Given the primary importance of lexical tone in Chinese language processing, we tested the extent to which lexical tone and aspiration, two fundamental dimensions of Cantonese speech not represented in writing, would distinguish dyslexic from non\u2010dyslexic 8\u2010year\u2010old Chinese children.\u2003Tone and aspiration were tested in addition to other phonological processing skills across groups to determine the importance of different aspects of phonological sensitivity in relation to reading disability.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Methods:\u2002<\/jats:bold>\n                    Dyslexic children and age\u2010matched and reading\u2010level controls were tested on their categorical perception of minimal pairs contrasting in tone and aspiration, phonological awareness, rapid digit naming, and Chinese reading abilities.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Results:\u2002<\/jats:bold>\n                    While performing similarly to reading\u2010level controls, dyslexic children perceived tone and aspiration contrasts less categorically and accurately than age\u2010matched controls. They also performed more poorly than the age\u2010matched controls on rapid digit naming and a measure of phonological awareness testing children\u2019s sensitivity to different grain size units.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Conclusions:\u2002<\/jats:bold>\n                    Dyslexia in non\u2010alphabetic Chinese correlates with the categorical organization and accuracy of Cantonese speech perception, along the tone and aspiration dimensions. This association with reading is mediated by its association with phonological awareness. Therefore, dyslexia is universally at least partly a function of basic speech and phonological processes independent of whether the speech dimensions in question are coded in writing.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1469-7610.2008.02001.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,11,3]],"date-time":"2008-11-03T14:24:23Z","timestamp":1225722263000},"page":"726-733","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":66,"title":["Perception of tone and aspiration contrasts in Chinese children with dyslexia"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"50","author":[{"given":"Him","family":"Cheung","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kevin K.H.","family":"Chung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Simpson W.L.","family":"Wong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Catherine","family":"McBride\u2010Chang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Trevor B.","family":"Penney","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Connie S.H.","family":"Ho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,5,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0022-0663.96.1.43"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0010-0277(86)90002-8"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","volume-title":"Modularity and the motor theory of speech perception","author":"Bertelson P.","year":"1991"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","volume-title":"Functional literacy: Theoretical issues and educational implications","author":"Bertelson P.","year":"1994"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/09541448908403083"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","unstructured":"Boersma P. &Weenink D.(2006).Praat: Doing phonetics by computer (Version 4.5.08) [Computer program].
