Annotation

This general survey of writing and literacy in Chinese, Korean and Japanese, consists of three main parts with a similar structure: a discussion of the language; the writing systems used for that language; the acquisition of the writing systems; education and literacy; and attempts at reform and reasons for retaining the use of Chinese characters.
