This >is my search. SignWriting List September 11, 2001 Karl - The kind of teaching materials you mention would be excellent! I hope you or others will develop them, using SignWriting. Although we have some materials that teach a little ASL, our main goal is to invent a usable and typable writing system for any signed language in the world. So I do not teach ASL. Historically, the development of the "alphabet" had to come first, before good grammar books could be written. So I am developing the equivalent to the alphabet for writing signs...and then others will have to write the grammar books on different signed languages. So you will need to learn ASL with teachers and Deaf friends. Then you and your students can use SignWriting to write down the signs and grammar you learn. -- Val ;-> Valerie Sutton SignWritingSite: https://www.SignWriting.org SignWriting List Archives: https://groups.yahoo.com/group/sw-l/ To post a message to the SW List: |
