<DIV><FONT face="comic sans ms" color=#bf00bf><STRONG>I have attached the revised EMA alphabet. Then after, I think he is Stefen who raised the right question on Expressive and Receptive way of Signing. ' Which one of them are we supposed to use? Shall we use both. Do they have a meaning difference? I think there is - in Ethiopian Sign Language i.e the same hand shape but different in face (receptive and expressive). Should the EMA be revised in the receptive form? I think I saw some of the ASL manuals show an expressive face also. Hoping to read your suggestions.</STRONG></FONT></DIV><FONT face="comic sans ms" color=#bf00bf><STRONG></STRONG></FONT></DIV>
