Abstract | Old perspective of one-way spelling-to-sound (feedforward) inconsistency was challenged
and sound-to-spelling (feedback) inconsistency was highlighted in word recognition recently
in alphabetic scripts. However, corresponding data on logographic script is lacking. The
current study presented statistical data of a newly established data corpus – Hong Kong
Corpus of Feedforward and Feedback Consistency (HKCFFC). The data corpus analysis
came up with three major findings: 1). Chinese is more feedforward inconsistent than English
and French while all three languages are highly feedback inconsistent. 2). Large proportion of
feedforward consistent characters in HKCFFC was found feedback inconsistent 3). Strong
correlation was shown between type and token consistency computed. Furthermore, feedback
inconsistency computed from type and token consistency values was examined in a
writing-to-dictation task on 30 university students. Significant feedback consistency effect
was found in error percent rate. It evidenced that frequency-weighted token consistency
better represents feedback inconsistency than type consistency. |
