The World's Writing Systems PDF
By:Peter T. Daniels
Published on 1996 by Oxford University Press on Demand
Ranging from cuneiform to shorthand, from archaic Greek to contemporary Chinese, from Old Persian to modern Cherokee, this unusually comprehensive reference offers a detailed exploration of the history and typology of the world's scripts, from ancient times to the present. More than eighty articles by scholars from over a dozen countries explain and document how a vast array of writing systems work--how alphabets, ideograms, pictographs, and hieroglyphics convey meaning in graphic form. Each writing system is illustrated by a passage of text, and accompanied by a romanized version, a phonetic transcription, and a modern English translation. The only available work in English to cover every major writing system, this is a reference that no linguist or philologist will want to be without.
