Out of this word : the effect of parafoveal orthographic information on central word processingDare, Natasha January 2010 (has links)
The aim of this thesis is to investigate the effect of parafoveal information on central word processing. This topic impacts on two controversial areas of research: the allocation of attention during reading, and letter processing during word recognition. Researchers into the role of attention during reading are split into two camps, with some believing that attention is allocated serially to consecutive words and others that it is spread across multiple words in parallel. This debate has been informed by the results of recent experiments that test a key prediction of the parallel processing theory that parafoveal and foveal processing occur concurrently. However, there is a gap in the literature for tightly-controlled experiments to further test this prediction. In contrast, the study of the processing that letters undergo during word recognition has a long history, with many researchers concluding that letter identity is processed only conjointly with letter ‘slot’ position within a word, known as ‘slot-based’ coding. However, recent innovative studies have demonstrated that more word priming is produced from prime letter strings containing letter transpositions than from primes containing letter substitutions, although this work has not been extended to parafoveal letter prime presentations. This thesis will also discuss the neglected subject of how research into these separate topics of text reading and isolated word recognition can be integrated via parafoveal processing. It presents six experiments designed to investigate how our responses to a central word are affected by varying its relationship with simultaneously presented parafoveal information. Experiment 1 introduced the Flanking Letters Lexical Decision task in which a lexical decision was made to words flanked by bigrams either orthographically related or unrelated to the response word; the results indicated that there is parafoveal orthographic priming but did not support the ‘slot-based’ coding theory as letter order was unimportant. Experiments 2-4 involved eye-tracking of participants who read sentences containing a boundary change that allowed the presentation of an orthographically related word in parafoveal vision. Experiment 2 demonstrated that an orthographically related word at position n+1 reduces first-pass fixations on word n, indicating parallel processing of these words. Experiment 4 replicated this result, and also showed that altering the letter identity of word n+1 reduced orthographic priming whereas altering letter order did not, indicating that slot-based coding of letters does not occur during reading. However, Experiment 3 found that an orthographically related word presented at position n-1 did not prime word n, signifying the influence of reading direction on parafoveal processing. Experiment 5 investigated whether the parallel processing that words undergo during text reading conditions our representations of isolated words; lexical decision times to words flanked by bigrams that formed plausible or implausible contexts did not differ. Lastly, one possible cause of the reading disorder dyslexia is under- or over- processing of parafoveal information. Experiment 6 therefore replicated Experiment 1 including a sample of dyslexia sufferers but found no interaction between reading ability and parafoveal processing. Overall, the results of this thesis lead to the conclusion that there is extensive processing of parafoveal information during both reading (indicating parallel processing) and word recognition (contraindicating slot-based coding), and that underpinning both our reading and word recognition processes is the flexibility of our information-gathering mechanisms.

L’apprentissage de l’orthographe chez les apprenants chinois du français L2 : une analyse portant sur un corpus écrit / Orthographic learning by Chinese-speaking university learners of French L2 : an analysis based on a written corpusLi, Yilun 06 September 2018 (has links)
Dans l’apprentissage du français écrit, la norme orthographique représente un lieu de difficulté majeure. Confronté à des complexités multiples, tout scripteur aura un long trajet à parcourir avant d’arriver à la maîtrise complète des traitements orthographiques, et ceci est sans doute d’autant plus vrai lorsqu’il s’agit de s’approprier le système orthographique du français dans une langue étrangère. Cette étude vise donc à analyser la réalisation orthographique, chez les apprenants chinois du français L2. Pour ce faire, nous examinons les données issues d’une tâche écrite semi-spontanée, en nous attachant plus particulièrement au profil développemental des apprenants chinois, et leur tendances interlangagières face aux problèmes de l’orthographe lexicale, de l’accord en nombre et genre et de la morphologie verbale. En outre, une analyse des erreurs commises par les apprenants, ainsi que les explications possibles pour interpréter ces erreurs sont également présentées, en faisant référence aux caractéristiques spécifiques de l’apprentissage de la langue étrangère. / In the area of written French, the orthographic learning represents a major difficulty. Faced with multiple complexities, any writer will have a long way to go before arriving at the complete control of spelling, and this is probably more true when it comes to appropriating this French system in a foreign language which is typologically distinct from the French language. This study aims to analyze the orthographic realization in French L2, for Chinese learners. To do this, we examine data from a semi-spontaneous writing task, focusing in particular on the developmental profile of learners, and their interlanguage tendencies in relation to the problems of lexical orthography, number/gender agreement, and verbal morphology. In addition, an errors analysis as well as possible explanations for interpreting these errors are also presented, with reference to the specific characteristics of L2 learning.

Výzkum žákovského pojetí pravopisné problematiky na druhém stupni ZŠ / The research on pupil's conception of grammatical problems on the second degree of primary schoolDVOŘÁKOVÁ, Jana January 2011 (has links)
This Diploma Thesis is concerned with the research on pupils? conception of orthographical questions, importance and relevance to grammatical phenomena and grammatical correctness in current communication used by pupils in secondary schools. The Thesis is divided into three parts. The theoretical part deals with the definition of term ?orthography?, orthographical principles and functions, the importance of orthography and its types. There is also a section in the theoretical part which is concerned with the main tendencies and the newest approaches to orthography in secondary schools. In this part attention is focused on history of orthography, orthographical limitations and analysis of mistakes in current school, further the influence of computer on spelling and its educational usage, types of orthographical exercises, its correction and marking. It also contains a cross-section of orthographical questions in the Slovak Republic and foreigners? spelling problems. The practical part deals with the analysis of theoretical curriculum converted into practical tasks. There are also the most frequent mistakes and pupils? attitude to orthography education in this part, which we got on the basis of questionnaire evaluation. In the third part, which is also practical, there are some methods for pupils? motivation which should help to raise the efficiency of orthography education in secondary schools.

Pravopisná cvičení v didaktice ČJ na 2. stupni / Ortoghraphical exercises in the didactics of Czech language in the second gradeBEČKOVÁ, Lucie January 2014 (has links)
This dissertation analyses various kinds of the orthographical exercises in the second grade of the primary school. The dissertation focuses on the question of orthography in the theoretical part, after that it focuses on a short view of orthography in the Czech history or its division into lexical, morphological and syntactical orthography. We find here a short description of the orthography and a view of orthographical's effects in the teaching of Czech language in the primary school or meeting with orthographical guides. The goal of the practical part of this dissertation is a deeper typological description of these exercises, we will primarily focus on examples of rewriting, orthographical analysis, refilling and alternating exercises and dictations.
