Dear SignWriting List Members: I get technical questions that might be of interest to you. Here is a recent question: Question: "When the sign includes a tongue movement, can that be written? For several signs, it sounds/looks like they're saying la-la-la-la-la as they sign, an up-and-down tongue movement. Others have back-and-forth movements with the tongue. Ideas or suggestions?" Answer: Yes! Of course we write tongue movements. I have posted examples on our SignWriting Web Site: https://www.SignWriting.org/face100.html Look at the last row of tongue diagrams, entitled "Tongue Movements". Notice the "wiggly lines". They show "wiggling" side to side, and up and down. The last example (the 6th example) shows what you need for the "la-la-la" movement. It is the tip of the tongue touching the roof of the mouth, and moving up and down. All of you are welcome to ask me technical questions, and I will post answers on the web :-) Have a wonderful day!
