在字母语言中，拼写到声音的一致性可能会有很大的不同。例如，英语和德语在语音和拼写结构上非常相似，但在一致性方面却不相似。在英语中，字母a在单词bank、ball和park中的发音不同，而在德语中，字母a的发音总是相同的（例如，球，公园，银行）。阅读习得对语音意识的影响是相互的。由于阅读是后天习得的，因此，英语和德语儿童的口语表征可能受到不同的影响。然而，在识字之前，由于两种语言的语音结构相似，英语和德语儿童的语音表征应该是相似的。我们探讨了这一假设，通过比较语音意识的韵脚和音素水平的预读者和开始阅读的英语和德语。在预读者中确实观察到了类似的发展效应，但在阅读教学的第一年内出现了差异效应。(c)2005年爱思唯尔公司All rights reserved.
Within alphabetic languages, spelling-to-sound consistency can differ dramatically. For example, English and German are very similar in their phonological and orthographic structure but not in their consistency. In English the letter a is pronounced differently in the words bank, ball, and park, whereas in German the letter a always has the same pronunciation (e.g., Ball, Park, Bank). It is often argued that reading acquisition has a reciprocal effect on phonological awareness. As reading is acquired, therefore, spoken language representation may be affected differently for English and German children. Prior to literacy acquisition, however, phonological representation in English and German children should be similar due to the similar phonological structure of the two languages. We explored this hypothesis by comparing phonological awareness at the rime and phoneme levels in prereaders and beginning readers in English and German. Similar developmental effects were indeed observed in prereaders, but differential effects had emerged within the first year of reading instruction. (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
