Abstract. Linearity presupposes one-dimensional order in the layout of signs, while emblematic composition refers to a non-linear encoding of information (also linguistic content). Early stages of writing show emblematic arrangement of figurative signs, such the Aztec writing as focused in this paper; while linear order of characters typically emerges with non-figurative units. Yet, since non-linear or emblematic representation of content is primary in textualization practices of any script, the story of writing repeatedly testifies the emergence of multi-linear textual structures, not only in Medieval western manuscripts but also in modern practices of textualization.
