This open access volume reveals the hidden power of the script we read in and how it shapes and drives our minds, ways of thinking, and cultures. Expanding on the Linguistic Relativity Hypothesis (i.e., the idea that language affects the way we think), this volume proposes the “Script Relativity Hypothesis” (i.e., the idea that the script in which we read affects the way we think) by offering a unique perspective on the effect of script (alphabets, morphosyllabaries, or multi-scripts) on our attention, perception, and problem-solving. Once we become literate, fundamental changes occur in our brain circuitry to accommodate the new demand for resources. The powerful effects of literacy have been demonstrated by research on literate versus illiterate individuals, as well as cross-scriptal transfer, indicating that literate brain networks function differently, depending on the script being read. This book identifies the locus of differences between the Chinese, Japanese, and Koreans, and between the East and the West, as the neural underpinnings of literacy. To support the “Script Relativity Hypothesis”, it reviews a vast corpus of empirical studies, including anthropological accounts of human civilization, social psychology, cognitive psychology, neuropsychology, applied linguistics, second language studies, and cross-cultural communication. It also discusses the impact of reading from screens in the digital age, as well as the impact of bi-script or multi-script use, which is a growing trend around the globe. As a result, our minds, ways of thinking, and cultures are now growing closer together, not farther apart.

First published in 1970, The Origin and Development of the Bengali Language (Vol. 1) is the first systematic and detailed history of a Modern Indo-Aryan Language written by an Indian, and incidentally, as it is comparative in its treatment, taking into consideration facts in other Indo-Aryan speeches, it is an invaluable contribution to the scientific study of the Modern Indo-Aryan languages as a whole. This book will be of interest to students of language, linguistics and South Asian studies.

The Arabic script in Africa contains sixteen papers on the past and present use of Arabic script to write African languages. These writing traditions, which are sometimes collectively referred to as Ajami, are discussed for single or multiple languages, with examples from all major linguistic phyla of Africa but one (Khoisan), and from all geographic areas of Africa (North, West, Central, East, and South Africa), as well as a paper on the Ajami heritage in the Americas. The papers analyze (ethno-) historical, literary, (socio-) linguistic, and in particular grammatological aspects of these previously understudied writing traditions and exemplify their range and scope, providing new data for the comparative study of writing systems, literacy in Africa, and the history of (Islam in) Africa.

Professor Buhler`S Indische Palaeographie, Consisting Of 96 Pages With 9 Plates Of Alphabetical Characters And Numerals And 8 Tables Of Explanatory Transliteration Of Them, Was Originally Published In 1896. An English Version Of This Was Prepared By Professor Buhler Himself; The Manuscript Was On Its Way To The Press At The Time Of His Death. J.F. Fleet, With Great Difficulties, Recovered The Ms. And Got It Printed In Indian Antiquary. 1904, In The Form Of An Appendix. But It Was The Text Without The Plates And Tables. And That Had Been The Only Form In Which It Has So Far Been Available To Our Students And Scholars. It Is A Matter Of Great Satisfaction That For The First Time The Complete English Version Of Buhler`S Monumental Work, Along With The Plates And Tables, In Its Proper Book-Form Is Published. Page-References Of The German Original Are Indicated In Square Brackets Along With Fleet`S Valuable Introduction To The Text.
