SignWriting Linguistics Society Conference - Callfor Papers - EDITED

[Adam Frost]

I personally understand this to mean any sign language can be used as the language of the presentator's topic that he or she chooses. Then the next paragraph just limits what topic can be picked. (Basically anything as long as it is related to SignWriting.) I think it is very clear as is. Good job Charles in putting this together. Quite a bit of work. I know I'd never be able to pull something like this together. I know that it will be a good conference. I look forward to it. ;-)

Charles,
 
 Maybe this is being too picky but doesn't the 4th paragraph starting with "Topics" negate the third paragraph, "Any signed language is welcome to present using any subject matter"?
