Abstract
While language contacts are a classic topic in linguistics, less attention is paid to writing contacts, both because of the many skills (linguistic, palaeographical, ethno-anthropological) required of those studying them and because of an approach that interprets writing as ancillary to language. Hence the challenge of this volume: to bring together linguists from different fields with the twofold aim of offering a broad selection of the different forms of contact between languages and between scripts and, through comparison, to highlight the elements common to situations that are distant in time and space.
