中国香港双语儿童初步阅读能力与语音、文字加工关系的研究

A STUDY OF THE RELATIONS BETWEEN THE PHONOLOGICAL AND ORTHOGRAPHIC PROCESSING AND CHINESE CHARACTER READING OF BILINGUAL CHILDREN OF HONG KONG

采用音节检测、短时言语记忆、快速命名等语音加工任务和汉字、字母、数字等方向加工任务,探讨语音和文字加工在儿童初步阅读中的作用,116名6岁左右的香港双语儿童参加了测试。结果表明:语音加工能力是跨语言的比较稳定的因素,是预测汉语和英语阅读的较好指标;文字加工具有特异性,即汉字方向加工只能预测汉语阅读,字母方向加工则预测英语阅读。

In order to study the roles of phonological and orthographic processing in beginner reading, the syllable deletion task, the short the verbal memory task, the speeded naming task and the Chinese characters, letters and numbers orientation task were used. 116 bilingual children of Hong Kong aged about 6 took part in the test. The results showed that: 1 ) phonological processing skills, which were cross-linguistic and relatively stable, were good early predictors in Chinese character recognition and English word recognition; 2) orthographic processing was specific as character-orientating processing only predicted Chinese character recognition, while letter-orientation processing predicted English word recognition.
