	kairatos editions Αντώνης Θωμ. Βασιλάκης. Linear A, Linear B.
		Linear A, Linear B. At first, the Minoans were using a kind of writing which was similar to the hieroglyphics of Egypt.
		Linear writing was invented, because they wanted to have the linear representation of the object and not its image.
		We understood the way of writing the Greek hieroglyphics, Linear A and Linear B, when the Greek newspaper “Kyriakatiki Kathimerini” published an article, which included the text and the translation of the hieroglyphic inscription that is on the smaller ring of the two rings from the Aedonia treasure.

	Greek - Keyboard Map for Linear B Font
		Linear B was deciphered by Michael Ventris in 1952, and shown to be used for writing a very early form of Greek.
		Linear B evidently represents a borrowing from the Minoan civilization of Crete, which was written in a syllabary called Linear A. The Minoan language is unknown and the Linear A inscriptions untranslated, although there is enough similarity between Linear A and Linear B that some of the syllabic values can be inferred.
		Linear B does not appear until after the collapse of Minoan civilization following the catastrophic eruption of the volcanic island Thera, and it was used primarily for lists of goods.

	Linear B syllabary - the ancient script of Crete
		He realised that the inscriptions represented three different writing systems: a 'hieroglyphic' script, Linear A and Linear B. The hieroglphic script appears only on seal stones and has yet to be deciphered.
		Linear A, also undeciphered, is thought to have evolved from the hieroglyphic script, and Linear B probably evolved from Linear A, though the relationship between the two scripts is unclear.
		Evans also discovered a number of parallels between the Cypriot script, which had been deciphered, and Linear B. This indicated that the language represented by Linear B was an ancient form of Greek, but he wasn't prepared to accept this, being convinced that Linear B was used to write Minoan, a language unrelated to Greek.

	Linear writing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Linear writing is writing which uses symbols made up out of lines.
		The term linear writing is used to characterize a particular writing system and to distinguish it from non-linear writing, which is not made up of lines.
		The first examples of structured linear writing have been found in the lower Danube Valley and date from around 5000 BC.

	Ancient Scripts: Linear A
		The oldest example of writing in Crete is a kind of "hieroglyphic" (which means that the signs are picture-like) script.
		However, Linear A has resisted all attempts at decipherment because its underlying language is still unknown and probably will remain obscure since it doesn't seem to relate to any other surviving language in Europe or Western Asia.
		Linear B and Cypriot both exhibit considerable similarity to Linear A. Because of its time depth, Linear A appears to be the immediate ancestor to both of these writing systems.

	More on Writing Systems
		The first writing system was cuneiform, which emerged among the Sumerians towards the end of the 4th millennium BC; however it was followed closely by the appearance of writing in Egypt and the Indus valley, and since then writing has appeared independently a number of times, associated with various civilizations.
		To write English using a syllabary, every possible syllable in English would have to have a separate symbol, and whereas the number of possible syllables in Japanese is no more than one-hundred or so, in English there are many thousands.
		As languages often evolve independently of their writing systems, and writing systems have been borrowed for languages they were not designed for, the degree to which letters of an alphabet correspond to phonemes of a language varies greatly from one language to another and even within a single language.

		Six linear signs, three of which are without parallel (hapax legomena) in known Linear Elamite writing, are engraved on the rim of a vase (S) from Shahdad (Šahdâd) in Kermân (Hinz, 1971).
		Linear Elamite is now generally considered to be unrelated to cuneiform writing in the morphology of the signs.

	Linear B Language - Crystalinks (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Linear B is the name given to a writing system discovered by the archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans (1851-1941) at Knossos on Crete in 1900.
		He realised that three different writing systems were used in ancient Crete: a 'hieroglyphic' script, Linear A, and Linear B. The hieroglphic script appears only on seal stones and has yet to be deciphered.
		Linear A, also undeciphered, is thought to have evolved from the hieroglyphic script and was used until the 15th Century BC.

	Scritture nella Grecia preclassica (eng), by M.Imperiali
		Of this type of writing (recorded mostly on clay tablets) little elements exist and what remains is still to be deciphered.
		Then there are tablets in syllabic writing (that is: one syllable = one sign) called Linear A, used, but not exclusively, during the cretan thalassocracy until the mycenaean take-over of 1450 b.C..
		Linear B writing,after many years of search by various scholars, has been definitively " deciphered " in 1952 by M.Ventris and J.Chadwick as an archaic form of Greek.It is that one that has left the most numerous traces and was practically diffused in all the area of the Micenaeans.

		Sommers noted that linear models of the writing process mimic speech models, thereby overlooking the recursive shaping of thought by language, and concludes that experienced writers are recursive.
		This is the demarcation between a linear process and a recursive one: transcribing therefore corresponds to a linear process while composing corresponds to a recursive one.

	Athena Review, 3,3: Minoan Crete: Bronze Age Writing on Crete: Hieroglyphs, Linear A, and Linear B
		Linear A usage seems to have terminated somewhat abruptly towards the end of the LMIB period, with the final palatial destructions on Crete.
		Linear B: Used at Knossos and Khania in Late Minoan times when Crete was occupied by Mycenaeans from the Greek mainland, Linear B (fig.4) evolved directly from the Minoan Linear A, whose characters the Mycenaeans then adapted to their own language.
		Linear B was successfully deciphered in the 1950s by Michael Ventris (Chadwick 1958; 1989), who recognized it as a syllabic writing system used for an early form of Greek spoken by Mycenaeans.

	Writing Center - Faculty Resources
		The writing context requires writers to have a sense of the reader's expectations and an awareness of appropriate conventions for a particular piece of writing.
		We value writing because it reveals the personal choices a writer has made and thereby reveals something of her habits of mind, her ability to connect and therefore shape ideas, and her ability to transform or change us as readers.
		While we don't think of writing as technology, it is just that; it is a means to remove and fix a person's ideas in another place, a place that is treated with standards and a sense of objectivity.

		When looking at the author experience of writing in the hypertext realm, writing, in addition to the process of reading, is being refashioned through the technical as well as the aesthetic designs of the hypertext medium.
		Writing can often be viewed as process which seemingly occurs on its own.
		Conversely, the structure of a linear argument seems to follow the authority of one voice and one particular position.

	Meridian Article: Children's Literacy Perceptions as They Authored with Hypermedia
		Writing conventions utilized by the children included traditional conventions and non-linear writing conventions that utilized symbols and signs.
		According to these researchers, this term suggests that a computer provides a zone of proximal development for reading and writing that leaves the learner with socially constructed knowledge that is carried off into other forms of reading and writing away from the computer.
		Given this notion of nonlinear text, it is appropriate to think about how this nonlinear form of reading and writing may shape children's perceptions of their own writing development with regard to literacy and technology.

		In the business world, many (especially writers) say that Web content has not been given the precedence it deserves—while at the same time studies are conducted to see how a surfer's eyes glance through a page, discovering what she reads and how much.
		Of course, there are no quality controls—marginal writing is linked alongside stellar writing—making the medium at once more formal than the spoken word and more informal than the printed word.
		Perhaps our generation believes in the primacy of the linear story because our psyches are too adult to warm to the scattering of hypertext at this late date.

		John Chadwick's book on Linear B and related scripts (part of the 'Reading the Past' series put out by the British Museum in cooperation with the University of California Press) is an excellent primer to the subject of this ancient language.
		The deciphering of Linear B is a relatively recent enterprise, coming to fruition really in the middle of the twentieth century.

	johnaugust.com » Linear writing for non-linear films (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		If you're planning to write a story that will ultimately unfold in a non-linear way, such as GO or MEMENTO, it's a good idea to make a second outline of the story as it happens in "real time," to make sure the logic tracks.
		In fact, this kind of outline is helpful with any kind of story, because even if a script moves forward scene by scene, inevitably characters will refer to things that happened "earlier," and it's important to make sure all these events could have happened in the sequence you propose.
		I am about to write a 5000 word paper on this subject because I think non linear films mostly command attention because they make the audience have to engage fully with the narrative, but also make them aware of the relationship between form and content.

	Cretan Writing (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		This system of writing developed on the island of Crete and in continental Greece in the Bronze Age.
		The Linear A script was a basis for the development of the Linear B writing, which emerged here on Crete in about 1450 BC and soon spread to continental Greece, where in Pylos and Mycenae large archives of Linear B documents were excavated.
		Since it was borrowed from non-Indo-Europeans, Linear B was not convenient for the Greek language, it did not reflect many important phonetic features of the tongue, and could not, for example, end a word in -s or any other consonant.

		Although value as a standard of judgment of good writing in cyberspace is one answer to a complex question, its application is controversial.
		In online writing, issues of design and navigability cannot be separated from a consideration of audience related issues because it is the responsibility of the online writer to provide material that is easy for his or her audience to locate, navigate through, and follow.
		CMC and all writing in cyberspace includes many literate characteristics because cyberspace is a product of technology, is print-based and depends on a grounding in abstract, analytical and literate modes of thought.
