The early modern period is a key historical era for the
standardisation of languages in Europe, in which orthographies
played an important role. This book traces the development of
European spelling systems in the early modern era, and is unique in
bringing together several strands of historical research, across a
diverse range of Germanic, Romance and Slavic languages, including
Polish, German, French, Spanish, Lithuanian, Czech, Croatian and
English. Whilst each chapter includes a case study on a particular
language or script, the volume in general follows a broad thread of
discussion based on models and methods relevant to many languages,
showing how empirical approaches can be applied across languages to
enrich the field of historical orthography as a whole. The first
volume to diachronically explore the standardization of spelling
systems from a cross-linguistic perspective, this is an invaluable
resource for specialists and those interested in historical
European studies more broadly.
