SignWriting List November 3, 2010 Hello Ingvild! THANK YOU for this listing. I do appreciate it so much. I found the bibliographical work overwhelming and tried to finish other work that is pressing... For example, I have been invited to present a paper in Tunisia on November 10th, chaired by the First Lady of Tunisia, and they will be setting it up so I can present in person on Skype to the conference. So even though I cannot travel to Tunisia, I am presenting a paper on SignWriting there nonetheless! But I was just invited, so I only have a few days to write the presentation....it is a last minute invitation.... And I am honored to present there - Regarding this very nice listing, what about your dissertation, Ingvild? Certainly your dissertation used SignWriting too! Thanks once again for helping with this...I hope this helps Jessie - Val ;-) ------- On Nov 3, 2010, at 4:57 AM, Ingvild Roald wrote: > There are many academic references to Sign Writing out there - here are just a few: > > > Flood, Cecilia Mary. 2002.

We have been assigned a research project, and need to find academic and professional articles that have been published about our topic, in this case Valerie Sutton and SignWriting. I am having trouble because the only sources I can find are Wikipedia and signwriting.org. I need to find books or articles that have been published. I have read almost everything on signwriting.org, but I cannot use this as a source for my project. > > > Hope this is more clear and answers your questions. > > > - Jessie > > > > Hello Jesse - > > You mentioned that the publications cannot be on SignWriting.org. > > > > SignWriting.org is a library that lists publications and newspaper articles and so forth, that are either about, or mention, or are written in SignWriting... > > > > Take a look at this web page that gives links and downloads to newspaper articles on SignWriting - > > > > Can you use these articles in your annotated bibliogprahy? > > > > SignWriting in the Press > > Newspaper & Journal Articles About SignWriting > > http://www.signwriting.org/library/journal/index.html > > > > If you download number 2 on that web page, the bibliography entry would read something like: > > > > Fox, Margalit, New York Times, April 14 2002, "Written Notice: Another Language for the Deaf". > > > > Is the New York Times acceptable to your work? > > > > and what about 300 page dissertations? for example on signwriting.org, on > > > > SignWriting for Research > > http://www.signwriting.org/forums/research/ > > > > Number 1 and 2 on that web page has two dissertations on SignWriting - one 300 page dissertation by Dr. Cecilia Flood from the University of New Mexico, and one in Arabic, with a partial translation into English, by Dr. Abushaira at Jordan University in Jordan.
