Subject: research on turning head while signing?<br>
<br>
Hi, all. Many years ago (I'm long retired now), I thought I saw some research<br>
in ASL whereby a subject was sitting on a stool, and signing. The stool was<br>
twirled slowly so that the signer's body and head turned away from the observer,<br>
but he continued to sign. He therefore altered his signing locations because his<br>
head/body were no longer facing directly toward the observer/listener.<br>
<br>
For an example: The sign in ASL for HOME is made on the right cheek by a<br>
right-handed signer. But as the signer turned to the right, he eventually was<br>
turned so much that he now made that sign on his left cheek so that the<br>
person to whom he was signing would be able to see the sign being made.<br>
[I hope I'm describing this properly!]<br></blockquote></div></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Not that I know anything about this type of research, but reversal of HOME strikes me as odd, because HOME involves no directionality. It would be even odder, IMHO, if the right-handed signer continued using their right hand but transferred the location to the left cheek; I would consider that a different (non-existent AFAIK) sign. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Modifying <i>directional</i> signs would be an entirely different matter. It would be interesting to see if there's a difference between signs whose direction is based in the physical world -- e.g., with visible referents, such as YOU-GIVE-ME -- and signs referring to locations previously established in the signing space, such as for people who are not present, e.g. SHE-GIVE-ME.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
Does anyone remember any such research? It's quite possible I saw it in<br>
England in 1989, but I'm pretty sure it was an ASL speaker, so I'm thinking<br>
it was probably the USA.<br>
