摘　　要：Cognitive neuropsychology has made great contributions to our understanding of tile neural basis of language since Broca＇s seminal work; the primary neural circuitries for language processing have been documented. Unfortunately, these achievements were almost exclusively from studies on alphabetic languages. Recent behavioral and imaging studies suggest that the neural network involving processes of Chinese is not entirely identical to that in alphabetic languages. In the present study, reading performance in a dyslexic patient, whose native language is Chinese, was systematically examined by a series of cognitive neuropsychological experiments, and theoretical implications of this study was discussed in comparisons with studies in dyslexic patients who use alphabetic scripts.Cognitive neuropsychology has made great contributions to our understanding of tile neural basis of language since Broca＇s seminal work; the primary neural circuitries for language processing have been documented.
