Abstract:

Historical orthography – the study of how writing systems have changed
over time – is a rapidly growing area of historical linguistics. This
book provides the first comprehensive introduction to this exciting
focus of research. Written in an engaging and accessible way, it
surveys the purposes and methods of this field, and how it has
developed as a discipline over time. The volume also discusses the
various levels of analysis that historical orthography can carry out,
as well as key historical orthographic processes, such as
standardization and language change. It covers a range of non-western
and western languages, including English, in order to discuss the
breadth of typological issues that can arise in the documentation of
writing systems. The book also establishes links between orthography
and  a range of other related disciplines, a quality which makes it an
essential resource for advanced students of orthography and writing
systems, and historical linguistics.

Linguistic Field(s): Historical Linguistics
