The Writing Systems of the World - The Language Library
Coulmas, Florian (Gerhard-Mercator-Universitaet Duisburg)
This book is an account of the writing systems of the world from earliest times to the present. Its aim is to explore the complex ways in which writing systems relate to the language they depict. Writing, Coulmas contends, is not only the guide or garment of spoken language, but has a deep and lasting effect on the development of language itself.
