In this distinguished collection the deeper cognitive aspects of
writing systems are for the first time added to the perceptual and
physiological dimensions and brought into a coherent whole. The
result is a multifaceted understanding of alphabets and other
scripts in which none of the major factors that shape those
systems, and thus distinctively reveal attributes of the human
mind, are slighted. The systems through which language is realized
on the page are compared in nature and complexity with those
through which language is realized as sound, and are seen in their
true perspective. Long the object of intensive inquiry, the process
of change in phonological systems is now joined to the evolution of
graphological systems, and new light is cast on the nature of the
relevant human cognitive processes in their diversity and
underlying unity. The authors, each eminently qualified in his or
her field, are drawn from Europe, Asia, and North and South
America.
