Series IV and V: phonological dyslexia

In Chapter 7 I presented the results for five dyslexic cases in whom a morphemic impairment was combined with a relatively mild phonological disturbance. In this chapter I propose to consider eight more cases who all showed quite large phonological effects. Their results should provide an opportunity to analyse the consequences of serious inefficiency in grapheme-phoneme translation processes. On these grounds I have entitled this chapter phonological dyslexia’, although I would emphasise that all of the cases to be considered had some accompanying morphemic impair-ments. The contrast, therefore, is between cases of morphemic dyslexia having a small phonological effect (the Series III subjects) and those having a large effect.
