SignWriting List
December 8, 2005

Dear SW List!
Today I went to a party...a celebration! A new research laboratory is  
now established here in San Diego, at San Diego State University,  
directed by Dr. Karen Emmorey. We ate good food and enjoyed seeing  
the new offices, and I saw some old friends. Some of our members of  
this List were there! And I gave the new lab a gift of three of our  
publications...the Lessons in SignWriting DVD, the Deaf Perspectives  
on SignWriting DVD and the Learn to Read ASL in SignWriting DVD. But  
most important, I told some of the researchers about SignPuddle. Some  
did not realize we could create signs on the web...so it was good to  
discuss it. What did they like best about SignPuddle? The Symbol- 
Frequency search page! Symbol-Frequency is needed for linguistic  
research. That was an excellent addition to SignPuddle, Steve...So I  
hope to discuss this further with the researchers after the  
holidays...Here is the name of the new research lab:

Dr. Karen Emmorey
Director, Laboratory for Language and Cognitive Neuroscience
San Diego State University
6495 Alvarado Road, Suite 200
San Diego, CA 92120
Website:  http://emmoreylab.sdsu.edu

And Shannon, if you are reading this, don't forget to send me your  
list of over 400 ASL verbs written in SignWriting...that will be very  
valuable for the world!  It was a pleasure seeing you again!  Val ;-)

PS. Here is the SignWriting card I brought with me to the party! see
