Valerie asked : > Do you feel a facial expression is necessary with this sign? If so, > how would you write it? ;-) Thank you very much for your question ! Well, - I´m not sure. When I did the transcription some weeks ago I thought that the facial expression is not necessary with this sign. But now - ;-) ) just because you ask for the possibility - I can imagine that this lifting of the eyebrows or the wrinkled forehead can serve as a kind of indicator. In DGS many sentences start like this - lifting the eyebrows. So I looked up the chapter 10 (Facial Expressions) in your wonderfull "Lessons in SignWriting" Textbook and Workbook and compared the different possibilities. I am not able to identify all the differences . Would be great to have a typical foto for every kind of variation. !!! (I can offer some fotos of facial expressions - if you want to ! So I would understand what is the difference between Eyebrows up - down - inside - outside -- who is able to show all kind of eyebrowmovements. ?? ) I picked the eyebrow -up expression - I´m interested what other people would choose if they had to !;-) (The wrinkled forehead is an alternativ because the eyebrows of this signer look almost alike on so many frames ?? ) Look forward for your answers All the best Stefan ;-) | |||||
