Abstract:

The study of orthography (spelling and writing systems), and its
development over the history of language, is central to many areas of
linguistic enquiry, offering insight into syntactic and morphological
structures, phonology, typology, historical linguistics, literacy and
reading, and the social and cultural context of language use. With
contributions from a global team of scholars, this Handbook provides
the first comprehensive overview of this rapidly developing field,
tracing the development of historical orthography, with special
emphasis on the last and present centuries. Chapters are split into
five key thematic areas, with a focus throughout on the interplay
between theory and practice. It also explores the methods used in
studying historical orthography, and the principles involved in the
development of a spelling system. Providing a critical assessment of
the state of the art in the field, it is essential reading for anyone
with an interest in writing systems and historical linguistics.
