Riassunto

Drawing on case studies around the world, this book develops a formal computational theory of writing systems and relates it to psycholinguistic results. Sprout then proposes a taxonomy of writing systems. The book will be of interest to students and researchers in theoretical and computational linguistics, psycholinguistics and speech technology.
