I've actually done a pilot project to show that it's feasible. It's able to take National Weather Service forecasts in English, and translate them into ASL. It's definitely a work in progress, but it can handle a certain amount of what's written. The output is in Newkirk '86 notation, but it's possible to do it in SignWriting or just about any other system. I have a paper about it which will soon be published in the Proceedings of the Second High Desert Student Conference in Linguistics. In the meantime, you can get it on the Web at <https://s-leodm.unm.edu/~grvsmth/portfolio/mt-weath.pdf> Any questions or comments are welcome. -- Angus B.
