Writing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Writing may refer to two activities: the inscribing of characters on a medium, with the intention of forming words and other constructs that represent language or record information, and the creation of material to be conveyed through written language. 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. Writing systems, i.e., methods of inscription, can be broadly divided into four categories: logographic, syllabic, alphabetic, and featural. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/writing

Linear writing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 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. Linear writing is writing which uses symbols made up out of lines. The first examples of structured linear writing have been found in the lower Danube Valley and date from around 5000 BC. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Linear_writing

kairatos editions Áíôþíçò Èùì. ÂáóéëÜêçò. 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. 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. Linear writing was invented, because they wanted to have the linear representation of the object and not its image. www.kairatos.com.gr /linear1.htm

Meridian Article: Children's Literacy Perceptions as They Authored with Hypermedia Six of the eight focal children expressed that one could be a poor writer in class with linear writing and be an expert at the computer and literate as a result of being able to manipulate writing with nonlinear conventions. The nonlinear writing, according to the students, was more interesting because they could use the tools to shape their writing by adding buttons, backgrounds, graphics, text, sound, and the ease of editing to invest in changes. Web writing and school writing differed in two additional ways according to the dyads based on traditional linear writing notions: first, they suggested that with web writing in the lab they did not have to revise, they simply made changes as they wrote. www.ncsu.edu /meridian/win2002/513/4.html

Derrida/Cybernetics/Non-Linear Writing Linearity, writes Derrida, is a better rubric under which to crystallize our understanding of all writing, from pictorgram through hieroglyph to alphabet. Derrida already recognized cybernetics as the stage for this apocalyptic conflict between a Talmudical method of writing, the exfoliation of multi-plurality and a Sumerian-Greco-Christological technics of linear inscription, the imposition of the dominion of the line, of temporality, with the insistence on a unified truth originating from a Divine voice. This was a world of "mythograms" (citing Leroi-Gourhan), writing that opened up "pluri-vocality" and "pluri-dimensionality" and writing which was not enslaved to the logic of linear time or the irreversible linearity of sound. home.nycap.rr.com /porush/DaveWeb/HTML%20FIles/Derrida%26Cybernetics.html

Linear B Michael Ventris, a young English architect announced in 1952 that he had succeeded in deciphering Linear B and had proven that this old writing was archaic Greek. The 89 characters used in the writing had told Ventris that he was dealing with a syllabic script, most of the phonetic values were represented by one consonant and one vowel e.g. He identified 89 Linear B characters and established phonetic values for most of them, which was adequate to translate many of the tablets. www.islandnet.com /~edonon/linearb.htm

Athena Review, 3,3: Minoan Crete: Bronze Age Writing on Crete: Hieroglyphs, Linear A, and Linear B 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. 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 A usage seems to have terminated somewhat abruptly towards the end of the LMIB period, with the final palatial destructions on Crete. www.athenapub.com /11mnwrit.htm

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. www.omniglot.com /writing/linearb.htm

Young Writer's Workshop: Lesson on Writing an Argument Linear writing with a topic supported by points and examples is an example of a deductive discourse strategy prevalent in English. This workshop has expanded to include paragraphs on writing reasons, problems, ways, and others will be added in the future.

Cretan Writing 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. This system of writing developed on the island of Crete and in continental Greece in the Bronze Age. indoeuro.bizland.com /project/script/linea.html

English Department Discussion Space Review what you all said earlier in the course about linear writing versus hypertext (under the Click Here discussions). I still think that writing causes a paper to be taken more seriously whereas hypertext allows the reader to develop their own version of the story. I agree to what Elizabeth had to say, linear is better overall, but hypertext can have its benefits if the author knows what they are doing and are very organized and the reader knows what they are doing as well. www.louisville.edu /a-s/english/discus/messages/89/859.html?1017718754

The Karanovo Zodiac and Old European Linear Some have termed Old European Linear as examples of pre-writing [ 6 ] or proto-writing [ 7 ], which is ambiguous at best. Linear inscriptions from Neolithic and Chalcolithic Europe have been known since before the turn of the century, but only with the last four decades have important examples been brought to light. Such a relationship as between calendar or zodiac symbols and writing, and demonstrated by Moran, Kelley, and Gordon, should not be regarded as the exception, but as the rule. www.flavinscorner.com /kz2.htm

Linear A & Linear B The recovered documents of Linear A and Linear B were inscribed in clay tablets mostly found in Knossos and Pylos. However, Linear B had a better text layout, a wider range of pictorial ideograms, and the use of weights and measures symbols were added. Writing was first developed in Crete around 2000 B.C. The stages of Minoan writing are as follows: hieroglyphs (ca. www.plu.edu /~pulidoin/page12.html

The Struggle of Writing against the Limitations of Print Culture The function of writing at the time of the mediaeval codex could not go much further beyond the preservation of spoken words that were otherwise ephemeral, since the lack of spa cing between the handwritten words necessitated that texts were read aloud14 and therefore that its content was possible to articulate in speech. This democratisation of writing negates the prestige conferred upon the author by print culture, and can transform the indi vidual's perception of their role in the culture of their society from that of an autonomous, but passive, consumer to one of an actively creative participant. Electronic writing is stored in the computer in an abstracted form, since it has to b e to translated into a sequence of binary numbers that the hardware of the computer can translate into pulses of electricity. www.acmi.net.au /AIC/TARLING.html

No. 1134: Linear B Linear A and B were significantly different from one another. Linear B was closer to Greek than anyone thought. It had a few symbols that looked like Linear B. Evans had brushed that evidence off because old Cypriot was too close to Greek. www.uh.edu /admin/engines/epi1134.htm

LINEAR COMPOSING, DISCOURSE ANALYSIS, The implication is that linear writing is academic writing—for academic purposes. But Hairston’s paradigm shift, judging from her description of the composing processes of “most writers,” would virtually exclude linear writing, and thence the teaching of techniques for linear writing. In addition, I learned—unexpectedly—that his writing process is in many ways more linear than recursive. jac.gsu.edu /jac/4/Articles/4.htm

Linear B and Linear A compared Above is a closeup of a large Linear B tablet from the Mycenaean site of Pylos. All these objects are examples of early writing from Knossos on Crete. Mycenaeans also painted Linear B signs on storage and transport jars, such as this one which contained wine or olive oil. ccwf.cc.utexas.edu /~perlman/myth/linb.htm

HyperText Project The emphasis within the lab classes, and the use of hypertext for writing, submitting, and assessment of work, is on a definition of hypertext as digital non-linear writing and publication. As a consequence hypertext is a form of writing and publication that does not need to be as sequential or linear as traditional writing, and allows readers and writers to move through it in various ways. While some understand the non-linear nature of hypertext as a product of the computer's random access abilities it is probably more relevant to reverse this and consider hypertext to be a product of the links. hypertext.rmit.edu.au /publications/one/hypertext_terms.html

SparkNotes: Writing Equations: General Linear Form General linear form is not the most useful form to use when writing an equation from a graph. To write an equation in general linear form, given a graph of the equation, first find the x -intercept and the y -intercept -- these will be of the form ( a, 0) and (0, b). This equation is linear and the two intercept points satisfy it, therefore it represents the line. www.sparknotes.com /math/algebra1/writingequations/section3.rhtml

Linear B It is likely that Greek speakers who settled Crete after the disaster adapted the Minoan script (Linear A) to meet the needs of writing their own language.

From ON-CALL, Vol. 11 No. 2 This paper now continues with a discussion of reading and then writing; in each case the qualities of linear and nonlinear texts will be discussed. Turning now to a consideration of nonlinear text, to gain insight into the approach taken in writing the hypertext as part of Web page construction, I conducted an informal survey with students, mostly language teachers, in the MA in Computers, Technology and Language Learning (a formal survey is to follow). In comparing linear and nonlinear approaches to writing, I would like to contrast student experiences drawn from their insights into writing essays and constructing Web pages. www.cltr.uq.edu.au /oncall/levy112.html

Mosaic Unit 2: Linear B--The Mycenaean Writing System Subsequent finds of Linear B tablets at Mycenae, Knossos in Crete, and elsewhere demonstrate that the knowledge of writing was widespread at the time. Except for around 50 inscriptions on vases and one example of wall-graffiti at Knossos, the tablets are all that remain of Linear B writing.

Writing For Multimedia: Overview Ironically, nonlinear writing requires diligent organization (usually in the form of flow charts or in my case, indecipherable notes). Linear refers to a progression in a straight line, like reading the chapters in a book (or an article about multimedia writing). For instance, let's say we're writing a tutorial on an application available for both the Macintosh and the PC. home.earthlink.net /~atomic_rom/overview.htm

sffworld.com - Writing Style: Linear or Non-Linear? I have to put down *something*, usually, but my "nonlinear writing" is revision--I often have scenes that are so badly done that, after I'm finished the novel, nothing short of tearing out the scene and starting over will fix them. For me, there are two big problems with nonlinear writing, although it is best for some people. But, when I write nonlinearly, there's one big reason for that--research. www.sffworld.com /forums/showthread.php?t=2848

Data\AAWord\IDREPORT\TOLn-lin Her fifty minute lesson that starts with A, and goes via B and the logically C and D culminating in the explanatory or conclusive E, is disrupted violently, her linear rhetoric is replaced by a non-linear mode where students can leave her reasoning at every step of the way. The teacher is no longer able to speak in a persuasive and teleological rhetoric, in a non-linear environment the student is able to turn her back on her and her precious arguments any minute. Ever since Aristotle, we have learnt that stories have a beginning, a middle, and an end - in other words, a linear construction. athene.mit.csu.edu.au /~srelf/CELT/TOLn-lin.htm

Enhance Writing Creativity Using Graphical Outlines - Strategies to Succeed in Writing Thus, a better method than a linear outline is to use 2-dimensional graphical outlines, which allow you to put down your thoughts in the form of free-association diagrams. We normally write in a linear progression—with one word or thought after another. Another common one is to write your comments and ideas on the lines instead of the bubbles. www.school-for-champions.com /writing/graphicaloutlines.htm

Pat Boran - Irish poet and writer Whether you belong to a writing workshop running low on steam, or you're struggling to continue working on your own, this book offers a wide range of games and exercises to help stimulate you in your writing. Through some 200 pages of games, exercises and challenges, he not only explains many of the techniques and central concepts of creative writing, but he also shows how these can be put to work in your writing. In three main sections covering The Raw Material, Poetry and Fiction, prize-winning poet and fiction writer Pat Boran takes a hands-on approach to the creative writing process. homepage.eircom.net /~patboran/portable.html

teaching writing as a process To understand how hypertext can be used to teach writing as process, one must first understand exactly what hypertext is. In a very broad sense, hypertext is any text that is non-linear in nature. At the University of Texas, Professor Daniel Anderson (available for your perusal at http://www.cwrl.utexas.edu/~daniel/hyperwriting/ has his students use hypertext to create works of fiction by multiple authors, non-linear persuasion papers (Is “papers” an obsolete term in the realm of electronic text? When applied to the learning environment, the ability to move through an already existing hypertext non-linearly can be a liberating experience, but it pales in comparison to the impact that same non-linearity can have on the student-writer. englishscholar.com /fc3_hypertextastool.htm
