"...the volume is a tour de force of contemporary cognitively oriented research in Chinese reading. As such, it is necessary reading for the researcher contemplating any research project that involves Chinese written representations. It not only provides clear positions and evidence for each side of these debates, but it also provides a full range of perspectives on how, exactly, Chinese reading and Chinese characters are to be defined."—Contemporary Psychology
