ACTIVITY 3 (mod. 1)

[Valerie Sutton]

SignWriting List
January 7, 2014

Hello Charles!
I wonder…is it possible that you are thinking of another old List member from Brazil, M Cristina P. Pereira?

Christina published a paper for Deaf Education under this name: Maria Cristina Pirez Pereira, about literacy and Deaf children - and she left us with some wonderful documents on SignWriting…some that I still need to post on the web…

Meanwhile our new List Member below, Cristiane, has another first name and is not Cristina - I will write to Cristiane next message - 

You are right about the Google Translate program. I believe there is a way to teach the software about the improved translation that is needed …not sure… someone needs to tell it that LIBRAS does not mean POUNDS in English!

Val ;-)

I just found the issue, by chance, on the internet while looking for research materials to bring information regarding the field of Deafness, especially its history, achievements, and the identify of the Deaf subject.
