Comparing HamNoSys, Stokoe & SignWriting

[SignWriting]

November 17, 1999

Dear SLLING Members:

I am writing to announce an important new forum on our SignWriting Web Site.

It is entitled:

The SignWriting Linguistics Forum
...linguistic issues surrounding SignWriting...

http://www.SignWriting.org/ling000.html


The first article posted in the Linguistics Forum is:

"Writing the Same Signs in
Different Transcription Systems

Comparing HamNoSys, Stokoe & SignWriting"
http://www.SignWriting.org/ling001.html

This article is co-authored by three people:

HamNoSys
Susanne Bentele
Universitaet Hamburg, Germany
http://www.SignWriting.org/ling007.html

Stokoe System
Joe Martin, Western Washington University
http://www.SignWriting.org/ling006.html

SignWriting
Valerie Sutton
Deaf Action Committee For SignWriting
http://www.SignWriting.org/ling004.html

The article also shows the Shorthand system that is a part of SignWriting:

Hope you enjoy the new Linguistics Forum. More articles are planned in the
future, including an in depth comparison between the Stokoe system and
SignWriting, written by linguist Joe Martin.

Have a wonderful day!

Val ;-)
