SignWriting List

Dear SW List Members:
Yesterday I got a surprise telephone call from Ingvild Roald and  
Harald Bentz Høgseth from Norway! Thank you!

Harald's research project is fascinating. It is related to writing  
Full Body movement, documenting the movements of the body, when  
people build churches and do other carpentry work...also related to  
historic work on how carpentry and timber work was done in Norway  
generations ago...

This is a part of Harald's dissertation, at the University of  
Trondheim in Norway...is that correct, Harald?

In English, can you give us a very short description of your  
dissertation and what the purpose is, of your work, Harald?

Below is a listing of places to read about the history of the writing  
system...

Post questions to the List anytime...and best of luck with this  
interesting project!

Val ;-)
