Why do people still write by hand today? Is typing by hand actually handwriting? And what have signatures got to do with identity? Andi Gredig explores these and many other questions about handwriting from a linguistic and cultural studies perspective. He organizes the complex terminology of writing and script, explores common notions of what handwriting is and can be, and traces current practices of handwriting on the basis of text types such as greeting cards, sketches, and notes. The systematic and precise linguistic analysis of the ideologically contested subject of handwriting reveals some surprising insights. Andi Gredig is a researcher and lecturer at the German Department of the University of Zurich. As a layouter and editor in the linguistics department, he also edits and designs texts in the humanities and deals intensively with typography. In the summer of 2020, he completed his doctorate at the University of Zurich on the topic of handwriting.

The spoken language comes before the written language, both in the language-learning child and in the history of humanity. Homo loquens was there first, but much later he also became gay scribens. Therefore, linguistics also considers spoken language as its primary object of research. However, we, the language user but also the linguist, are so familiar with the written language that we always perceive the spoken language through the glasses of that written language. As a result, we project all kinds of characteristics of the written language onto the spoken language. For example, letters would correspond to separate sounds and sentences would express thoughts. This book questions these assumptions that we think are 'natural' but that are in fact 'cultural'. The book also shows how our vision on the origin of writing and on the process of learning to read and write is colored by the written glasses. This also makes this book a critical reflection on linguistics and its history.
