<P>that would be just fantastic! I took a look at the website Tim gave me and it looks really interesting. Some of the courses are planned for 2007 though. I've already send an email to Mr Albert Bickford via the website to ask for information. It's great you are in contact with so many people Val. Really helps me to get around. It would be so amazing to have lessons about linguistics including SignWriting. Just great :)</P>

<P>And I would love to pop in for a visit Val ;) (just have to check my moneypit ;) I believe traveling from one state to another is cheap? It's the jump from Belgium to the US that would cost me a great deal.</P>

<P>warm regards, </P>

<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">....you might like to check out the courses that SIL run in conjunction with the University of North Dakota. You can find more details at: <A href="http://www.und.edu/dept/linguistics/courses.htm#SignedLanguages">http://www.und.edu/dept/linguistics/courses.htm#SignedLanguages</A>.</DIV></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>

<DIV>Hello Kathleen and Tim!</DIV>

<DIV>Tim is right. The Summer Institute of Linguistics (the SIL) presents a summer course on linguistics in North Dakota, and they present SignWriting there, along with many other things! Two teachers there are Steve and Dianne Parkhurst, who are the authors of the fantastic textbook on SignWriting in Madrid, Spain, called SignoEscritura. Lots of people use their textbook around the world, to learn SignWriting. The Parkhursts also wrote a complete novel in SignWriting in Spanish Sign Language - a bound book with no spoken language in it! An historic first to have a mystery novel completely written in SignWriting!</DIV>

<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>

<DIV>Others who will be teaching or attending are Stuart Thiessen from Iowa, who is working on a degree in which SignWriting will be an active part, and also a teacher in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Marty Carlson, who uses SignWriting with her Deaf students in Albuquerque, attended the SIL summer course last summer...</DIV>

<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>

<DIV>They have used SignPuddle in these courses in the past, to write some Mexican signs from Mexican Sign Language...you can see their signs in the Mexican SignPuddle...</DIV>

<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>

<DIV>So it is a perfect course for you, Kathleen, because it combines using SignWriting with many other things...I know they give an overview of other linguistic-notation systems too, although they are not designed for the same reason as SignWriting as you know...so you will learn a lot I am sure, plus get to know others who use SignWriting around the world...</DIV>

<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>

<DIV>Here are the people to contact about the SIL Summer Course...</DIV>
