The cultures of the world have chosen different ways to make spoken
language visible and permanent. The original edition of Writing
Systems represented the first time that modern linguistic
principles were brought to bear on a study of this. Now this new
edition brings the story up to date; it incorporates topics which
have emerged since the first edition (such as electronic techniques
for encoding the world's scripts), together with new findings about
established topics, including the ultimate historical origin of our
alphabet. Featuring a series of detailed case studies of scripts of
diverse types, and giving due attention to the psychology of
reading and learning to read, the book is written so as to be
accessible to those with no prior knowledge of any writing systems
other than our own.
