The links between spellings and sounds in a large set of English words with consonant-vowel-consonant phonological structure were examined. orthographic rimes, or units consisting of a vowel grapheme and a final consonant grapheme, had more stable pronunciations than either individual vowels or initial consonant-plus-vowel units. In 2 large-scale studies of word pronunciation, the consistency of pronunciation of the orthographic rime accounted for variance in latencies and errors beyond that contributed by the consistency of pronunciation of the individual graphemes and by other factors. In 3 experiments, as well, children and adults made more errors on words with less consistently pronounced orthographic rimes than on words with more consistently pronounced orthographic rimes. Relations between spellings and sounds in the simple monomorphemic words of English are more predictable when the level of onsets and rimes is taken into account than when only graphemes and phonemes are considered.
对一大批具有辅音-元音-辅音音韵结构的英语单词中拼写与发音之间的联系进行了研究。正字法韵部，即由一个元音字素和一个最后的辅音字素组成的单位，其发音比单个元音或开头的辅音加元音单位更为稳定。在两项关于单词发音的大规模研究中，正字法韵部发音的一致性所解释的潜伏期和错误的方差，超出了单个字素发音的一致性及其他因素所造成的方差。同样，在三项实验中，儿童和成人在正字法韵部发音一致性较差的单词上所犯的错误，比在正字法韵部发音一致性较好的单词上更多。当把词首和韵部的层面考虑在内时，英语中简单单语素单词的拼写与发音之间的关系，比仅考虑字素和音素时更具可预测性。
