The Routledge Handbook of the English Writing System provides a
comprehensive account of the English writing system, both in its
current iteration and highlighting the developing trends that will
influence its future. Twenty-nine chapters written by specialists
from around the world cover core linguistic and psychological
aspects, and also include areas from other disciplines such as
typography and computer-mediated communication. Divided into five
parts, the volume encompasses a wide range of approaches and
addresses issues in the following areas: theory and the English
writing system, discussing the effects of etymology and phonology;
the history of the English writing system from its earliest
development, including spelling, pronunciation and typography; the
acquisition and teaching of writing, with discussions of literacy
issues and dyslexia; English writing in use around the world, both
in the UK and America, and also across Europe and Japan;
computer-mediated communication and developments in writing online
and on social media. The Routledge Handbook of the English Writing
System is essential reading for researchers and postgraduate
students working in this area.
