What should we call the study of writing systems?

[edit]

(In a perfect world, I would post this here first, but the livelier WikiProject gets to host.)

Please take a gander at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Linguistics#What should we call the study of writing systems? and help me out with this question. Seems important! Remsense 09:02, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If no one has outstanding objections, once I've finished a self-standing draft my plan is to
  1. Make Grapholinguistics the top-level article, incorporating content from Graphemics and Grammatology
  2. In line with Meletis & Dürscheid (2022), move GraphemicsGraphematics
  3. Redirect GraphemicsGrapholinguistics
  4. Redirect GrammatologyGrapholinguistics § Derrida and grammatology (or equivalent)

I still crave others' input (of course), but as I've continued to survey the recent literature I think the best plan is to have Grapholinguistics as the top-level field, with Graphemics adjusted in scope as to be roughly analogous to the scope of phonology within the study of speech) is the best reflection of the field. I've started a draft article, and of course I invite people to contribute if they fancy. Remsense 12:47, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
