V originále

The proposed research aims to investigate the relation between second language learning (especially the writing system), culture and cognition. We aim to investigate the possible influence of learning a character-based writing system on the cognitive style of an individual. The hypothesis to test is whether learning a character-based writing system from East Asia will induce change in visual attention distribution of a Western learner, whose first language is based on a romanized writing system. We aim to recruit learners of the Chinese language from the Czech Republic (and its neighboring regions) as the subjects and will compare them with learners of a similar background learning another second language using a romanized writing system.
