<DIV><FONT size=2>Hello List!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I would like to report on a PJM and SW lesson held by Romuald
Szurik and me as part of the Science Festival of Warsaw. The event is organized
every year by all the Warsaw universities and its purpose is to share the
knowledge with so called ordinary people in the street. Our Computer
Linguistics Unit of the University of Warsaw prepared three
lessons:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>1. Silent Foreigners Among Us: The Deaf, Their History,
Language(s) and Culture (by Prof. Marek Swidzinski, linguist)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>2. How to "speak" Sign Langauage(s) (by Romuald Szurik and
me)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>3. Sign to me! Sign2Baby System (by Danuta
Mikulska).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>It went all good, the lecture room was full of audience and
even the press recorded the lessons. And there was a funny point, as after all
the lessons the professor wanted to hug me and we both fell down onto the floor!
Yeah, Shane was right when he said I was never short of drama
:-))).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>But we are happy now as it was the first time that ordinary
people learned (from us or from the press) that PJM is a true langauge and that
SignWriting exists :-).</FONT></DIV>
