Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the origins of writing and the development of hieroglyphics. The author argues that writing began with drawings and images of objects, then evolved into metaphorical representation, and finally into arbitrary symbols. The book explores the nature of these different writing systems by providing an in-depth analysis of their structures and functions. The author provides numerous examples from ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics and Chinese writing, argues that these systems are not as advanced as previously thought, and that they lack many of the features of a true alphabet. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of writing, ancient civilizations, or the nature of human communication. Its insights challenge our understanding of the origins and evolution of writing, and provide a fresh perspective on the development of human language and thought. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330398913_0
