This comprehensive volume adds to the expanding body of research on developmental dyslexia, delving into the diverse behavioral manifestations across different language system levels. It is structured into three sections, each exploring three key perspectives from which the effects of dyslexia on communication can be observed: neuropsychology, linguistics, and educators. Collectively, the chapters offer a insightful overview of how dyslexia influences various aspects of language, encompassing lexical and pragmatic abilities, and present data from both experimental and applied research. Additionally, they provide practical insights for the application of research-based data in innovative and traditional language teaching, strategies for remediation of reading dysfunctions, and teacher training. This book serves as a vital resource for researchers, students, foreign language teachers, and professionals engaged in the rehabilitation of linguistic performance dysfunctions in individuals with dyslexia.
