October 21, 1999 After Joe sent the "translation message", Lourdes responded: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From: Lourdes Tollette To: "'Joe Martin'" Cc: "" , valerie sutton Subject: translation Date: Thu, 21 Oct 1999 15:27:34 -0400 Joe said: Anyway, I'm wondering about this prediction; Naive readers who know Sign should be able to read signwriting. Yes, to a certain extent, at elementary levels of cheremic awareness. Systematic instruction on the correspondences between cheremes and SW pictogens would be required to raise that awareness level. Means: I predict that people who Sign, but have never learned signwriting, should be able to read signwriting. (a little anyway.) (**and by the way, Lourdes, if you have any opinions on this I'd love to hear them. ) He agrees with me-we think some of the symbols need to be taught. You'd need to be taught that the little plus sign mean to grab something. But we think that people should be able to figure out much of the signwriting symbols without being taught, because they are mostly little pictures. Deaf, hearing or aphasic, could all do this. Lourdes wrote: I got it. I understand what you try to telling me about this. And to tell you about this above you wrote. Let me say somethng. I read this above. I am naive sign and never hear or see signwriting before. When I first saw the signwriting symbols in 1998 and I catch signwritng and understand it right away. Sabrina (8 yrs old.), My daughter is hearing and know ASL since she was baby and her first time to see signwrite last year and she know all that before I explain to her. Sometime the symbols is not clearly (like the movement arrows ) but I 've got to remember arrows up, down, forward and back because I have to look closer like thick or thin ("across" movement curving up and forward, which mean start to make thick from the front (near chest) to forward (away from chest) to become thin and "area" movement curving back, which mean start away from chest to start thin to back near chest to become thick). I am sure Val know what I am talking about arrows stuff. Something with that wth arrows that I must remember... So far I can able to read all of the signwriting symbols.
