Despite its central position, however, it is a concept with no precise definition or status. The present article investigates the notion of \u2018phonology\u2019 in the tradition of cognitive psychology. An attempt is made to characterize the basic assumptions of the phonological approach to dyslexia and to evaluate these assumptions on the basis of commonly accepted standards of empirical science. First, the core assumptions of phonological awareness are outlined and discussed. Second, the position of Paula Tallal is presented and discussed in order to shed light on an attempt to stretch the cognitive\u2010psychological notion of \u2018phonology\u2019 towards auditory and perceptual aspects. Both the core assumptions and Tallal's position are rejected as unfortunate, albeit for different reasons. Third, the outcome of this discussion is a search for what is referred to as a \u2018vulnerable theory\u2019 within this field. The present article claims that phonological descriptions must be based on observable linguistic behaviour, so that hypotheses can be falsified by data. Consequently, definitions of \u2018dyslexia\u2019 must be based on symptoms; causal aspects should not be included. In fact, we claim that causal aspects, such as \u2018phonological deficit\u2019, both exclude other causal hypotheses and lead to circular reasoning. If we are to use terms such as \u2018phonology\u2019 and \u2018phoneme\u2019 in dyslexia research, we must have more precise operationalizations of them.
