Another thing I thought of regarding Taiwan. I met a hearing Taiwanese lady
at TISLR, but don't remember talking about this.

But I did set in on Jean Ann's presentation on variation in Taiwan Sign. She
showed how there are 2 or 3 distinct signed languages in Taiwan. "We" should
contact her and find out how to properly refer to these languages. Saying
Taiwan Sign may not be their preferred way, but then again , they may not
mind.

Later,
Victor

PS Her email is: "Jean Ann" <ann at oswego.edu> in Oswego, NY, USA
