>> Hello Rachel!
>> THANK YOU for this posting, and everyone is quite excited about your  project, using SignWriting in the SignTyp crosslinguistic database.
>>
>> And while I think of it, I believe you and Charles Butler are  presenting a paper about the SignTyp database, and about  SignWriting, at the TISLR conference at Purdue University in  Indiana, in September, 2010? http://www.purdue.edu/TISLR10/
>>
>> I just found a message posted by Charles to the List on September  22, 2009, asking for help with the videos too...so I can see now  that this request has been out there for some time...Thank you  Charles, for this message in September...(please see old message  pasted below Rachel's message below)...Have you received any  responses yet? I believe Rachel told me that there have not been  many responses...
>>
>> So everyone, here is the reason why we need your help...the SignTyp  project, at the University of Connecticut, is an important one for  many reasons. From the SignWriting perspective, it will be one of  the first times that SignWriting is used for a linguistic database  for sign language linguistic research in the US, and I believe it  will introduce many linguists to SignWriting for the first time..
>>
>> And I am really impressed with SignTyp. One of the cool features is  that it will be providing multi-lingual information...different sign  languages will be in the database...
>>
>> That is why we need YOUR help...Your group will be paid to provide  videos of specific signs in your sign language, and the SignWriting  of those signs, for the database...
>>
>> Please write to the List if you can help us...I am hoping that  videos of German Sign Language, Flemish Sign Language, French-Swiss  Sign Language and others can be a part of the project...
>>
>> We look forward to hearing from you!
>>
>> Val ;-)

>>> Dr. Harry van der Hulst from the University of Connecticut and I  are writing a grant application for a project that will expand the  current SignTyp crosslinguistic database  (http://www.ldc.upenn.edu/signtyp/downloads/) and add SignWriting.   The goal is to create videotapes of signs of different languages  and SignWriting transcriptions of these videotapes. The results of  this work will be web-based dictionaries for each sign language as  well as a research database.  Each dictionary will include  pictorial descriptions of the concept, SignWriting transcriptions  and glosses in both English and the language spoken in the same  area as the sign language, and records for SignTyp, the research  database.  The project should therefore provide material which will  be useful to deaf people, to students of the language, and to  researchers.

>>> We are looking for people who could find and videotape native  signers of various languages. We would provide a word list (mostly  as pictures), and we would be able to pay something to you and to  the person being videotaped.  If you are interested or would like  more information, please email me at rchannon at speakeasy.net.
