SignWriting List

Wow...very cool indeed, Shane!

I love Amsterdam...beautiful city...years ago, when I visited, it felt  
a little like Copenhagen to me, with its lovely waterways and  
friendly, very intelligent and multi-lingual citizens ;-))

I visited a Deaf school in the Amsterdam area, back in 1982 I believe...

Happy to know about SignWriting in your MA thesis...what will your MA  
thesis be about? I know you said general linguistics, but what Sign  
Language will you be writing?

Val ;-)
