I'm off to read these links. I first heard of Linear B writing in fantasy novels, and it's quite intriguing.
Deciphering Cretan ScriptsAs children we learn that A is for Apple, B is for Boy and C is for Cat, and that CAB is the machine we use to travel downtown. We also sing the alphabet song, whose words are the alphabetic signs sung in a sing-song rhythm that helps us to remember them all. We cannot imagine easily that pre-Greek systems of writing do not work that way at all. They do not tell us what words sound like. We do not know, for example, how Hebrew sounded in the days of Jesus, because the ancient Semitic system of writing simply does not tell us how to pronounce the words. You have to know already, just as we are taught to pronounce “A rough cough ploughed through a hiccough.”
by Barry B. Powell
To understand writing on Crete, and its place in history, we need to know something about the theory and history of writing, because we constantly run aground in thinking that writing in the ancient world worked in the same way that writing works for us. We also stumble over confusing terms applied unhistorically. For example, we often use the word “alphabet” to describe Phoenician writing, but this obscures the fact that an earth-shattering change took place around 800 B.C. when someone, either Greek or Semite, modified the Phoenician system to create the world’s first writing system that tells the reader what words sound like.*
Writing consists of markings of some kind on a material substance. These markings sometimes represent speech or parts of speech, but they may also communicate information through a raw symbol, like an arrow, or through a picture, like a handicapped-parking sign. What we most often think of as “real” writing, however, is phonetic writing, which refers to systems of writing in which at least some marks represent sounds of human speech.
