Role shifting

Tue Jul 10 17:51:15 UTC 2007

This is just a quick note on your question, Cherie, about writing role shifts. I had written it with in my writing of Cat in the Hat on SignPuddle. I don't know if I used the unit line correctly because I couldn't connect it. I hope it is clear. Maybe that will give you some ideas.

Subject: [sw-l] Cat in the Hat 13

"Now look what you did!" 
Said the fish to the cat. 
"Now look at this house! 
Look at this! Look at that! 
You sank our toy ship, 
sank it deep in the cake. 
You shook up our house 
And you bent our new rake. 
You SHOULD NOT be here 
When our mother is not. 
You get out of this house!" 
Said the fish in the pot. 

I've got some serious doubt popping up about roleshifting, and how I'm showing it... Do I need to show the eye gaze and shoulder shift with each sign? I have been putting more eye gaze in here thean I did before... Also when I am shifted to one sign, and signing right like in this passage for example, I have been writing the signs off to the right... which makes some signs more difficult to write. Should I be keeping them centered on the face, as if my shoulders were square, but putting in the shoulder lines?
