Etymological sub-lexicons constrain the graphematic solution space
Graphematics comprises of the theory of writing systems dissociated from the
normative aspects of orthography. Neef (2005, 2012) adds the notion of graphematic
solution space, the orthographic options available for the words in a
language. These options may be different for the words of different sub-lexicons,
an issue that calls for a definition of such sub-lexicons. This paper proposes
to use the filter approach of Van Heuven, Neijt, & Hijzelendoorn (1994). This
paper concludes with critical remarks about Neef ’s assumption of a subset relation
between vocabulary levels and the more general claim of the graphematics
enterprise that the study of writing systems can escape the norms and conventions
of orthography.
