Spelling morphology: psycholinguistic, typological and crosslinguistic perspectives on spelling acquisition in hebrew

Far from being a mere technical skill, spelling is now perceived in psychological and psycholinguistic literature as a window into what an individual knowsabout words, and the acquisition of spelling is regarded as a process of conceptual and linguistic learning. In recent years linguists and psychologists have shown growing interest in the linguistic nature of alphabetic orthographic systems, in their psycholinguistic representation in adults and in their developmental history in children learning to read and write. The question of orthographic depth - to what extent an orthographic system fully and systematicallyreflects the phonology of the language it represents - has been studied extensively, and is critical in the learning to read and write in many languages. No book has ever been written about spelling acquisition in Hebrew Provides themost comprehensive and detailed model linguistically-based of Hebrew orthography Integrates, for the first time, linguistic insights and developmental psycholinguistic evidence for the acquisition of spelling INDICE: Introduction: Hebrew morphology and spelling in a typological perspective.- Morphological acquisition in Hebrew: a psycholinguistic view of non-linear and linear morphology.- Theories of spelling acquisition.- A model of Hebrew orthographic structure and acquisition.- Root letters.- Function letters.- Internal vowel letters.- Hebrew spelling development in a cross-linguistic perspective: Dutch and Hebrew.- Further examinations of cross-linguistic differences: Hebrew, English, Arabic.- Conclusions.
