A gradient-based preference for sonority markedness constraints in reading: evidence for intact phonological grammar in developmental dyslexia

HIGHLIGHTS

• What: To answer this question, the authors focused on the phonological segmentation strategies of DYS children compared to CA and RL peers in a lexical decision task. The authors aimed to demonstrate that the phonological deficit stems from degraded access to intact phonological syllable representations, while a gradient-based preference that follows sonority markedness constraints rooted in an active universal grammar guides the syllable segmentation of unattested, ill-formed intervocalic 〈C1C2〉 clusters. The authors propose that 〈VC〉 syllables are non-canonical phonological sublexical representations that are underrepresented in French.
• Who: Abbreviations and colleagues from the . . .
