Abstract | Russian is an Indo-European
language that uses Cyrillic alphabet to represent the sounds
of language. The system of correspondences between
orthography and phonology in Russian is distinct from
languages studied to date. On one hand, the pronunciations
of letters are unpredictable e.g. may have alternative
pronunciations; on the other hand, the mappings between
orthography and phonology are regular since all alternations
may be described in terms of regular rules e.g. final devoicing.
Therefore, the translation from orthography to phonology are
fully context-dependent. The aim of the present study was to
investigate what effect this unique feature of Russian has on
skilled reading of monosyllabic words. Russian metrics for
type and token predictability were estimated based on the
sample of 50 000 words. The results of mixed modeling show
that words containing potentially unpredictable sounds elicit
longer naming times. The results are discussed in terms of
existing models of word reading. |
