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.
