Discovering the relationship between orthography & dyslexia: from the perspective of Japanese Is the Hypothesis of Granularity and Transparency sufficient in explaining dyslexia as a worldwide phenomenon?

Bachelor thesis | Japanstudies (BA)

Is the Hypothesis of Granularity and Transparency sufficient in explaining dyslexia as a worldwide phenomenon? This thesis challenges the hypothesis that has dominated the field of dyslexia research for two decades. Based on an extensive literature review and evidence from other fields, the author attempts to create an overview of this multidisciplinary inquiry. By questioning the presented evidence of this hypothesis, the author argues against the hypothesis and offers perspectives for future research. One perspective the author suggests would be research on multiple orthographies in Japanese and their switch cost, as research on this topic provides insight on how orthography is processed. This clarifies the relationship of orthography and the dyslexia more accurately than the current hypothesis.
