
"Writing" is the process of using
symbols (letters of the alphabet,
punctuation and spaces) to
communicate thoughts and ideas in
a readable form.

 Writing is the fourth of the four language skills,
which are: Listening
 Speaking
 Reading
 Writing
 In our own language, writing is usually the fourth
language skill that we learn.

To write clearly it is essential to
understand the basic system of a
language. In English this includes
knowledge of grammar, punctuation
and sentence structure. Vocabulary is
also necessary, as is correct spelling and
formatting.

 A writer may write for personal enjoyment or use, or
for an audience of one person or more. The audience
may be known (targeted) or unknown. Taking notes
for study purposes is an example of writing for one's
self. Blogging publicly is an example of writing for
an unknown audience.

 Writing systems can serve to represent any of these
levels of sound or any of the levels of meaning, and,
indeed, examples of all of these levels of structure
have been exploited by some writing system or
other. Writing systems consequently fall into two
large general classes: those that are based on some
aspect of meaning structure, such as a word or a
morpheme, and those that are based on some aspect
of the sound system, such as the syllable or
the phoneme.

 A writing system, technically referred to as a script
or an orthography, consists of a set of visible marks,
forms, or structures called characters or graphs that
are related to some structure in the linguistic
system.

 Roughly speaking, if a character represents a
meaningful unit, such as a morpheme or a word, the
orthography is called a logographic writing system;
if it represents a syllable, it is called a syllabic writing
system; if a segment of a syllable, it is called a
consonantal writing system or an unvocalized
syllabary; and if a phoneme, it is called an alphabetic
system.

 While spoken or signed language is a more or less
universal human competence that has been
characteristic of the species from the beginning and
that is commonly acquired by human beings without
systematic instruction, writing is a technology of
relatively recent history that must be taught to each
generation of children.
