Abstract:
Formal SignWriting covers the fundamentals of Sutton SignWriting, focusing on its encoding system that transforms the spatial and temporal aspects of sign languages into a structured, character-based format suitable for computational processing.

Key topics include character sets of Formal SignWriting in ASCII (FSW) and SignWriting in Unicode (SWU), along with the design and application of two-part words that encapsulate both time and space in written signs.

Software tools that support the creation, visualization, and manipulation of SignWriting text are highlighted. These tools enable the generation of SVG and PNG images, the embedding of SignWriting into web pages, and the precise searching of sign language databases using regular expressions.

The use of query languages and transformations for efficient searches and regex operations demonstrates the power and versatility of Formal SignWriting in linguistic research, education, and digital communication.

Resumo

O Formal SignWriting abrange os fundamentos do Sutton SignWriting, com foco em seu sistema de codificação que transforma os aspectos espaciais e temporais das línguas de sinais em um formato estruturado e baseado em caracteres, adequado para processamento computacional.

Os principais tópicos incluem conjuntos de caracteres do Formal SignWriting em ASCII (FSW) e SignWriting em Unicode (SWU), juntamente com o design e a aplicação de palavras de duas partes que encapsulam tempo e espaço em sinais escritos.

As ferramentas de software que dão suporte à criação, visualização e manipulação de texto SignWriting são destacadas. Essas ferramentas permitem a geração de imagens SVG e PNG, a incorporação do SignWriting em páginas da web e a busca precisa de bancos de dados de línguas de sinais usando expressões regulares.

O uso de linguagens de consulta e transformações para buscas eficientes e operações regex demonstra o poder e a versatilidade do Formal SignWriting em pesquisa linguística, educação e comunicação digital.
