This handbook marks the transformation of the topic of literacy
from the narrower concerns with learning to read and write to an
interdisciplinary enquiry into the various roles of writing and
reading in the full range of social and psychological functions in
both modern and developing societies. It does so by exploring the
nature and development of writing systems, the relations between
speech and writing, the history of the social uses of writing, the
evolution of conventions of reading, the social and developmental
dimensions of acquiring literate competencies, and, more generally,
the conceptual and cognitive dimensions of literacy as a set of
social practices. Contributors to the volume are leading scholars
drawn from such disciplines as linguistics, literature, history,
anthropology, psychology, the neurosciences, cultural psychology,
and education.
