More handspeak goodies
There are a lot of great websites, like lifeprint (run by Bill Vicars, an icon in Teaching ASL) or ASLcore (which I just discovered and omg I'm geeking out over).
But one of my favorite is handspeak. You'll probably see a lot of links or references here, and its because there are always goodies on the site. Jolanta Lapiak, the person who runs it has at least a decades worth of material (I think, don't hold me to the time estimate). There's everything from a dictionary to articles and videos on childhood language development.
Today's goodie is an article on the history of sign language writing which breaks some things down, and it also has a graphic by Adrean Clark, which I find fascinating (I don't know what year it was put out, but I'll keep hunting and label it if I can)
I love pouring over these evolutions and comparisons. We're really looking at history, in both the graphic and the site, that should be preserved for years down the line.
