Word recognition processes of monolingual readers of English and of Greek were examined with respect to the orthographic and syntactic characteristics of each language. Because of Greek's direct letter-to-sound correspondence, which is unlike the indirect representation of English, the possibility was raised of a greater influence of the phonological code in Greek word recognition. Because Greek is an inflected language, whereas English is a word order language, it was also possible that syntax might influence word recognition patterns in the two languages differentially. These cross-linguistic research questions were investigated within the context of a letter cancellation paradigm. The results provide evidence that readers are sensitive to both the orthographic and the linguistic idiosyncracies of their language. The results are discussed in terms of the orthographic depth hypothesis and the competition model.
针对英语和希腊语单语读者的单词识别过程，研究了这两种语言的正字法和句法特征。由于希腊语具有直接的字母到语音的对应关系，这与英语的间接表示方式不同，因此有人提出语音编码在希腊语单词识别中可能具有更大影响。由于希腊语是一种屈折语，而英语是一种词序语言，句法也有可能以不同方式影响这两种语言的单词识别模式。这些跨语言研究问题是在字母删除范式的背景下进行调查的。结果提供了证据，表明读者对其语言的正字法和语言特性都很敏感。将根据正字法深度假说和竞争模型对结果进行讨论。
