On the Anglocentricities of current reading research and practice: the perils of overreliance on an "outlier" orthography. (2008, background): “In Dutch, an orthography characterized by intermediate transparency (Borgwaldt et al., 2005; Bosman, de Graaff, & Gijsel, 2006), de Jong and van der Leij (1999, 2002) found that phonemic awareness–reading correlations declined after the end of Grade 1.”
Cognitive Development of Fluent Word Reading Does Not Qualitatively Differ Between Transparent and Opaque Orthographies (2010, methodology): “The degree of orthographic consistency was estimated by using script entropy computations for the initial letter–speech sound mapping in each language (Borgwaldt et al., 2005; Treiman, Berch, Tincoff, & Weatherson, 1993).”
Orthographic Depth and Its Impact on Universal Predictors of Reading (2010, methodology): “The entropy values for Hungarian, Dutch, Portuguese, French, and English were taken from Borgwaldt et al. (2005). The values for Finnish were calculated using a Finnish text corpus.”
Effectiveness of spelling interventions for learners with dyslexia: A meta-analysis and systematic review (2020, methodology): “The closest to an objective metric that can be applied to different alphabetic orthographies is onset entropy (Borgwaldt et al., 2004, 2005).”
Prevalence and Reliability of Phonological, Surface, and Mixed Profiles in Dyslexia: A Review of Studies Conducted in Languages Varying in Orthographic Depth (2011, background): “Indeed, grapheme–phoneme mappings are less consistent in English than in French and less consistent in French than in Spanish (for descriptive and/or quantitative indicators of the consistency of these orthographies, see Borgwaldt, Hellwig, & de Groot, 2005 ; Peereman & Content, 1998 ; Peereman, ”
