Sign Writing Linguistics Conference

[MARIA AZZOPARDI]

If you hold a conference on the internet, it would make things so much
easier for us here, far far away in Malta (and I'm sure for many other
Europeans actually)! Sorry Charles we didn't respond to your email about
the conference, it really would have been impossible for us to attend
though. Thank you for your effort in trying to get all the SignWriters
scattered all over the globe together.
