Abstract:

Serbs write their language in Cyrillic or Latin letters in seemingly random
distribution. Hindi-Urdu is written in Nagari by Hindus and in the Arabic
script by Muslims. In medieval Scandinavia the Latin alphabet, ink and
parchment were used for texts 'for eternity', whereas ephemeral messages were
carved into wood in runes. The Occitan language has two competing
orthographies. German texts were set either in blackletter or in roman type
between 1749 and 1941. In Ancient Egypt the distribution of hieroglyphs,
hieratic and demotic was much more complex than commonly assumed. Chinese is
written with traditional and simplified characters in different countries.

This collective monograph, which includes contributions from eleven
specialists in different philological areas, for the first time develops a
coherent typological model on the basis of sociolinguistic and graphematic
criteria to describe and classify these and many other linguistic situations
in which two or more writing systems are used simultaneously for one and the
same language.
