Spelling as Statistical Learning: Using Consonantal Context to Spell Vowels
Although English lacks 1-to-1 relationships between sounds and spellings, considering the context in which a phoneme occurs can often aid in selecting a spelling. For example, /ɑ/ is typically spelled as a when it follows /w/, as in wand, but as o when it follows other consonants, as in pond. In 2 experiments, the authors asked whether children’s spellings of vowels in nonwords were affected by...

When college students pronounce nonwords, their vowel pronunciations may be affected not only by the consonant that follows the vowel, the coda, but also by the preceding consonant, the onset (Treiman, Kessler, & Bick, 2003). We presented the nonwords used by Treiman et al. to a total of 94 first graders, third graders, fifth graders, and high school students to determine when these context inf...
متن کاملLearning to Find Context Based Spelling Errors
A context-based spelling error is a spelling or typing error that turns an intended word into another word of the language. For example, the intended word “sight” might become the word “site.” A spell checker cannot identify such an error. In the English language— the case of interest here—a syntax checker may also fail to catch such an error since, among other reasons, the parts-of-speech of a...
متن کاملContext sensitivity in the spelling of English vowels
Statistical analyses of English sound-to-spelling correspondences (Kessler & Treiman, 2001) show that vowel spellings become more predictable, in some cases, when the preceding and following consonants are taken into account. In four experiments, we asked whether adult spellers are sensitive to such associations. We found evidence for sensitivity to associations involving both preceding and fol...
