Linguistic Field(s): Sociolinguistics; Writing Systems

Meeting Description:

At this conference, representatives of very different philological
disciplines – from antiquity to modern times, from Africa through
Europe to East Asia – will gather their expertise about
sociolinguistic situations with two (or more) scripts for one
language. The aim is to make generalizations about the social factors
influencing script choice on the basis of a classification of such
situations.
