Writing Systems: Alphabetic vs. Logographic

This chapter discusses the different writing systems used in languages, particularly focusing on alphabetic and logographic systems. It explains how alphabetic systems, like English, use symbols to represent distinct speech sounds, while logographic systems, like Chinese, use symbols to represent whole words or concepts. The chapter also highlights the neurological differences between people with dyslexia in alphabetic systems and people with dyslexia in logographic systems.
