Just one example.
"In English or German writing systems polysyllabic words show that type of symbolistic characteristic and, in a way, they are usually perceived abstractly through varied shapes of respective long text strings. On the contrary, with the Vietnamese monosyllabic writing system, readers have to, mentally, go through the process of, firstly, recognizing each one of those separately written syllables, making sense out of it individually, and only then, lastly, being able to comprehend meanings of the final mentally assembled words. "
Are the above analysis true? Of course it is.
Is the above analysis complete? No, it is not.
In a monosyllabic system, readers have to mentally go through the process of recognizing each one of the separately written syallables. However, in a polysyllabic system, the listeners have to mentally go through the process of chunking the polysyllables. For example, mental efforts must be spent to determine the expression "beautiful cowgirl" should be understood as "beautiful" "cowgirl" not "beau" "tifulcow" "girl" or "beuti" "fulcow" "girl" and etc.
The Chinese equivalent of chunking, at the sentence level, not the word level, can be demonstrated by the well known joke:
"下雨天留客天留我不留"
The guest meant to ask "下雨天,留客天,留我不留?"
The master chose to read it as "下雨天留客,天留我不留."
Imagine this kind of problem exists at the word level. It will be many times worse.
Native English speakers do not experience similar problems only because they have memorize, "beautiful" is the right combination of syllables and "beau" and "tiful" are the wrong kind of chunking.
