Item description from seller

Questions surrounding the encoding of speech have been considered since scholars began to consider the history of different writing systems and of writing itself In modern times attention has been paid to such issues as standardizing systems for portraying in Roman script the scripts used for recording other languages and this has given rise to discussions about distinctions such as that between transliteration and transcription In recent times moreover the advent and general use of digital technology has allowed us not only to replicate with relative ease details of various scripts and to produce machine searchable texts but also to reproduce images of manuscripts that can be viewed and manipulated At the source of such endeavours lie the facts of language phonological and phonetic matters that scripts portray with various degrees of fidelity The main text is complemented by a series of appendixes four of which directly concern encoding The first of these contains thirteen tables in which are treated not only Sanskrit phonetic and phonological features but also interestingly reconstructions of Proto-Indo-European phonology according to different scholars The second third and fourth appendixes concern encoding schemes developed within the context of the Sanskrit Library established as a website by Scharf the Sanskrit Library Phonetic basic encoding scheme the Sanskrit Library segmental encoding scheme and the Sanskrit Library phonetic featural encoding scheme 290 pp.
