Cascading interactive activation between phonemes and letters in the Serbian writing system - a language with two scripts (Poster)

Abstract. How do cascades of activation flow between letters and phonemes in a language with two discrete, but partially overlapping scripts? In the two scripts of the Serbian writing system (Cyrillic, Latin), both letters and phonemes can be strictly bivalent. Serbian speakers rapidly decided whether picture names began with subsequently presented letters.
