Content and concept
The seminar examines historical techniques for transforming human language into operable forms. Focusing on Europe before 1900, the course addresses how phonology is represented across different writing systems, the design of idealized and constructed scripts, the mechanical transmission and recording of speech, practices of cryptography, and the emergence of early machine-readable forms of language (e.g. Boolean logic and binary encoding systems such as Morse code).
