Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Ohio State University, 1986.

The effect upon selected eye movement parameters of manipulating the spacing between Chinese characters in a Chinese language reading passage was examined. Groups of native Chinese, beginning non-native (American) learners, and advanced non-native learners of Chinese read two versions of a beginning level Chinese language reading passage. One version was typeset normally, while the other was artificially typeset so as to reflect the grouping of individual characters or character combinations into word-units.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The effect upon selected eye movement parameters of manipulating the spacing between Chinese characters in a Chinese language reading passage was examined. Groups of native Chinese, beginning non-native (American) learners, and advanced non-native learners of Chinese read two versions of a beginning level Chinese language reading passage. One version was typeset normally, while the other was artificially typeset so as to reflect the grouping of individual characters or character combinations into word-units.
520 $a The differential spacing of the two textual versions did not seem to be disruptive to the native Chinese readers, possibly because the artificial spacing condition did not destroy or disguise the composition of the individual Chinese character. The advanced non-native group, however, fixated more frequently when reading the artificially spaced version. It is hypothesized that this group may have reached a level of familiarity with reading normally spaced Chinese texts that is disrupted by spacial manipulation; beginning non-natives, on the other hand, may have not as yet acquired a consistent strategy for reading Chinese as witnessed by the fact that their fixation frequency did not change significantly between spacing conditions.
520 $a In terms of reading development, the advanced non-natives demonstrated their greater proficiency over the beginning non-natives by fixating less frequently, making a smaller percentage of regressive fixations, and by achieving a higher reading rate. Qualitative differences in comprehension were also noted, but only achieved significance at the .08 level. More noteworthy, however, is the finding that the average fixation duration for the two non-native groups was not significantly different, thus highlighting an index that did not indicate development towards native-like behavior on the part of the advanced non-natives, and which may reflect the perceptual demands of Chinese orthography upon non-native learners in general.
520 $a The results of the study are discussed within the framework of reading models emphasizing the developing reader, and are compared with the findings of English language reading studies where the spacing between words was manipulated. Pedagogical implications, recommendations for further research, and limitations of the study are also discussed.
