Error Profiles of Dyslexic and Non Dyslexic Children in Their L1 (Greek) and L2 (English)

摘要

It is generally accepted that not all languages are equal in terms of their phonological complexity, spelling/orthography or grammar. Thus, it is obvious that the more complex a language system is the harder it is to acquire for both normally developing and dyslexic children. A language with a ^perfecf9 spelling is one with no alternative spellings fcr the same sound and no overlap in the code where one spelling pattern stands for diferent sounds (Spencer, 2000).
