The study of orthography (spelling and writing systems), and its
development over the history of language, is central to many areas
of linguistic enquiry, offering insight into syntactic and
morphological structures, phonology, typology, historical
linguistics, literacy and reading, and the social and cultural
context of language use. With contributions from a global team of
scholars, this Handbook provides the first comprehensive overview
of this rapidly developing field, tracing the development of
historical orthography, with special emphasis on the last and
present centuries. Chapters are split into five key thematic areas,
with a focus throughout on the interplay between theory and
practice. It also explores the methods used in studying historical
orthography, and the principles involved in the development of a
spelling system. Providing a critical assessment of the state of
the art in the field, it is essential reading for anyone with an
interest in writing systems and historical linguistics.
