"Due to its crucial role in the history of English, scholars from different linguistic strands have explored a wide variety of areas in the study of EModE orthography, for example theoretical issues, levels of orthographic change and standardisation, as well as the linguistic and extra-linguistic contexts which shaped and defined the writing system(s) of English. The diverse range of interests in the study of EModE orthography is not surprising, if one considers the outstanding differences in terms of research into the topic, and the number of linguists with divergent fundamental assumptions and methodologies who share an interest in the possibilities, tendencies and reasons for change in the EModE language. Among the most notable remarks, a number of writers have commented on the process of development as a gradual and somehow logical fixing of English spelling. Various contributions to aspects of historical English have also weaved a narrative about EModE spelling as a systemic, well-defined entity. Some of the most relevant publications include those by Foster (1953), Dobson (1955), Hinman (1963), Whalley (1969), Barber (1976), McLeod (1979), Devitt (1989), Görlach (1991; 2001), Salmon (1999), Blake (2000), Smith (2005; 2012), Nevalainen (2006), Moessner (2012) and Rutkowska & Rössler (2012). All of these resources provide a compendium of information about developments and structures in EModE orthography and cover areas like spelling, punctuation and capitalisation"--

This book will tell all you need to know about British English spelling. It's a reference work intended for anyone interested in the English language, especially those who teach it, whatever the age or mother tongue of their students. It will be particularly useful to those wishing to produce well-designed materials for teaching initial literacy via phonics, for teaching English as a foreign or second language, and for teacher training. English spelling is notoriously complicated and difficult to learn; it is correctly described as much less regular and predictable than any other alphabetic orthography. However, there is more regularity in the English spelling system than is generally appreciated. This book provides, for the first time, a thorough account of the whole complex system. It does so by describing how phonemes relate to graphemes and vice versa. It enables searches for particular words, so that one can easily find, not the meanings or pronunciations of words, but the other words with which those with unusual phoneme-grapheme/grapheme-phoneme correspondences keep company. Other unique features of this book include teacher-friendly lists of correspondences and various regularities not described by previous authorities, for example the strong tendency for the letter-name vowel phonemes (the names of the letters ) to be spelt with those single letters in non-final syllables.

Spelling matters to people. In America and Britain every day, members of the public write to the media on spelling issues, and take part in spelling contests. In Germany, a reform of the spelling system has provoked a constitutional crisis; in Galicia, a 'war of orthographies' parallels an intense public debate on national identity; on walls, bridges and trains globally, PUNX and ANARKISTS proclaim their identities orthographically. The way we spell often represents an attempt to associate with, or dissociate from, other languages. In Spelling and Society, Mark Sebba explores why matters of orthography are of real concern to so many groups, as a reflection of culture, history and social practices, and as a powerful symbol of national or local identity. This 2007 book will be welcomed by students and researchers in English language, orthography and sociolinguistics, and by anyone interested in the importance of spelling in contemporary society.

Ever wondered why ‘his’ doesn’t have a Z? Or what on Earth is O doing in ‘won’? Ever asked why GH is in through? Or what is the point of silent letters? At last a book which spills the beans on English spelling. English spelling has rules and lots of them. Paquita Boston explains why English spelling is so difficult, much harder than spelling in most other languages. Boston also reveals the various codes that govern English spelling and describes how these codes are keys to hidden treasure, the cultural inheritance of all English speaking people. Boston treats spelling as a game as serious as any sport, with as many rules and as many game changes. After reading this book you’ll actually enjoy spelling and no longer view English as a ‘funny language without many spelling rules’. Instead, you will want to share the inside story on English spelling with young and old.

English Spelling and the Computer provides a thorough examination of spelling focusing in particular on the difficulties faced by present day spellers. Most people make spelling mistakes and while word processors with spellcheckers do offer some help, they do not catch all the errors and often make inappropriate suggestions. This book looks at common errors and explains why they are made. A knowledge of the history and development is useful for understanding the problems of spelling and the difficulties spellcheckers are trying to address. The book therefore begins by examining the history of spelling and goes on to consider the arguments for and against reform. This is followed by an analysis of a large corpus of spelling errors including both the errors that people make when they do not know how to spell a word and the errors they make when they know how to spell the word but for some reason write something different.
