| Definition |
A reading disorder characterized by semantic paralexias, and effects of word class, frequency and imagery. Nonword reading is severely impaired.
A reading disorder affecting both the lexical (whole-word) and non-lexical (reading by letter-to-sound correspondences) reading routes. Deep dyslexia is characterized by semantic paralexias (e.g. reading "liberty" for "freedom"), and effects of word class (content words read better than function words), frequency (high-frequency words read better than function words), and imagery (high-imagery words read better than low-imagery words). Nonword reading is severely impaired.

It will not, then, be legitimate to assume that all patients within a broad descriptive ´syndrome´ (e.g. surface dyslexia, etc.) will be homogeneous with respect to the microstructure of the processes underlying their performance. Consider deep dyslexia, a disorder with many reported ´exemplars´. Barry and Richardson (1988) discussed the many differences among deep dyslexic patients, in terms of both associated symptoms (such as levels of intact oral repetition) and characteristics more central to theoretical interpretations of semantically mediated reading (such as the relative rates of semantic and visual errors, awareness of semantic errors and lexical decision and comprehension performance with words that cannot be read).
