Abstract
Scholars from many disciplines are involved in studying reading. These include, but are not limited to psychologists, linguists, literary critics, psycholinguists, sociolinguists, semioticians, anthropologists, ethnographers, neurolinguists, educational researchers, curriculum workers, and those who study reading development and the teaching of reading. Except for occasional collaborations, each field has tended to work on its own, using its own methodologies and asking questions significant within the discipline. Sometimes attempting to bring these diverse vantage points together is like trying to construct an elephant from the descriptions of the blind men of Hindustan of their personal encounters with different portions of the elephant.
