"Due to its crucial role in the history of English, scholars from different linguistic
strands have explored a wide variety of areas in the study of EModE orthography, for
example theoretical issues, levels of orthographic change and standardisation, as
well as the linguistic and extra-linguistic contexts which shaped and defined the
writing system(s) of English. The diverse range of interests in the study of EModE
orthography is not surprising, if one considers the outstanding differences in terms
of research into the topic, and the number of linguists with divergent fundamental
assumptions and methodologies who share an interest in the possibilities, tendencies
and reasons for change in the EModE language. Among the most notable remarks, a number
of writers have commented on the process of development as a gradual and somehow logical
fixing of English spelling. Various contributions to aspects of historical English
have also weaved a narrative about EModE spelling as a systemic, well-defined entity.
Some of the most relevant publications include those by Foster (1953), Dobson (1955),
Hinman (1963), Whalley (1969), Barber (1976), McLeod (1979), Devitt (1989), Görlach
(1991; 2001), Salmon (1999), Blake (2000), Smith (2005; 2012), Nevalainen (2006),
Moessner (2012) and Rutkowska & Rössler (2012). All of these resources provide a
compendium of information about developments and structures in EModE orthography and
cover areas like spelling, punctuation and capitalisation"
