SignWriting List
January 25, 2014

Since SignWriting is now used to write Wikipedias in sign languages, which is really an encyclopedia written in ASL, and since we now have around 50 articles written in ASL in the test ASL Wikipedia, I would think the Deaf Studies Encyclopedia would want to know of another encyclopedia - the first one written in sign language…and the fact that it is a trend that will grow as more sign languages start their own Wikipedias in SignWriting - The Deaf Studies Encyclopedia should have some articles written in ASL too (smile)...

For example - under their “Signed Literature” category - why couldn’t the Wikipedia in ASL have an article? Maybe from a linguistic or sociolinguistic perspective?

Those are my thoughts  - I realize I might not understand what they really want - smile -

Thank you for considering writing articles, everyone -

Val ;-)

It would be good for me to have a deeper understanding of the alternative systems out there. Maybe Adam and I could co-author something? Or Claudia, you would certainly be well positioned to write such a piece...
