SignWriting List
November 3, 2010

Hello Shane -
I see. I didn't realize the question was..."What peer-reviewed journals has SignWriting been mentioned in?" - that is a different question than I thought Jessie asked...I hope we have more journal articles soon too - thank you for mentioning that -

We do have a list of theses and dissertations, which Ingvild started (thank you, Ingvild) - people who dedicated years of their lives to work and write and test and apply SignWriting - and those are major accomplishments - defended and reveiwed by a panel of academic peers at the time the thesis or dissertation was accepted and published. But I guess that is not a journal, you are right -

I am starting a "Contributors to SignWriting History" area, and here is one of the pages in that area...another dissertation on SignWriting...

Guyhlem Aznar, PhD
http://www.signwriting.org/library/history/contributors/Aznar.html

Guyhlem is just one of many who has dedicated years to SignWriting - his dissertation is on Unicode and how SignWriting could be placed in Unicode...

Val ;-)
