Original Title: Language Log: Those obstinant n´s
Becky Treiman´s research seems to go the othe direction, as far as beginning spellers are concerned. Young children would often omit the medial nasal in spelling, something like /bank/ -> /bak/. Why would adults do the opposite? Just because they, for the same reason, weren´t sure whether […]
