Hello Ingvild!
Thanks for this message....This event mentioned below is related to  
the Scott Liddell and Robert Johnson system from the 1980's...it is a  
linguistically-based notation system ...nothing like SignWriting and  
could not be used for writing Sign Language Literature..it is not a  
true writing system for daily use...I met the inventors years  
ago....when I taught a workshop on SignWriting at Gallaudet University  
in 1984, I had lunch with Scott Lilddell and Bob Johnson...they teach  
linguistics at the Linguistics dept at Gallaudet ...at least they did  
at the time...and it is not like the Stokoe system either...a  
different system...It does not have the same purpose as SignWriting,  
but it would be fun to have some SignWriting participants at their  
meeting -

For those new on our List, SignWriting is used as a linguistic  
notation system too, but it was developed mostly for everyday use as a  
real daily writing system for signers...so we can write stories and  
books in written signed languages, written by the users of the  
languages, and not just for research or specific linguistic  
projects...SignWriting incorporates writing facial expressions and  
body movement and more important features that make it possible to  
write storytelling and write directly in the movements of signed  
languages...

Thanks for the posting, Ingvild!

Val ;-)
