Abstract:

This volume inaugurates the new series LautSchriftSprache - ScriptandSound,
grounded by Paola Cotticelli-Kurras (University of Verona, Italy) and Gaby
Waxenberger (University of Munich, Germany). It deals with writing systems
ranging chronologically from the cuneiform of the II millennium B.C. to
present day alphabets, and geographically from the Middle-East and the
Caucasus to the continental Europe and the Mediterranean Area. Graphemics is
the inspiring research object of this new series and of this volume in
particular as a multidisciplinary approach connecting philology, language
history, language policies, epigraphy, semiotics, and the new emerging
computational disciplines. While not an independent subject, graphemics
deserves its own space among the many scientific approaches to language and
culture. Historical graphemics is the special topic of the present volume, and
describes both common and independent structures of writing systems, which
represent cultural products, local knowledge stemming out from many traditions
throughout time and space. LSS 1 topics include metalinguistic terminologies
and concepts, and also the research issue of the language contact from the
perspective of writing (systems) at all levels. (Dr Ludwig Reichert Verlag
