<div>So, I will try to create some posters, and some linguistic researches to show things like,</div> <div> </div> <div>Verbal transpositions in ASL grammar.</div> <div> </div> <div>Word order in ASL grammar.</div> <div> </div> <div>Duplicative grammar particles with ASL examples.</div> <div> </div> <div>I am working on transcribing an interpretation for a friend of mine from the Hebrew song.</div> <div> </div> <div>"I believe in G-d even when G-d is silent". The phrase "God is silent" does not work idiomatically in ASL to express the actual idea.</div> <div> </div> <div>When the interpreter got it, she talked with the poets, and the performers, and signed it.</div> <div> </div> <div>ME BELIEVE GOD, PEOPLE HURT KILL CRY CHILDREN HUNGRY, WHY, (looking upward) WHY (looking for response).</div> <div> </div> <div>Silence is here not lack of speech, but lack of discernible response. </div>
<div> </div> <div>This is where we can really show the power of both ASL and SW to express non-linear translations. </div> <div> </div> <div><BR><BR><B><I>GerardM <gerard.meijssen@gmail.com></I></B> wrote:</div> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">Hoi,<BR>Charles I think you are onto something good. It is intellectual types that prevent progress and think that another way of expressing sign languages is just around the corner. SignWriting just needs to get recognised for the brilliant thing it is .. and all the time SignWriting has been there. The best way of winning the game is to be better at it. SignWriting is good at what it does and the best way is to beat them at their own game..play the game and show and tell: "SignWriting just works". <BR>Thanks,<BR> Gerard<BR><BR>Hmm a bit combative for a guy that does not sign and does not read SignWriting ,,

know it yet...but <BR>when he learns SignWriting later...then his opinion will have <BR>importance... <BR><BR>I have never met Jake, but I look forward to meeting him soon!<BR><BR>My question is to the ASL users...if the course Jake teaches is good <BR>ASL, and is a helpful course to people without SignWriting, then it <BR>will be a wonderful tool for us to write it in SignWriting, which <BR>will then be an added help to Jake's students...<BR><BR>People in the Sign Language worlds do not realize there is a way to <BR>write their language yet, and this would be a good way to collaborate <BR>with Jake, with his permission of course, to spread the idea that <BR>there is a way to write the language now...<BR><BR>But first I want the opinion of the ASL signwriters as to whether <BR>this course would be a good one to work with...<BR><BR>There are several courses in ASL that only use video, and we could <BR>contact any
one f them and ask permission to write those courses in <BR>SignWriting, giving an added support for ASL students... <BR><BR>So I am just curious about opinions on the ASL course and should we <BR>contact Jake about adding some SignWriting?<BR><BR>All people, when they first hear about SignWriting, are surprised, <BR>but once they learn it I have never met a person who is against <BR>it...the only people who are against it, are those who do not know it...<BR><BR>Val ;-)<BR><BR>----------<BR><BR><BR><BR>On Dec 12, 2007, at 11:00 AM, GerardM wrote: <BR><BR>> Hoi,<BR>> They advertise that they do not have weird and wonderful <BR>> drawings ... and that you as a student do not need them :) Now <BR>> obviously, SignWriting is writing ASL but I am sure that Jake does <BR>> not know about SignWriting and if he does I am interested in his <BR>> opinion about SignWriting ... :)<BR>> Thanks,<BR>>
