Descripción del proyecto
La recalibración fonémica durante la adquisición de la alfabetización
¿La adquisición de la lectura redefine nuestro inventario fonémico? Para demostrar que lo hace, el proyecto ReadCalibration, financiado con fondos europeos, investigará la cronología y las propiedades detalladas de dicha recalibración. Se trata de la primera investigación sistemática de la recalibración fonémica de la alfabetización. Los hallazgos ofrecerán información importante para la investigación pragmática y las consideraciones teóricas en la percepción del lenguaje, la producción y la recalibración fonémica. El proyecto, que fusionará dos ámbitos de investigación (la adquisición de la lectura y la recalibración fonémica), demostrará que las representaciones fonémicas se han vuelto más estables y menos dispersas durante el proceso de aprendizaje de la lectura. Los resultados del proyecto tendrán grandes implicaciones para el ámbito clínico (en las teorías y la corrección de la dislexia y la sordera) y para las políticas sociales y la educación.
Objetivo
The main goal of this project is to demonstrate that reading acquisition (RA) drastically reshapes our phonemic inventory, and to investigate the time-course and fine-grained properties of this recalibration. The main innovative and ground-breaking aspect of this project is the merging of two research fields, (1) reading acquisition and (2) phonemic recalibration, together with a deep and extensive exploration of the (3) perception-production link, which results in a new research line that pushes the boundaries of our understanding of the complex interactions between auditory and visual language perception and production.
We will demonstrate that phonemic representations (PRs) become more stable (less dispersed) during the process of learning to read, and that this recalibration varies according to the grapheme-phoneme conversion rules of the reading system. We will explore such recalibration by means of the first cross-linguistic longitudinal study examining the position and dispersion of PRs, both in perception and production of phonemes and words. Secondly, we will explore how recalibration develops when RA is impaired as is the case in dyslexic children –informing the research field on (4) dyslexia– and when pre-reading PRs are unstable as is the case in deaf children with cochlear implants –informing the research field on (5) deafness. Finally, the research will also be extended to PR recalibration during RA in a second language –informing the research on (6) bilingualism.
This proposal provides the first systematic investigation of phonemic recalibration during literacy acquisition, and will provide important insight for pragmatic research and theoretical accounts of language perception and production and phonemic recalibration. This project will also have major implications for the clinical field (theories and remediation of dyslexia and deafness) and for social policies and education (bilingualism, spoken and written language teaching).
