The aim of this edited volume is to examine how advances in technology are… read more
The intersection of sound processing, speech production, and literacy is a promising and growing area of study. This volume showcases recent empirical research exploring the association between linguistic rhythm and reading. Linguistic rhythm does not easily assume a single definition, which is… read more
As screen reading becomes the new standard, valid measures for capturing the defining features of reading ability as it moves from paper to screens must be developed.
