Sign Writing Linguistic Society Conference - Followup

[Peter DeHaas]

Charles,

I just finished my second semester in linguistics.  I would love to  
participate this fall.
I think it would be interesting to look at ASL grammar in particular,  
and how Sign Writing
  is a viable alternative to traditional approaches to Conversational  
Analysis transcriptions.

Sign Writing reinforces the depth and diversity of ASL as a language  
versus a
CA transcription with English words depicting ASL word order.  Sign  
Writing further
preserves the integrity of ASL and shows the depth of gesture,  
expression, and
inflection.

Let me know how I can help out.

Best,

Peter DeHaas
