<br><font size=3>First...The eyegaze. It is written looking back-diagonal
right now, but I wonder if you want it to look down-diagonal? If so, then
the eyegaze should be double-stemmed arrows...The single-stemmed arrows,
as you know, show eyegaze forward or side or back...movement parallel to
the floor...</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">>ARRRGH! I thought I remembered
being corrected on the eyegaze before, and tried to get it right this time.
Obviously I still need work on eyegaze... Is there an E-lesson
on that?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3>Second, the sign for falling down...does the left hand
really end with the fingers pointing toward the chest? </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">>The sign for falling down does indeed
end with the fingers pointing back at the chest. I sent a video to
you, Val, of the sentence. Its too big to go to the list.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3>Third...I wonder, in the sign for falling down, if you
want the left hand's fingers in-between the right hand's fingers? if so,
then that would be a Brush-Between symbol, which you can find next to the
Brush symbol...</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">>the bent-v (the cat) should be brushed,
but either with the right hand between the left, or in front of the left.
I never sign it the same way twice... ::grin::</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The next time I teach a sign class I
am -SO- going to use signwriting and force the students to learn it...
it really forces to you to focus on exactly what is important in the sign!

<br><font size=3>Cherie from Georgia School for the Deaf wrote:</font>
<p><font size=3 color=#0000dd>This is almost all classifiers... Can you
read it? Did I make any spelling mistakes this time? ::grin:: It would
translate roughly as "I hate it when the cat twines between my legs
and makes me trip."</font>
<p>
<br><font size=3>Hello Cherie and Everyone!</font>
<br><font size=3>What a fabulous SignSentence...THANK YOU for taking the
time to write sentences and to post them to the SignWriting List! This
is really exciting ;-)</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3>Any spelling mistakes are very minor. I hope you don't
mind that I discuss the writing of the signs...It is an excellent exercise
for all of us, to study writing sentences...and everyone makes mistakes
...I know I do...Your sentences are valuable for research to learn where
things are hard and where they are easy -</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3>I noticed three small things...</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3>First...The eyegaze. It is written looking back-diagonal
right now, but I wonder if you want it to look down-diagonal? If so, then
the eyegaze should be double-stemmed arrows...The single-stemmed arrows,
as you know, show eyegaze forward or side or back...movement parallel to
the floor...</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3>Second, the sign for falling down...does the left hand
really end with the fingers pointing toward the chest? If so that is perfect!</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3>Third...I wonder, in the sign for falling down, if you
want the left hand's fingers in-between the right hand's fingers? if so,
then that would be a Brush-Between symbol, which you can find next to the
Brush symbol...</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3>Any weight shifting in this sentence? There is none written,
so I assume not...I wonder if there isn't a brief pause between the second
and third sign...You say: Me standing here...pause? that would be
the comma punctuation mark...</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3>I think this is super! Can others on the List read this
sentence? Val ;-)</font>
