Dear Martin, Our HW for issue 545.
A grapheme is atomic by definition as it represents the minimum unit (i.e., a unit that cannot be further decomposed) of a writing system. Furthermore, the grapheme is a conceptual and non-concrete unit and is made manifest by the individual act (performance) of writing. For this reason, a grapheme of an actual text cannot exist. Instead, in actual texts we find glyphs that are precisely the physical manifestation of graphemes. We hope this clarifies :-) Ciao, Achille & Francesca > Il giorno 17 giu 2021, alle ore 15:02, Martin Doerr via Crm-sig > <crm-sig@ics.forth.gr> ha scritto: > > Dear All, > > I think we need to distinguish the set of all possible atomic graphemes of a > writing system, from the atomic grapheme, a grapheme sequence (or > arrangement) of an actual text, and the grapheme set appearing in an actual > text. > -- > ------------------------------------ > Dr. Martin Doerr > > Honorary Head of the > > Center for Cultural Informatics > > Information Systems Laboratory > Institute of Computer Science > Foundation for Research and Technology - Hellas (FORTH) > > N.Plastira 100, Vassilika Vouton, > GR70013 Heraklion,Crete,Greece > > Vox:+30(2810)391625 > Email: mar...@ics.forth.gr <mailto:mar...@ics.forth.gr> > Web-site: http://www.ics.forth.gr/isl > <http://www.ics.forth.gr/isl>_______________________________________________ > Crm-sig mailing list > Crm-sig@ics.forth.gr > http://lists.ics.forth.gr/mailman/listinfo/crm-sig
