| Summary English an alphabetic language differs significantly from Chinese a logographic system. The two systems differ greatly in what constitutes a basic written unit. The written English symbol possesses distinctive phonetic features while the written Chinese symbol preserves visual features (Gu 2000). The purposes of this research were to study the identification of Chinese words the identification of English words and to compare the two identification processes. The variables in studying English words included frequency and letter count (word |
| great differences between the identification of Chinese and English words. In the identification of Chinese words the role of stroke count is not clear. Also lexical knowledge may play a role in the identification of two-character words. As to the identification of English words letter count (word length) is a very important visual feature involved in the identification process.
