<DIV>Additional question: would a sign designating a fraction (one-third,
two-quarters etc.) be a compound sign or two separate signs?</DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Again, some questions have spouted in a debate ... Would
someone be so kind to help with the following:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1. What terminology is in use for pronouns in Sls? There is no difference
between personal and demonstrative pronouns, at least in Slovene SL. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>2. What is the definition of idiomatic signs? In Slovenia, mostly signs
which can't be translated with a single (spoken) Slovene word are thought of
as idioms, but I don't think that's quite correct (e.g. the sign EVERY-DAY or
ALL-NIGHT-LONG). </DIV>
<DIV>And what would be the difference between idioms and compound signs (e.g.
TEACHER, consisting of TEACH + PERSON)?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>TNX a lot!</DIV>
