A computational theory of writing systems

TL;DR: A formalized and expandable approach to the taxonomy of writing systems, which focuses on the classification of functionally homogenous subsystems, which together and in interaction with each other constitute an overall writing system.

TL;DR: In this article , the degree to which a writing system is logographic or phonographic is quantified using mutual information between graphic and phonological forms and between graphic forms and morphological identity for written Japanese and Sumerian.

TL;DR: The BasisSpellingBank is the first lexicon where the spellings and pronunciations of words are documented explicitly and separately for all relevant word parts, and the triplet notation provides a detailed, exhaustive description of Dutch orthography.

TL;DR: Since this classic work in phonology was published in 1968, there has been no other book that gives as broad a view of the subject, combining generally applicable theoretical contributions with analysis of the details of a single language.

TL;DR: The proposed measure, the association ratio, estimates word association norms directly from computer readable corpora, making it possible to estimate norms for tens of thousands of words.

TL;DR: A parallel distributed processing model of visual word recognition and pronunciation is described, which consists of sets of orthographic and phonological units and an interlevel of hidden units and which early in the learning phase corresponds to that of children acquiring word recognition skills.
