Graphocentrism
Graphocentrism or scriptism is a typically unconscious interpretative bias in which writing is privileged over speech.[1][2]
Biases in favor of the written or printed word are closely associated with the ranking of sight above sound, the eye above the ear, which has been called 'ocularcentrism'.[3] It opposes phonocentrism, which is the bias in favor of speech.
