Abstract
Like most human productions, language is the product of cultural evolution, and as such exhibits high levels of complexity. A natural representation of language is written text, an expression of language by letters or other marks. Preceded by proto-writing systems of ideographic and/or early mnemonic symbols, so-called 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, characterizes human evolution since 3200 BC.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
