摘要
Phonemic awareness is the ability to notice and manipulate language sounds in their base form (phonemes). It is associated with emerging literacy skills and predictive of skilled reading. The aim of the present study was to investigate phonemic awareness in German and its association with speaking a German-origin, but predominantly unwritten language. We investigated speakers of Hunsruckisch, a Brazilian minority language predominantly used in its spoken form. Participants were literate Brazilian Portuguese speakers who spoke Hunsruckisch and German or Hunsruckisch only. The results show faster, more accurate performance in the phonemic awareness task among participants who spoke Hunsruckisch and German, relative to those who spoke Hunsruckisch only. Participants who spoke Hunsruckisch only were able to perform the phonemic awareness tasks, but having learned to read and write in German allowed for faster, more accurate performance, especially in relation to pseudowords.
