[sw-l] Symbol Frequency with SignPuddle

[Valerie Sutton]

SignWriting List
May 7, 2005

THANK YOU, Stephen, for the excellent new feature in SignPuddle! I love 
it...It makes searching by handshape so easy...

And from a research perspective, it helps us pin down what symbols from 
the huge IMWA are really being used in each Sign Language. We all know 
that not all symbols are used in every Sign Language, and the Symbol 
Frequency feature shows us what symbols are really needed to write each 
specific sign language...in time this will help us create smaller 
symbolsets for specific Sign Languages...

I hope others will try it too...Go to SignPuddle and click on the 
Symbol Frequency icon...;-)
