IMPLICATIONS: AN IDEAL SCRIPT?; REFERENCES; GENERAL INDEXThis study investigates the properties of several ancient syllabic and linear segmental scripts to make explicit the aspects of linguistic knowledge they attempt to represent. Some recent experimental work suggests that nonliterate speakers do not have segmental knowledge and that only syllabic knowledge is 'real' or accessible, whence the ubiquity of syllabaries. Miller disputes this by showing that such tests do not distinguish relevant types of knowledge, and that linguistic analysis of the ordering and writing conventions of early Western scripts corroborates the evidence from language acqAmsterdam studies in the theory and history of linguistic science.Series IV,Current issues in linguistic theory ;v. 116.Grammar, Comparative and generalPhonologyInscriptions, Linear BCypriot syllabaryAlphabetLanguage awarenessGrammar, Comparative and generalPhonology.Inscriptions, Linear B.Cypriot syllabary.Alphabet.Language awareness.414Miller D.
