Linguistic Field(s): Writing Systems 

Meeting Description: 

The purpose of this workshop is to bring together researchers with a variety of
backgrounds including archaeology/epigraphy, comparative history, Indology and
computational linguistics, with a common interest in scripts and writing
systems. We want to address the following questions, with reference to concrete
examples:

How do you know when you have a writing system?
How do you know when you have a decipherment? 

The titles and abstracts for the Workshop on Scripts, Non-Scripts and
(Pseudo)decipherment to be held July 11, 2007 at Stanford is now available at:
