Excellent job, Stuart! Thanks for doing the .GIF...I really appreciate it....
And you wrote the sentence "What is your name?" in ASL exactly the
way I would have written it. There is only one small difference,
which I have attached.
Through experience writing a lot of ASL, we determined that there is
a slight pause before the "what". It is as if the "your name" is
established in space, marking it with a tiny pause at the end. Then
the question "what" and the question mark at the end follows...
So the pause (equivalent to a comma in English) is the only
difference between our two writings ;-) |
