guarantee that they are symmetrical with the letter-sound rules of the obvious orthographies. Therefore, there are some advantages of English is not having a completely regular orthography. For instance, versed readers of English can differentiate the meaning of homophones such as colonel and kernel directly from their written form. In an obvious orthography, they would be spelled the same way. The disadvantages of a vague orthography are the existence of many irregular words whose pronunciation cannot be

Orthographic (Surface) Dyslexia: There are two main types of dyslexia; Phonological Dyslexia and Orthographic (Surface) Dyslexia. Children with dyslexia find it difficult to map the orthography (words) of language with the phonology (sound) of the language. This is why problems arise with phonology and orthography for a person with dyslexia. Phonological Dyslexia is the type of dyslexia that hinders one's ability to identify basic sounds and causes them to lose phonemic awareness, or the ability

The study is focused on testing the rate of literacy acquisition in orthographically consistent Welsh language, and orthographically inconsistent English language. Reading tests were used to compare the frequency of written experience. In the article, Ellis and Hooper refer to other related studies concerning reading acquisitions. One of the statements that have been discussed is that the reason why the effect of consistency of mapping has been extensively studied is that of relating symbols and

Contributions to Early English Orthography What influenced English orthography to be what it is today? How did early English writers derive the spellings of certain words? One possible answer to these questions is addressed by Jerzy Welna in his article “On Early Pseudo-Learned Orthographic Forms: A Contribution to the History of English Spelling and Pronunciation” published in Studia Anglica Posnaniensia. Welna formats his argument as a numbered list where he touches on one spelling pattern adapted

This is the main motivation behind why a large number of learners throughout the world are endeavoring to enhance their English language capability. A basic segment of this capability is enhancing one's ability for writing since this ability is absolutely essential for employment in recent

Dyslexia cannot be contained to ‘issues with reading and writing’. It can be defined as a neuro-developmental disorder stemming from a biological origin, manifesting in with behavioural signs that extend beyond difficulties with written language (Frith, 1999). While this is a common disorder, with 1 in 5 students having a language-based learning disorder, and dyslexia being the most common, the specific definition and explanation of dyslexia has been debated (Dyslexia Centre of Utah, 2010).
