Coulmas' basic thesis is that writing systems are not a simple method for transcribing speech into text. Rather they are complex cultural systems which allow language to be approached in ways that speech doesn't provide for. This book is clearly written and has lots of examples. You'll have a much richer understanding of any writing system you encounter after reading this book. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

During its long history the problem of reducing language to writing, and conversely that of interpreting written signs as language, has found a variety of solutions which still exist in the form of different writing systems. Written by a leading expert, this new textbook provides an accessible introduction to the major writing systems of the world, from cuneiform to English spelling. Florian Coulmas presents detailed descriptions of the world's writing systems and explains their structural complexities as well as the intricate relationship between written and spoken language. The book also provides a clear and engaging account of the history of writing and its consequences for human thought and literate society. This illustrated textbook includes questions for discussion at the end of each chapter, and an up-to-date explanation of theoretical issues. Clearly organised and engagingly written, it is the ideal textbook for use on courses on writing systems. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
