************************************************
G21C (Grapholinguistics in the 21st Century) is a biennial conference
bringing together disciplines concerned with grapholinguistics and more
generally the study writing systems and their representation in written
communication. The conference aims to reflect on the current state of
research in the area, and on the role that writing and writing systems
play in neighboring disciplines like computer science and information
technology, communication, typography, psychology, and pedagogy. In
particular it aims to study the effect of the growing importance of
Unicode with regard to the future of reading and writing in human
societies. Reflecting the richness of perspectives on writing systems,
G21C is actively interdisciplinary, and welcomes proposals from
researchers from the fields of computer science and information
technology, linguistics, communication, pedagogy, psychology, history,
and the social sciences.
G21C aims to create a space for the discussion of the range of
approaches to writing systems, and specifically to bridge approaches in
linguistics, informatics, and other fields. It will provide a forum for
explorations in terminology, methodology, and theoretical approaches
relating to the delineation of an emerging interdisciplinary area of
research that intersects with intense activity in practical
implementations of writing systems.
The first edition of G21C was held in Brest, France, on June 14-15,
2018. All presentations have been recorded and can be watched on

interaction with other disciplines
– Foundations of grapholinguistics, graphemics and graphetics
– History and typology of writing systems, comparative
graphemics/graphetics
– Semiotics of writing and of writing systems
– Computational/formal graphemics/graphetics
– Grapholinguistic theory of Unicode encoding
– Orthographic reforms, theory and practice
– Graphemics/graphetics and multiliteracy
– Writing and Art / Writing in Art
– Sinographemics
– Typographemics, typographetics
– Texting, latinization, new forms of written language
– ASCII art, emoticons and other pictorial uses of graphemes
– The future of writing, of writing systems and styles
– Graphemics/graphetics and font technologies
– Graphemics/graphetics in steganography and computer security
(phishing, typosquatting, etc.)
– Graphemics/graphetics in art, media and communication / Aesthetics of
writing in the digital era
– Graphemics/graphetics in experimental psychology and cognitive
sciences
– Teaching graphemics/graphetics, the five Ws and one H
