| description |
The Anatolian Hieroglyphic writing system includes logographic, semilogographic and phonetic writings. The ideographic and pictographic nature of the signs themselves is contrasted with their logographic function. In the process of extracting meaning from the texts written in this script priority should be given to the logographic aspect of the signs, their capacity to represent words rather than ideas or images. A number of case studies in reading signs of dubious value are pursued to illustrate the methods employed by researchers in reading this script.
