Hermeneutics

A term introduced by Jacques Derrida to designate his own theory of writing in general. Grammatology is intended to replace the general theory of signs and ultimately to undermine the metaphysics of presence.

Grammatology is a term coined by the linguist Ignace Gelb in 1952 to refer to the scientific study of writing systems or scripts.Gelb, Ignace. 1952. A Study of Writing. Chicago: University of Chicago Press It includes the typology of scripts, the analysis of the structural properties of scripts, and the relationship between written and spoken language.Daniels, Peter T. 1996.
