2025 Ten Minute Talks Session 2A - Bystrom

The Impact of Research on Linguistic Mysteries

Mentor: Rachel Makarowski

Linguistic mysteries have been a prominent feature in the field of linguistics, not just from their allure but also because scholars seek to advance their knowledge of language processing as a whole. Through the cases presented here, the varied attempts at deciphering still-unsolved mysteries demonstrate that there is, often, little direction for drawing conclusions with widespread agreement about a problem. It is from this that this paper will not attempt to devise any solutions. Rather, the primary focus will be on other studies’ methods. The mysteries that will be explored in this paper include the Voynich Manuscript, Rongorongo, and the Indus Script.
