This paper argues that applied linguistics needs to pay more attention to the properties of the writing systems of language. Knowledge of writing is implicitly involved in many areas of language. It consists of at least: the characteristics of sound-based or meaning-based writing systems and of writing direction; rules for linking written forms with spoken sounds; a memory store of individual instances of visual forms; orthographic regularities in letter positioning; orthographic forms such as capital letters and word spaces; the ability to execute the written forms physically. Specific problems for linguistics are: the seeming debt of phoneme-based theories of phonology to sound-based writing systems, on the one hand the unacknowledged use of written conventions such as capital letters in the presentation of spoken data, on the other the failure to take account of writing systems, for example in work on the acquisition of the past tense -ed in English.
