Good book.By Garrison56Good book for those interested in languages and writing systems.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. No complaints, but not spectacularBy Joey StanleyRecently, I realized the gaping hole of writing systems in my linguistics education. Since I'm no longer a student, I had to resort to a public library, where I found this. I found it to be enjoyable. The book was well-organized into four parts, and each chapter seemed to be well outlined. There are probably better, newer books on writing systems out there, but I have no complaints about what I got from this one. 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. His study takes in Egyptian hieroglyphics and the cuneiform system of the ancient Near East; he describes Chinese writing, discussing why an apparently cumbersome system has been used continuously for more than 3,000 years; he ranges across the writing systems of western Asia and the Middle East, the Indian families and the various alphabetic traditions which had its origins in the multifarious world of Semitic writing and came to full bloom in pre-Classical Greece.
