Looking for foreign co-operation

[Nedelina Ivanova]

Dear all,

My name is Nedelina Ivanova. I am working on a sign language dictionary project
for Icelandic Sign Language at The Communication Centre for The Deaf and Hard
of Hearing in Reykjavik, Iceland.

The purpose of my letter is as following: I am going to apply for á project
grant from the Icelandic Research Fund and I am looking for foreign
co-operation. The main subject of my research will be morphology of Icelandic
Sign Language. I am going to research among other things sing´s root: what is
the root of a sign; how can the grammar category root be defined for Icelandic
SL; is there only one possibility for definition or are they more??

My question to all of you is: Is someone interested to research the same topic
in the sign language of his country of origin? Probably you know someone who
will be interested??? The main idea is to share information on our researches
via emails and see which the conclusions will be. Then always is possible to
publish the main conclusions of our research. 

I know that some discussions have been taken place in the teams working on a
making of SL dictionary but as far as my knowledge reaches there aren’t any
publications on this issue. I asked twice on the sign language mailing list if
someone is familiar with researches of any kind on this issue but I never got
an answer.

I think that this is a very interesting area of research and I hope that some
of you would like to join me in this research.

With best regards from Iceland
Nedelina Ivanova
