For the first time, quantitative methods are introduced into this area of research in a systematic way. The individual contributions give an overview about quantitative properties of symbols and of writing systems, introduce methods of analysis, study individual writing systems as used for different languages, set up an explanatory model of phenomena connected to script development/evolution, and give a perspective to a general theory of writing systems. 410 0$aQuantitative linguistics ;$vv. 63. 606 $aWriting$xMathematical models 606 $aMathematical linguistics 610 $acorpus linguistics. 610 $awriting systems. 615 0$aWriting$xMathematical models. 615 0$aMathematical linguistics. 676 $a411 701 $aAltmann$b Gabriel$0683189 701 $aFan$b Fengxiang$f1950-$01520018 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782800403321 996 $aAnalyses of script$93758455 997 $aUNINA
