Developing readers in Grade 3 and skilled adult readers participated in a reading aloud task in four alphabetic orthographies (English, French, German, Italian), which differ in terms of both orthographic consistency and morphological complexity. English is the least consistent, in terms of its spelling‐to‐sound relationships, as well as the most morphologically sparse, compared to the other three. Two opposing hypotheses were formulated. If orthographic consistency modulated the use of morphology in reading, readers of English should show more robust morphological processing than readers of the other three languages, because morphological units increase the reliability of spelling‐to‐sound mappings in the English language. In contrast, if the use of morphology in reading depended on the morphological complexity of a language, readers of French, German, and Italian should process morphological units in printed letter strings more efficiently than readers of English. Both developing and skilled readers of English showed greater morphological processing than readers of the other three languages. These results support the idea that the orthographic consistency of a language, rather than its morphological complexity, influences the extent to which morphology is used during reading. We explain our findings within the remit of extant theories of reading acquisition and outline their theoretical and educational implications."],["dc.description.abstract","Developing readers of four alphabetic orthographies (i.e. English, French, German, Italian) read aloud morphologically structured and non‐morphologically structured nonwords.

Here we tested this prediction applying an unsupervised vector space model-based sentiment analysis tool called SentiArt (Jacobs, 2019) to two CYL corpora, one in English (372 books) and one in German (500 books). Pitching our analysis at the sentence level, and assessing semantic as well as lexico-grammatical information, both corpora show the Pollyanna effect and thus add further evidence to the universality hypothesis. The results of our multivariate sentiment analyses provide interesting testable predictions for future scientific studies of literature."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.3389/fpsyg.2020.574746"],["dc.identifier.eissn","1664-1078"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/83967"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI Import GROB-399"],["dc.publisher","Frontiers Media S.A."],["dc.relation.eissn","1664-1078"],["dc.rights","http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"],["dc.rights.uri","http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"],["dc.title","Sentiment Analysis of Children and Youth Literature: Is There a Pollyanna Effect?"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
