Accessibly written, "Writing Systems: A Linguistic Approach"
provides detailed coverage of all major writing systems of
historical or structural significance with thorough discussion of
structure, history, and social context as well as important
theoretical issues. The book examines systems as diverse as
Chinese, Greek, and Maya and each writing system is presented in
the light of four major aspects of writing: history and
development; internal structure; the relationship of writing and
language; and sociolinguistic factors.
The volume is extensively illustrated and the glossary of
technical terms, exercises, and further reading suggestions that
accompany each chapter make "Writing Systems "a valuable resource
for students in linguistics and anthropology.
