Abstract:

The early modern period is a key historical era for the standardisation of
languages in Europe, in which orthographies played an important role. This
book traces the development of European spelling systems in the early modern
era, and is unique in bringing together several strands of historical
research, across a diverse range of Germanic, Romance and Slavic languages,
including Polish, German, French, Spanish, Lithuanian, Czech, Croatian and
English. Whilst each chapter includes a case study on a particular language or
script, the volume in general follows a broad thread of discussion based on
models and methods relevant to many languages, showing how empirical
approaches can be applied across languages to enrich the field of historical
orthography as a whole. The first volume to diachronically explore the
standardization of spelling systems from a cross-linguistic perspective, this
is an invaluable resource for specialists and those interested in historical
European studies more broadly.

Condorelli
