SignWriting List January 5, 2001 Thank you for your introduction, Anne-Claude, and welcome to the List! I have a quick question myself.... What is "metalinguistics", versus general linguistics? The phrase "metalinguistics skills in Sign Language" is new to me, and I want to make sure I understand exactly what your study entails, before I start answering your questions... Does anyone else know what metalinguistics is? -- Val ;-) ___________________________ Valerie Sutton ....visit the...
