Resumen
Descripción
El sistema de escritura cuneiforme fue inventado en la Mesopotamia antigua durante el cuarto milenio a.C. Tan exitoso fue que, variaciones paleográficas mediante, se siguió utilizando durante más de tres mil años. Si bien el cuneiforme fue originalmente concebido para el sumerio, se adoptó luego para escribir otras lenguas, entre ellas el acadio, usado como lingua franca en el Cercano Oriente antiguo de la segunda mitad del II milenio. En este trabajo se contextualiza la invención del cuneiforme dentro del marco socio económico, se presentan las características del sistema de escritura
cuneiforme, y se esboza el proceso de adopción del cuneiforme para escribir el acadio.
The cuneiform writing system was invented in ancient Mesopotamia during the fourth millennium B.C. It was so successful that, with paleographic variations, continued to be used for more than three thousand years. While cuneiform was originally conceived for writing Sumerian, it was then adopted to write other languages, including Akkadian, used as lingua franca in the ancient Near East in the second half of the second millennium. This work contextualizes the invention of cuneiform within the socio-economic framework, presents the characteristics of the cuneiform writing system, and traces the process of the adoption of cuneiform to write Akkadian.
