“…Thus, A.D.'s problem was attributed to the subprocess of phonetic blending, which forms part of the functions attributed to the orthographic to phonological conversion system, used in the nonlexical route, but which leaves lexical processing intact. Similar cases have subsequently been described in Spanish-speaking patients (see, for example, Dansilio & Dalmas 1997;Cuetos & Labos, 2001;Cuetos, Martínez, Martínez, Izura, & Ellis, 2003;Ferreres, López, & China, 2002;Ferreres, Martínez-Cuitiño, Jacubovich, Olmedo, & López, 2003;Iribarren, Jarema, & Lecours, 1999).…”

Evidence for Linguistic Deficit in Nonlexical Processing in Reading. A Study of a Spanish-Speaking Patient

2008

Previous studies have shown that in the so-called opaque languages (those in which spelling does not correspond to pronunciation), there are relatively independent routes for lexical and nonlexical processing, that is, for words and nonwords, both in spoken and in written language. On the other hand, in the so-called transparent languages (those in which pronunciation corresponds to written forms), empirical evidence is scarcer. In this study of a neurological patient (parieto-temporal lesion), speaker of a transparent language (Spanish) showing a specific deficit in nonlexical reading processing, linguistic analysis for words was relatively preserved. This finding suggests the use of various routes in the processing of transparent languages. Keywords: reading, nonlexical, transparent languageEstudios previos han mostrado que los llamados lenguajes opacos (en los que la ortografía no se corresponde con la pronunciación), hay rutas relativamente independientes para el procesamiento léxico y no léxico, es decir para palabras y no palabras, tanto en lengjaue hablado como escrito. Por otro lado, en los llamados lenguajes transparentes (en los que la pronunciación se corresponde con las formas escritas), hay menos evidencia empírica. En este estudio de un paciente neurológico (lesión parieto-temporal), que habla un lenguaje transparente (español), mostrando un déficit específico en el procesamiento de lectura no léxica, el análisis lingüística para las palabras estaba relativamente preservada. Este descubrimiento sugiere el uso de varias rutas en el procesamiento de los lenguajes transparentes.

“…Evidence consistent with this idea is reported by Cuetos, Valle-Arroyo and Suarez [15] in a case study concerning a patient, AD, who presents evidence of a phonological dyslexia in Spanish. (Ferreres and colleagues [19] have reported another case of phonological dyslexia in Spanish, AP, but do not discuss his performance on tasks of lexical reading in detail.) AD, like the other patients we have reviewed, was a highly educated individual and had been extensively literate prior to his injury.…”

Acquired Dyslexia in Spanish: A Review and Some Observations on a New Case of Deep Dyslexia

Readers and writers of Spanish use an orthography that is highly transparent. It has been proposed that readers of Spanish can rely on grapheme-phoneme correspondences, alone, to access meaning or phonology from print. In recent years, a number of case studies have yielded evidence inconsistent with this idea. We review these studies with particular focus on those that report evidence for reading based on direct lexical mappings between print, orthographic representations, and meaning or phonology. We report a new case of acquired literacy impairment in Spanish, MJ, who presents a pattern of preserved abilities and deficits symptomatic of deep dyslexia. The patient is unable to read nonwords, but can read a substantial number of words. Her reading is characterized by the production of semantic, visual, and derivational errors. We argue that MJ has a deficit in her lexical selection ability, common to both her reading and her naming problems. We propose that MJ, and the other cases we review, demonstrate that lexical reading is adopted by skilled readers even in a transparent language.

“…pings) such as English [1,14,20,50] or in an ideographic orthography such as Japanese [21,45]. However, the existence of two routes (lexical and sub-lexical) for reading in transparent orthographies (languages that have highly consistent orthography-phonology mappings) has been strongly indicated by the report of both phonological and surface (input and output types) dyslexic patients in this kind of languages (in Spanish [12,[17][18][19]31,36]; in Italian [4,22,32,37,44,51]).…”

Semantic Dementia without Surface Dyslexia in Spanish: Unimpaired Reading with Impaired Semantics

Surface dyslexia has been attributed to an overreliance on the sub-lexical route for reading. Typically, surface dyslexic patients commit regularisation errors when reading irregular words. Also, semantic dementia has often been associated with surface dyslexia, leading to some explanations of the reading impairment that stress the role of semantics in irregular word reading. Nevertheless, some patients have been reported with unimpaired ability to read irregular words, even though they show severe comprehension impairment. We present the case of M.B., the first Spanish-speaking semantic dementia patient to be reported who shows unimpaired reading of non-words, regular words, and–most strikingly–irregular loan words. M.B. has severely impaired comprehension of the same words he reads correctly (whether regular or irregular). We argue that M.B.’s pattern of performance shows that irregular words can be correctly read even with impaired semantic knowledge corresponding to those words.
