In a relaxed way people just write their own notes for themselves, by hand. So the styles of SW handwriting vary and there are several purposes for handwriting. </div><div><br></div><div>Adam’s paper will explore the history behind writing by hand and then will present the way he teaches it to his ASL students and how he proposes writing by hand. </div><div><br></div><div>I am looking forward to the Symposium!</div><div><br></div><div>Val ;-)</div><div><br></div><div>---------</div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On Mar 8, 2014, at 2:42 PM, André L <<a href="mailto:andre-andre@HOTMAIL.CA">andre-andre@HOTMAIL.CA</a>> wrote:</div><br class="ecxApple-interchange-newline"><blockquote><div class="ecxhmmessage" style="font: 12pt/normal Calibri; text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; letter-spacing: normal; word-spacing: 0px; white-space: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"><div dir="ltr">Hello all,<br>is there a document about handwriting and shorthand writing?<br> <br>There are a instructions on web pages but only a few hand configurations are explained and I found no reference to other symbols.<br> <br>good week-end<br>Thanks<br> <br>André Lemyre<br><span id="ecxOLK_SRC_BODY_SECTION" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> <br> <br></span> <br><div> <br></div></div>________________________________________________<p style="padding: 0px;"></p><div style="padding: 0px;">SIGNWRITING LIST INFORMATION</div><div style="padding: 0px;">Valerie Sutton SignWriting List moderator<span class="ecxApple-converted-space"> </span><a href="mailto:sutton@signwriting.org">sutton@signwriting.org</a></div><div style="padding: 0px;">Post Messages to the SignWriting List:<span class="ecxApple-converted-space"> </span><a href="mailto:sw-l@listserv.valenciacollege.edu">sw-l@listserv.valenciacollege.edu</a></div><div style="padding: 0px;">SignWriting List Archives & Home Page<span class="ecxApple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.signwriting.org/forums/swlist" target="_blank">http://www.signwriting.org/forums/swlist</a></div><div style="padding: 0px;">Join, Leave or Change How You Receive SW List Messages<span class="ecxApple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://listserv.valenciacollege.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=SW-L&A=1" target="_blank">http://listserv.valenciacollege.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=SW-L&A=1</a></div></div></blockquote></div><br></div>________________________________________________
