Alphabetic writing makes
language the first object of a genuinely scientific attention, whereupon
an atomistic analysis can be applied to other, nonlinguistic, objects. Though David Cusick was one of the first Iroquois to record the
oral literature of his nation in the alphabetic writing of Western
civilization, contemporary Iroquois do not necessarily receive his work
with praise. Alphabetic writing systems are hard to learn because the letter
symbols represent the smallest meaningless sounds in words that people
can hear. |
