English is increasingly becoming the world's lingua franca. If we
are not native speakers of one of the many varieties of English,
then we may be students of English, or use English regularly for
academic or business purposes. The English Language series, which
is international in focus, aims to synthesize the wealth of
existing linguistic research both on and in English. Each volume in
the series is designed to present these findings in an accessible,
enlightening and entertaining way not only to students of English
linguistics but to learners and users of English across the globe.
The English Writing System describes how writing is not simply
ancillary to other aspects of language but vitally important to
almost everything we do, from signing our wills to sending a text
message. This book discusses the mechanics of the writing systems
of English; the different ways people process words on a page and
the mistakes they can make; how children and second language
learners acquire these systems; the historical development of the
language and the progress of writing technology: in short, the
effectiveness of the writing systems of English. Combining an
academic perspective from linguistics and psychology with insights
into everyday spelling mistakes, The English Writing System will
interest students and teachers of linguistics, literature, the
English language, psychology and education.
