Weth, Constanze and Nanna Fuhrhop 2025 Syntactic markers and syntactic spelling: The noun phrase in German and French Writing/Reading Interface, Joyce, Terry and Constanze Weth (eds.), pp. 85–117 | Article

In this paper, we first summarize the results of studies that have investigated the acquisition, reading, and spelling of noun phrases (NPs) in German and French. Then, we present the assumptions made in those studies. In the main part of the paper, we provide a detailed comparison of German and… read more

Hettwer, Caroline and Nanna Fuhrhop 2021 Chapter 6. Stem constancy under the microscope: A systematic language comparison of types and limitations of stem spelling All Things Morphology: Its independence and its interfaces, Moradi, Sedigheh, Marcia Haag, Janie Rees-Miller and Andrija Petrovic (eds.), pp. 99–116 | Chapter

Writing systems show variation in stem spellings, for example with double consonant letters.

However, there are many more – and… read more

Fuhrhop, Nanna, Franziska Buchmann and Kristian Berg 2011 The length hierarchy and the graphematic syllable: Evidence from German and English Written Language & Literacy 14:2, pp. 275–292 | Article

Minuscules of the Roman alphabet can be subcategorized into graphemes with length (for example 〈b〉) and graphemes without length (for example 〈o〉). While plosives, which correspond to graphemes with length, occur at the syllable edge, vowels, corresponding to graphemes without length, constitute… read more
