SignWriting List
October 27, 2010

Hello Erika!
Thank you for this great report. You are accomplishing so much and your work is really fascinating.

Can you provide the links to each of the items that you mention below? I am still preparing a little bibliography to give Jessie a sample of some of the publications and papers written by others, and I would like to include all you mention below, but I will need some links...

I found this link...is this correct?

Metasemiotic Regimentation in the Standardization of Nepali Sign Language,
The Journal of Linguistic Anthropology 18:2, 2008:

http://linguisticanthropology.org/web-enhanced-articles/web-enhanced-article-metasemiotic-regimentation-in-the-standardization-of-nepali-sign-language/

and attached is your PDF document which includes SignWriting, which you posted to the List long ago:

Do I have your permission to post this PDF in the SignWriting PDF Archives on signwriting.org? I could place a link to it either in the SignWriting Research Forum page, and/or the SignWriting Linguistics Forum page...if this is not possible that is ok, but if your answer is yes, I will post it there today -

Thank you, Erika!

Val ;-)

We have been assigned a research project, and need to find academic and professional articles that have been published about our topic, in this case Valerie Sutton and SignWriting. I am having trouble because the only sources I can find are Wikipedia andsignwriting.org. I need to find books or articles that have been published. I have read almost everything on signwriting.org, but I cannot use this as a source for my project.
