This refers to how we convert text to sound. According to a report in 1980 by S Hunnicut there are 357 rules we apply to decode text. Eg we know 'ing' says 'ing' and not 'i', 'n', 'g' as in 3 separate sounds. We learn the rules of how each letter and string of letters sound in order to make a word, we then check the context of the word in order to produce the 'correct' sound. The sounds of words vary according to regional accents but the meaning - given the same spelling - is the same.
