SignWriting Linguistics Forum updated to include SignTyp project

[Jonathan y Yolaine]

Hello Rachel, Charles, Val and everyone,
     I enjoyed looking over the SignTyp poster.  You know, I am working 
right now on a part of my SignWriter project that ties in a little with 
the SignWriting to SignTyp.  Except that I am going from hand 
characteristics to symbol,  in SignWriter Studio it is called "Hand 
Search".  I have it setup for all the hand basegroups but it isn't as 
detailed as SignTyp.  I personally feel that it would benefit being a 
bit more complete as far handshape characteristics.  But having full 
SignTyp would probably be too complicated for the user.  The Idea of 
"Hand Search" is to set a filter for the caracteristics of the hand 
shape you are looking for and it shows a list of handshapes that match 
the filter, ready to input into a sign.

     Have you analyzed the handshapes yet to get their characteristics 
or is this a future project?

This is number 4 on the linguistics web page...There is also a web version, which you do not have to download...The comparison between the Stokoe system and SignWriting was needed back in the year 2000, because at that time people really did not know the difference between the systems...so Joe's article helped with that transition...
