"Due to its crucial role in the history of English, scholars from different linguistic strands have explored a wide variety of areas in the study of EModE orthography, for example theoretical issues, levels of orthographic change and standardisation, as well as the linguistic and extra-linguistic contexts which shaped and defined the writing system(s) of English.

"Due to its crucial role in the history of English, scholars from different linguistic strands have explored a wide variety of areas in the study of EModE orthography, for example theoretical issues, levels of orthographic change and standardisation, as well as the linguistic and extra-linguistic contexts which shaped and defined the writing system(s) of English. The diverse range of interests in the study of EModE orthography is not surprising, if one considers the outstanding differences in terms of research into the topic, and the number of linguists with divergent fundamental assumptions and methodologies who share an interest in the possibilities, tendencies and reasons for change in the EModE language. Among the most notable remarks, a number of writers have commented on the process of development as a gradual and somehow logical fixing of English spelling. Various contributions to aspects of historical English have also weaved a narrative about EModE spelling as a systemic, well-defined entity. Some of the most relevant publications include those by Foster (1953), Dobson (1955), Hinman (1963), Whalley (1969), Barber (1976), McLeod (1979), Devitt (1989), Gèorlach (1991; 2001), Salmon (1999), Blake (2000), Smith (2005; 2012), Nevalainen (2006), Moessner (2012) and Rutkowska & Rèossler (2012). All of these resources provide a compendium of information about developments and structures in EModE orthography and cover areas like spelling, punctuation and capitalisation"--
