This book develops a formal computational theory of writing
systems. It offers specific proposals about the linguistic objects
that are represented by orthographic elements; what levels of
linguistic representation are involved and how they may differ
across writing systems; and what formal constraints hold of the
mapping relation between linguistic and orthographic elements.
Based on the insights gained, Sproat then proposes a taxonomy of
writing systems. The treatment of theoretical linguistic issues and
their computational implementation is complemented with discussion
of empirical psycholinguistic work on reading and its relevance for
the computational model developed here. Throughout, the model is
illustrated with a number of detailed case studies of writing
systems around the world. This book will be of interest to students
and researchers in a variety of fields, including theoretical and
computational linguistics, the psycholinguistics of reading and
writing, and speech technology.
