Meaning, Morphemes and Literacy takes a retrospective look at the research that led to the establishment and continued success of the Maple Hayes Dyslexia School and Research Centre in Staffordshire, England. Even today, Maple Hayes is the only school in the world that takes an integrated morphological approach to literacy acquisition.
The book details the theoretical underpinning of the morphological school of thought, along with its application in a range of learning environments, developing the system beyond mere morphology and into an overall theory of language in terms of semantic primes. In this Darwin bicentenary year, Neville Brown also presents his intriguing, original thoughts on the evolution of language.
A challenging and intriguing discourse, the book represents an invaluable addition to the library of anyone interested in the vitally important topic of literacy, and will appeal in particular to educationalists in the fields of linguistics, psychology, psycholinguistics, dyslexia and neuropsychology.
