Article Synopsis
- Morphological awareness is essential for literacy in Chinese as it involves understanding the smallest units of meaning found in characters.
- An fMRI study with proficient Chinese readers showed that morphological tasks activated specific left temporal regions associated with phonological processing, while rhyme judgment tasks engaged left frontal lobe areas due to their analytical demands.
- The results indicate that left temporal regions are particularly responsive to the unique morpho-syllabic features of the Chinese language.
