Nothing comes close to Sign Writing as a viable system, but it is good to know where others have gone, if for no other reason than to appreciate where we are now going. Anyway, if you are interested, here are a few possible sources, SLR '87 W.H. Edmondson & F. Karlsson (editors) Papers from the Fourth International Symposium on Sign Language Research 1990 Signum Verlag, Hamburg Germany this is written in English by the way, if you can get your hands on a copy A paper entitled "Implications for Sign Research of a Computerized Wriitten Form of ASL" presented by Sandra Hutchins, Howard Poizner, Marina McIntire, and Don Newkirk. The paper describes their attempt to create an orthography for ASL called SignFont. The standards they developed as criteria for their writing system are very interesting. Another book is Sign Language Research 1994: Proceedings of the 4th European Congress of Sign Language Research, Munich, Septembe 1-3, 1994 Heleen Bos and Trude Schermer, Eds. Signum. Hamburg 1995 Paper: "The Notation of Sign Languages: Bebian's Mimographie" by Renate Fischer documents one of (if not the) earliest attempts at providing a written form of a signed language. In the same volume, a paper: "SyncWriter: Integrating Video into the Transcription and Analysis of Sign Language." by Thomas Hanke and Siegmund Prillwitz | ||||||||||||||||
