<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid">> December 13, 2006<br>><br>> THANK YOU, Cris!<br>><br>> And how are you, Cris? ...are you working with SignWriting at all
<br>> now?...I remember before you were very active...<br>><br>> Val ;-)<br>><br>> -------------<br><br>Dear Val and SW list members:<br>I'm quite fine. I don't work with SW directly, I'm researching the<br>
Brazilian SLI proficiency in my Master, but occasionally I have the<br>opportunity to contact again SW. February I gave SW basic (and<br>intensive) lessons to hearing adults (researchers) from the Federal<br>University of Brasilia (UnB) and it was the first time there was no
<br>deaf in the class and that I teached it in Portuguese (before only in<br>sign language). It was a good surprise to see that students and<br>scholars from UnB learned SW so fast as deaf individuals. They intend<br>to use it for transcriptions of sign language.
<br>And recently I've presented a paper in a Linguistic event (Celsul) in<br>Pelotas called: The possibility of Signwriting in Deaf Literacy<br>(available only in Portuguese, sorry). As you can see SW is not in my<br>focus now, but it's always around (even in my own sign language
<br>transcriptions).<br>I've been at TISLR, fortunately or unfortunately, I've been working in<br>the Brazilian Sign Language team with almost no time to chat, it was a<br>shame cause I've only said "hi" and "see you later" then gone back to
<br>work.<br>Best regards to everyone!<br><br><br>--<br><br>MĒ Cristina Pires Pereira<br><br>Porto Alegre - RS - Brasil<br>MSN: <a href="mailto:macripiper@hotmail.com">macripiper@hotmail.com</a><br><a href="http://br.geocities.com/macripiper">
