In modern usage, the term grammatology refers to the scientific study of writing systems or scripts.[1] This usage was first elucidated in English by linguist Ignace Gelb in his 1952 book A Study of Writing.[1] The equivalent word is recorded in German and French use long before then.[2][3] Grammatology can examine the typology of scripts, the analysis of the structural properties of scripts, and the relationship between written and spoken language.[4] In its broadest sense, some scholars also include the study of literacy in grammatology and, indeed, the impact of writing on philosophy, religion, science, administration and other aspects of the organization of society.[5]
Historian Bruce Trigger associates grammatology with cultural evolution.[6]
