Journal of Educational Psychology, v95 n1 p52-57 Mar 2003
Investigates whether children can use partial information to learn the pronunciations of Chinese characters. Children learned to pronounce more regular characters, which contain full information about pronunciation, and more tone-different and onset-different characters, which contain partial information about pronunciation, than characters with unknown phonetic components, which contain no information about pronunciation. (Contains 30 references and 3 tables.) (GCP)
