“…Word processes have been claimed to be dynamic based on extensive research on word accessing in the visual modality (Zhang, Wang & Chen, ; Zhang, Wang & Yin, ) and auditory modality (Chen et al ., , ), and word production in the spoken modality (Levelt, ; Zhang & Yang, ; Zhou et al ., ) and written modality (Qu & Damian, ; Shen, Damian & Stadthagen‐Gonzalez, ; Wang & Zhang, ). Researchers have focused on what information affects word processing and when.…”

“…The written form of Chinese characters is ruled under the logographic systems, in which over 80% of characters are phonograms (Chen, Huang & Huang, ; Chen, Zhang & Li, ; Chi et al ., ; Ma, Qi & Zhang, ; Zhang, Wang & Chen, ), composed of phonetic radicals and semantic radicals. Normally, phonetic radicals provide phonological information (Chi et al ., ; Zhang, Wang & Yin, ), while semantic radicals provide semantic content (Zhang, Wang & Chen, ) or category information (Zhang, Wang & Yin, ).…”

Using a non-alphabetic language (e.g., Chinese), the present study tested a novel view that semantic information at the sublexical level should be activated during handwriting production. Over 80% of Chinese characters are phonograms, in which semantic radicals represent category information (e.g., 'chair,' 'peach,' 'orange' are related to plants) while phonetic radicals represent phonetic information (e.g., 'wolf,' 'brightness,' 'male,' are all pronounced /lang/). Under different semantic category conditions at the lexical level (semantically related in Experiment 1; semantically unrelated in Experiment 2), the orthographic relatedness and semantic relatedness of semantic radicals in the picture name and its distractor were manipulated under different SOAs (i.e., stimulus onset asynchrony, the interval between the onset of the picture and the onset of the interference word). Two questions were addressed: (1) Is it possible that semantic information could be activated in the sublexical level conditions? (2) How are semantic and orthographic information dynamically accessed in word production? Results showed that both orthographic and semantic information were activated under the present picture-word interference paradigm, dynamically under different SOAs, which supported our view that discussions on semantic processes in the writing modality should be extended to the sublexical level. The current findings provide possibility for building new orthography-phonology-semantics models in writing.
