Hoi,<br>Reading the PDF I get the impression that International Sign evolved out of Gestuno. I have the impression that Gestuno is not used any more. When this is correct, there may be no need to ask for a code for Gestuno. Do I have this right or is there more to it ??

Someone privately pointed out to me that a summary of Rachel Rosenstock's<br>thesis is available at<br><a href="http://gri.gallaudet.edu/Publications/ragu_fall2005.pdf">http://gri.gallaudet.edu/Publications/ragu_fall2005.pdf
</a>. I found this very<br>helpful in answering some of my questions, particularly the relationship<br>between Gestuno and International Sign. (Although the WFD's dictionary of<br>Gestuno served as the historical impetus for developing International Sign,
<br>there is very little Gestuno vocabulary still used in International Sign.<br>Instead, International Sign tends to use highly-iconic vocabulary,<br>especially when the same sign is used in several different sign languages
<br>for a given concept.)<br><br>Albert<br><br>----- Original Message -----<br>From: "Bencie Woll" <<a href="mailto:b.woll@ucl.ac.uk">b.woll@ucl.ac.uk</a>><br>To: <<a href="mailto:slling-l@majordomo.valenciacc.edu">
