I am writing my thesis on the topic of "Conventions in the development of SignWriting," and my supervisor is Mr. Jan Fikejs, M.A., who has previously contacted you regarding my work. :)</p><p>My thesis is primarily based on the bachelor's thesis of Miriam Šerá, as well as on your work (books/website), and materials I have received. For my research, I need additional materials that contain notations from various stages of development, to have sufficient sources for my study.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p><p>I wanted to ask if it would be possible to obtain more materials from you, for example, from the periods of full-body notation, SignWriting handwriting, SignWriting shorthand, and also during the phases of expressive, vertical, and stacked evolution.</p><p>Any material that allows me to compare character notations across these periods would be very helpful, really anything you have. Thank you very much for your response and cooperation.</p><p>Best regards,<br>Lucie Hudková</p></div></div></div></blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
