The alphabet is a type of notation which breaks language into small units, attempting to represent its phonological and/or phonetic repertoire. Given that writing is a way of thinking, based on a cognitive activity that requires mental procedures, the aim of this paper is to propose the architecture of the spelling process, described in cognitive and psycholinguistic studies, as a model for the transmission of the alphabet(s).
