SignWriting List April 17, 2000 Hello Everyone! I suspect I am the "sports student" grin....but that is OK! Yes, your word descriptions were great... Now we need to learn some SignWriting. Most of the time, arms do not stretch straight forward in SignWriting. Writing the real motions of swimming is usually not what happens when signing, however, either your student Danny is doing some "gesture" to illustrate something, or else DGS does stretch the arms straight forward. Certainly not all signed languages are the same...and I have written some signed languages in the South Pacific that did everything, including squatting and going down on the knees etc... Therefore I am now going to introduce you to "Stanley The Stick Figure": | |||||
