In reply to my question: >>Are there any studies of the pros and cons of Signwriting when compared with >>the notation scheme used in the ASL Dictionary and the BSL/English >>dictionary? Valerie patiently points out to me: > 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. ... I had missed the significance of it until you pointed it. Will teach me to search the archive of the list---especially that on my own machine, which includes your original message. > Stokoe System > Joe Martin, Western Washington University > https://www.SignWriting.org/ling006.html It is the Stokoe System that I meant. Following the links on Joe's page got me lots of interesting pages. :-) Regards, Trevor British Sign Language is not inarticulate handwaving; it's a living langauge. So recognise it now. -- <>< Re: deemed! | ||||||||
