Actually, in that video dictionary, it looks like they are pointing
diagonally and specifically to an object. È When there is no object to
point to, I usually either point to the open palm of my other hand
usuing a double movement parallel to the wall plane, or just make the
same movement but without the palm. È That's exactly the same as what's
in the PUDL dictionary. È I would suspect that there may be different
"dialects" for "this" as my ASL hardcopy dictionary defines "this" as
"that", using a "Y" hand and moving it palm down in a double movement
parallel to the wall plane making contact with the open, upturned palm
of the non-dominant hand.<br>
