Writing Systems: A Linguistic Approach Paperback

Henry Rogers

The author and publishers can be congratulated on an excellent work; if I were teaching a class on writing systems now, this would be my first choice as a textbook. --William Bright, review in Written Language and Literacy "This is an excellent comprehensive textbook for university courses on writing systems (grammatology), with enough preliminary remarks of a theoretical nature to enable the student to master the scripts from around the world, including cuneiform of various types, Semitic, Greek, Roman, etc. It is written in a clear style with a very good glossary and up-to-date bibliography." --Alan S. Kaye, California State University, Fullerton
