“…Many functional brain imaging studies have highlighted differences between logographic writing systems (such as Chinese or the Japanese script Kanji, based on a code in which the orthographic symbol as a whole is mapped onto the semantic level), the Japanese script Kana (based on a syllabic code that is used to represent syllables instead of phonemes or words) and Indo-European languages such as English, German or Spanish (based on an alphabetic code) [6][7][8]. So far the picture is that of a common network of brain areas involved in the core aspects of reading and language processing, but with noticeable differences, depending on the particular characteristics of the writing system itself [9].…”

“…Las pruebas magnetoencefalográficas y las imágenes por resonancia magnética funcional han demostrado que los perfiles de activación cerebral son distintos cuando el lector lee kanji versus otros tipos de escritura fonográfica (Buchweitz y otros, 2009;Valaki y otros, 2003). No obstante, aún no es posible determinar de forma categórica cómo acceden al significado los lectores no nativos de un sistema logográfico y si pueden prescindir de la ruta fonológica.…”

“…De la misma forma, Valaki y otros (2003) han clasificado las lenguas de acuerdo a los sistemas de escritura con los que están asociados. Sobre la base de ese criterio las han clasificado de la siguiente forma: (1) sistema alfabético con lectura parcialmente morfográfica, como el inglés; (2) sistema alfabético con reglas rígidas de correspondencia entre grafema y fonema, como el español y el italiano; (3) sistema silábico y logográfico mixto, como el japonés; y (4) sistema logográfico, como el chino.…”
