Hello Juliette, Eduardo, Charles and everyone -

This is great news, Eduardo, that you found this video of Juliette Dalle explaining her research to linguists in France. THANK YOU!

And thanks also to the Deaf video site by Hataju, on Dailymotion.com, that re-posted the video, so we can now view it here:

LSF l'expérimentation du « sign writing »
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x9v482_lsf-l-experimentation-du-sign-writi_lifestyle#.Udw951O9z1s

And the description on the site:

Le « sign writing » est un système qui a été élaboré en 1974 par une danseuse qui cherchait à capter les mouvements du corps et qui l'a très vite adapté à la langue des signes. Une enseignante explique comment le « sign writing » est utilisé en classe auprès d'enfants sourds pour faciliter l'apprentissage de la Langue des Signes Française (LSF).
                              

Juliette - this is a lovely video, and I am happy to know that you are continuing to use SignWriting, perhaps in the future…Thank you for your message below…keep us informed of any new projects… please send my best regards to all your colleagues -

Val ;-)
