Thank you again for your help. Actually, our team has written the transcription of the Noah text as you suggested - the whole story with the signs as they appear, no accompanying German glosses, directly in SignWriter 4.4. (What we sent you before is from a separate word list file for Noah, intended for a short glossary we want to put at the end of the story.) When the team comes back to the office after New Years, we'll send you a SW4.4. and Quicktime version of a sentence. Now, hopefully, you'll get back to spending some more time with your Florida family. with warm greetings, Penny Valerie Sutton schrieb: > > SignWriting List > December 21, 2001 > > QUESTION FROM ZURICH PROJECT: > >some approximation of how much space the SW and corresponding > >German translation for each sentence/paragraph takes, plus an idea of > >how the symbols actually look when all strung together. > > VAL'S ANSWER: > Sadly, your first document will be a problem for you, because you do > not have the whole story typed in SignWriting in SignWriter 4.4. > Instead you typed individual glosses of the signs out of order from > the story, without writing them in the context of the grammar and > structure of the sign-sentences in the story. > > So in the future, type sentences from the beginning, without thinking > in terms of glosses. > > The videotape you sent me is only individual glosses, so I cannot > help you without seeing sign-sentences in their entirety. > > So here is my suggestion: > > 1.
