The Role of Phonology in Reading Japanese: Or Why I Don't Hear Myself When Reading Japanese.
Kinoshita, Sachiko
Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, v10 n3-5 p439-55 Oct 1998
Suggests that the role of phonology may be more limited when reading text in Japanese relative to English, and that this difference is not due to variations in orthographic depth. Proposes key factors are the greater visual discriminability of kanji words under degraded conditions and the less important role of word order as a syntactic cue. (SR)
