The Taxonomy of Writing Systems: How to Measure How Logographic a System Is
Richard Sproat, Alexander Gutkin, 2021. Computational Linguistics.
Proposes a way to measure how logographic a writing system is, treating logography as a matter of degree rather than a fixed category, in line with earlier two-dimensional taxonomies by Sproat and Rogers.
What it's used for here
The linguistic-datasets survey lists it as the basis for a proposed test of writing-system type (alphabet, abjad, abugida, syllabary or logographic) from statistics alone.
