Para uma melhor identificação da dislexia e da disortografia

Abstract

It is often with very little exactness that the term «dislexia» is applied to certain children which have reading (and writing) «problems»: this article will attempt to identify the cases of dislexia. After having discussed the various types of aquisitional and development dislexia, a number of texts by dislexics are analised together with their degree of dislexia and disorthography (based upon those pathological errors made). Furthermore, usage errors are indicated: these are often erroniously analised as though they were pathological.
