An Application of the Grapholinguistic Method
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 November 2020
This chapter analyses variation between the New Testament in its Glagolitic and Cyrillic editions of 1562/3 and 1563. The author showcases a grapholinguistic method to analyse and compare historical orthographic variation, inspired from the longstanding German tradition. The author attempts to identify, analyse and evaluate the characteristics and the purposes of the graphetic and the graphemic strands of analysis, thus furthering the understanding of the grapholinguistic method. With regard to the theoretical and methodological levels of analysis, the chapter indirectly provides evidence for the suitability of the grapholinguistic method for studying orthography more broadly. The results discussed in the chapter suggest that the proposed graphetic/graphemic distinction is useful and provides a more systematic framework for a multi-layered, empirical analysis of orthography.
