"4880","Blissymbolics, cognition, and the handicapped","Advantages and disadvantages of alphabetic and logographic writing systems are discussed, with particular emphasis on Blissymbolics as an example of a logographic system. It is concluded that logographic systems might be easier to learn than alphabetic systems and, in particular, that Blissymbols could be a useful communication device for people with various kinds of handicaps. This suggestion is substantiated by empirical research.","http://cogprints.org/4880/","Muter, P.","Hjelmquist, E. and Nilsson, L.-G.","       <span class=\"person_name\">Muter, P.</span>     (1986)  <a href=\"http://cogprints.org/4880/\"><em>Blissymbolics, cognition, and the handicapped.</em></a>       [Book Chapter]           ","","1986"
