SignWriting List
December 28, 2009

Not at all, Steve...I didn't even notice that and we all knew what you  
meant - your message was excellent...

I really learned something from your message....since it brings up the  
fact that there are some SignWriting writing rules that are related to  
writing in vertical columns, such as the Punctuation in the Center  
Lane, that has no connection to any grammar within any one sign  
language, but is a generic SignWriting writing convention.

So there are SignWriting writing conventions, relating to documents in  
general, and then there is the specific grammar of each sign language,  
having nothing to do with SignWriting per se...

That is a very good point and it needs to better documented on my  
end...there is also a need for better descriptions and documentation  
on SignSpelling Sequences, that was so well discussed a month ago on  
the List...so in 2010 we need to document very well, these differences  
and give researchers the information they need...

Thank you for the discussion!

Val ;-)
