Comparisons across languages have long been a means to investigate universal properties of the cognitive system. Although differences between languages may be salient, it is the underlying similarities that have advanced our understanding of language processing. Frost is not unique in emphasizing that the interaction among linguistic codes reinforces the inadequacy of constructing a model of word recognition where orthographic processes operate in isolation.
语言间的对比一直是研究认知系统普遍属性的一种手段。尽管语言之间的差异可能很明显,但正是这些潜在的相似之处推动了我们对语言处理的理解。Frost 并非唯一强调语言代码之间的相互作用强化了构建一个孤立的正字法过程起作用的单词识别模型的不足的人。
