The Little Black One
A Tribute to the big Effect
of a small character
Especially in the digital age typographic characters run the risk of losing importance.
Because of the preferred writing in small form letters and headwords, punctuation marks seem to become more and more unnecessary.
This character which is often used wrong or not at all is important for understanding and denotation of the literary language. One misplaced comma can change the whole meaning of a sentence and may cause serious consequences.
The book at hand centers on such effects and aims to draw well-deserved attention for this small character by a playful handling of it‘s grammatical features.
