[split] An interview with Stephen Bax - 1 to 1 substitution discussion

[Emma May Smith]

Why are we saying "one-to-one substitution code" in reference to a language? Substitution ciphers are for existing scripts. Most linguistic solutions would consider that the script we see is referencing the underlying language and not some intermediate script.

Emma, I don't know if you've watched the video, but in it there are charts and in the charts the system laid out is essentially a substitution code.

I don't remember the charts you're referring to. But I guess that they're phonemes and not characters.
