Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) This book builds on earlier projects about the origins and extinctions of script traditions throughout the world in an effort to address the fundamental questions of how and why writing systems change.

The Hidden Language of Graphic Signs: Cryptic Writing and Meaningful Marks
ISBN: 9781108840613 / Angielski / Twarda / 2021 / 330 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. A common belief is that systems of writing are committed to transparency and precise records of sound. The target is the language behind such marks.

But what if embellishments mattered deeply - if hidden writing, slow to produce, slow to read, played as enduring a role as more accessible graphs? What if meaningful marks did service alongside records of spoken language? This book, a compilation of essays by global authorities on these subjects, zeroes in on hidden writing and alternative...
