Thanks for this great comment. Yes. You are right... This.... a) - writing and spelling movements that describe signs of a special SL .....is called "SignWriting". This.... b) - writing and spelling movements ....is called "Sutton Movement Writing". But having said that, do not take these terms too fanatically, because there are several ways of approaching SignWriting...it can be written phonetically or phonemically...but it is definitely based on signs from specific signed languages. And it will take generations before specific spellings will evolve in each respective signed language. As a movement notator, I have never personally ever written a document directly in a signed language - I only transcribe what others say because I am not a teacher of signing, nor am I a native signer...but others who know a signed language are writing SignWriting, not Movement Writing - gets complex, doesn't it?!! smile.. -- Val ;-) ----------------------------- Valerie Sutton SignWritingSite: https://www.SignWriting.org To Post A Message To The SW List: SignWriting List Archives: https://www.egroups.com/group/sw-l |
