Paddy,
I'd disagree: the linguistic notation is not a form of written BSL: it
is used specifically to aid the deconstruction and recording of signs.
It is not a method that can be used to read back sign sequences in any
way analogous to reading English (or other languages). There equivalent
of written English would be a videorecording of BSL. There have been
attempts to develop written forms of sign languages, both here and in
the USA but none have proved successful.

....but there are written forms of BSL but which are used more for
linguistic study purposes than everyday communication. See the BSL
dictionary for an example.

Hi,
"Written BSL" this is a tutor for the deaf, or and SLI will convert
written materials into Plain English, or removing the unnecessary text,
but still ensuring that the main meaning of the text is there.
Sorry not a very clear explanation.......but it is Friday after all!

Excuse my ignorance, but what is 'written BSL'?

Hi All,
Just to add my comments to the mix. I have recently secured funding for
the transcription of written materials for a students course, such as
core texts, journals and research materials to be transcribed into
written BSL/plain English.
