*the history of writing traces the development of expressing ‘language’ by ‘letters’ or other ‘marks’ and also the ‘study’ + ‘description’ of these ‘developments’*
.
(in the history of how systems of representation of language through graphic means have evolved in different human civilizations, more complete writing systems were preceded by proto-writing, systems of ideographic or early mnemonic symbols)
(“true writing”, in which the content of a linguistic utterance is encoded so that another reader can reconstruct, with a fair degree of accuracy, the exact utterance written down is a later development)
(it is distinguished from “proto-writing” which typically avoids encoding grammatical words and affixes, making it more difficult or impossible to reconstruct the exact meaning intended by the writer unless a great deal of context is already known in advance)
(one of the earliest forms of written expression is “cuneiform”)
