SignWriting List November 27, 2001 This message was posted by Dr. Karen Emmorey to another list today...the Sign Language Linguist's List (SLLING). I noticed the Nicaraguan Sign Language Project is mentioned. Does this new publication include any SignWriting ? I don't know actually ;-)) Val ;-) -------------------------- Date: Tue, 27 Nov 2001 Sender: "For the discussion of linguistics and signed languages." From: Karen Emmorey Subject: Just in time for Christmas To: SignWriting List Dear List members, I am very happy to announce that Language, Cognition, and the Brain: Insights from Sign Language Research is now at the printers and will be available next month. The paperback version is $39.95 and can be purchased on-line (with a 15% discount) at the website for Lawrence Erlbaum and Associates (www.erlbaum.com). The hard back is pricey ($99) and is geared toward libraries.
