פרופ' דורית רביד

"To be “linguistically literate” means to possess a linguistic repertoire that encompasses a wide range of registers and genres. Once literacy is part of an individual’s cognitive system, it interacts with other components of linguistic knowledge to shape the emergence of its key property… rhetorical flexibility " (Ravid & Tolchinsky, 2002)

Professor Dorit Ravid is a linguist and psycholinguist working on first language acquisition and the development of linguistic literacy at the School of Education and the Department of Communications Disorders, Tel Aviv University.
