在字母书写系统中，最一致的对应关系保持在书写和口语片段之间。虽然英语拼写使用罗马字母表，因此主要是表音文字，但它也编码了非音位区别，如同音字之间的区别（例如，pair、帕雷、pear）。我们回顾了英语拼写在某种程度上是在后缀层面上形态学的证据：（例如-s和-艾德）有一个常量拼写（“-s”和“-艾德”），尽管它们在语音实现上有所不同（-s被实现为[zi，[s]或[ez]，取决于前面的段）;而其他后缀（例如-ic）的拼写与同音词词尾的音位序列不同（例如“relic”与“relick”）。我们探讨了心理语言学研究结果对英语书面语形态加工的影响，特别关注“词缀剥离”过程。心理语言学研究在很大程度上假定了形态学拼写的直接语言有效性，而没有认识到它在类型学上的不寻常性质，也没有认识到它与形态学、音韵学和语义学之间微妙而复杂的关系。
In alphabetic writing systems, the most consistent correspondences hold between written and spoken segments. Although English spelling uses the Roman alphabet and is thus largely phonographic, it also encodes non phonological distinctions such as those among homophonic words (e.g., pair, pare, pear). We review evidence that English spelling is to some extent morphographic at the level of suffixes: some suffixes (e.g. -s and -ed) have a single constant spelling ("-s", and "-ed"), despite the fact that they vary in phonological realization (-s is realized as [zi, [s], or [ez], depending on the preceding segment); while other suffixes (e.g. -ic) are spelled differently from homophonous word -final phonological sequences (e.g. "relic" vs. "relick"). We explore the implications of our research for psycholinguistic findings on morphological processing of written English, with a special focus on 'affix stripping' processes. Psycholinguistic research has largely assumed the straightforward linguistic validity of morphographic spelling, without appreciating either its typologically unusual nature or the subtle and complex relation that it bears to morphology, phonology, and semantics.
