When you are doing a transcription, you are deliberately doing what is actually signed. When you are writing a book, you have the opportunity to change the presentation to some "ideal" form. When you are doing a film of signed speech, and out-take may be a whole sentence, not just a word in isolation. I'd expect that.<br><br>Charles<br><br><br><br><b><i>"K.J.

</style> <div style="text-align: left;">Agreed, Charles; on the other hand, we're not publishing the transcription exactly as I'm doing it now. This is just the rough draft of the story, a transcription that is as close as possible to the actual video, and then it will go through an
editing process in which the "out-takes" will be cleaned up before it gets published. And as for the "best possible example of a sign from that signer" - that sign in what context? A sign may be signed differently in isolation than it is in a sentence, just like spoken language, and sometimes the isolation form isn't the best way to write that word/sign. Lots of factors involved in transcription . . . anyway, my point is that what I'm writing now will be edited and cleaned up before it's published, just like a movie or a spoken-language book is edited before it's published. We're just not at that stage yet.<br><br>KJ<br></div><blockquote><hr id="EC_EC_stopSpelling">Date: Fri, 16 May 2008 18:55:53 -0700<br>From: chazzer3332000@yahoo.com<br>Subject: Re: [sw-l] ASL Dictionary & the Translate feature<br>To: sw-l@majordomo.valenciacc.edu<br><br>For a story, for myself, I'd try to get the best possible example of a sign from that signer.
