinctively broad in scope, topics addressed in this volume include word
reading with respect to orthographic, phonological, morphological, and
semantic processing as well as cross-linguistic influences on reading in
English as a second language or a foreign language. Given that the three focal
scripts have unique orthographic features not found in other languages –
Chinese as "logography", Japanese with "multi-scripts", and Korean as
non-Roman "alphasyllabary" – chapters expound script-universal and
script-specific reading processes. As a means of scaling up the body of
knowledge traditionally focused on Anglocentric reading research, the
scientific accounts articulated in this volume importantly expand the field’s
current theoretical frameworks of word processing to theory building with
regard to these three languages.
