Trevor ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hi Trevor - I believe you mean the Stokoe system, invented by an American linguist named Dr. William Stokoe. Both the Stokoe system and SignWriting are used to transcribe American signs, as well as BSL signs. And so is HamNoSys. You may possibly have missed my recent message posted to the SW List about this subject. Here is the message again: November 17, 1999 Dear SignWriting List Members: I am writing to announce an important new forum on our SignWriting Web Site. It is entitled: The SignWriting Linguistics Forum ....linguistic issues surrounding SignWriting... https://www.SignWriting.org/ling000.html The first article posted in the Linguistics Forum is: "Writing the Same Signs in Different Transcription Systems Comparing HamNoSys, Stokoe & SignWriting" https://www.SignWriting.org/ling001.html This article is co-authored by three people: HamNoSys Susanne Bentele Universitaet Hamburg, Germany https://www.SignWriting.org/ling007.html Stokoe System Joe Martin, Western Washington University https://www.SignWriting.org/ling006.html SignWriting Valerie Sutton Deaf Action Committee For SignWriting https://www.SignWriting.org/ling004.html The article also shows the Shorthand system that is a part of SignWriting: SignWriting Shorthand https://www.SignWriting.org/ling005.html Hope you enjoy the new Linguistics Forum. More articles are planned in the future, including an in depth comparison between the Stokoe system and SignWriting, written by linguist Joe Martin. Have a wonderful day! Val ;-) |
