Abstract 摘要
The qualitative nature of basic processes in reading Chinese texts was examined by analyzing the on-line reading performance of 32 school-labeled disabled and normal Chinese elementary readers in Taipei, Taiwan. Comparisons of oral reading responses were made between these two groups of readers through a process-oriented analysis procedure in which reading errors were categorized with respect to the influences of various cues, such as syntactic, semantic, graphic, and sound cues. Results of the analysis revealed that all readers, both disabled and normal, used various language cues in oral reading suggesting a universal aspect of reading process. However, there were orthography-specific effects due to the unique Chinese writing system. Finally, the analysis indicated that the disabled readers were unable to use the spoken speech as a means of holding seemingly disjoined Chinese characters together. Consequently, they were unable to decipher the intended meaning from printed words as presented in the passage.
