Chapter: Morphemes and Morphograms

DOI: 10.1558/equinox.30867

Blurb:

The sixth chapter deals with the three oldest writing systems on earth, the three that appear to have arisen spontaneously and not by imitation or adoption of any preexisting script. Their characteristics are important for the author's view of how writing originally came about—but presentation of that view is withheld until Chapter 11.
