Summary
It is probably a stretch to say that dyslexia was made for the English language. However, there is a special suitability for a discussion of dyslexia to center on English as the paradigm case. For one thing, the history of reading disability, or dyslexia, is populated by English-language papers from medicine, psychology, and education. Of course, the Germans deserve credit too. Adolf Kussmaul, a German physician, is credited with the earliest (1878) observations on an adult patient with impaired reading (acquired dyslexia), and Rudolf Berlin may have been the first to use the word “dyslexia” in an 1887 book Eine Besondere Art der Wortblindheit (dyslexie) [A Special Type of Word Blindness (Dyslexia)]. The English-language reports of dyslexia began shortly after with the 1896 publication by W. Pringle Morgan, an English physician in the British Journal of Medicine and then the ophthalmologist Hinshelwood (1917), both of whom referred to “word blindness.”
