Abstract: Given that no visual word segmentation cue (such as word spacing) exists in written Chinese text, there are huge individual differences when Chinese readers mark the boundaries between words during reading. The present study compared the characteristics of word boundary marking between developmental dyslexia (DD) children and chronological age-matched (CA) children using off-line word segmentation task to investigate whether DD children have word boundary marking deficit in Chinese. The results showed that the agreement portion of word boundaries did not differ between DD and CA group. When further considering the influencing factor - syntactic categories of words, we found, for most of words (except conjunction words), the agreement portions of word boundaries were comparable between DD and CA group. These findings strongly suggest that Chinese children with DD do not have word boundary marking deficit in reading.

摘要: 由于汉语文本没有词间空格之类的视觉词切分线索,读者在阅读中对词的划分存在较大的个体差异。本研究采用线下词切分任务,通过比较二至四年级发展性阅读障碍儿童(简称DD)和生理年龄匹配儿童(简称CA)在阅读中的词边界划分特点,考察DD儿童是否具有线下词切分缺陷。结果发现,两组儿童的总体词切分认同率无显著差异。进一步将词性纳入分析时,结果显示:除连词外,DD组和CA组儿童对其他九种常见词性的词切分认同率也无显著差异,且在三个年级中保持高度一致。上述结果表明DD儿童的离线词划分能力并无明显缺陷。
