Kwon M, Kim JS, Lee JH et al. Double dissociation of Hangul and Hanja reading in Korean patients with stroke. Eur Neurol 2005; 54:199-203.
Korean has an phonogram (Hangul) /ideogram (Hanja) reading system analagous to kana/kanji in Japanese. Unlike Japanese, the Korean system does not depend nearly as much on ideograms. Also in Japanese, the same ideogram can be read phonologically or according to its meaning, which is not the case in Korean. Authors report a double dissociation as one showed more impairment in Hanjul adn the other showed the opposite. Blogger note: does Korean offer a purer model for dissociation of phonologic and orthographic routes since ideograms cannot be read phonologically? Need to check with Korean contacts.
