<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face="Courier New"><span lang=EN-GB
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'>Well – here in Germany
the mouth patterns take quite a part of the information of a sign in DGS
(German Sign Language) When I started to write my fist SW-documents I
felt confused that even I myself as the scribe of these documents could not
identify some signs after a short time – And my deaf students have had a
very hard time to beliee that we are not playing some kind of guessing game
– smile – <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face="Courier New"><span lang=EN-GB

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face="Courier New"><span lang=EN-GB

doubts that SW will function at all within this context – <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face="Courier New"><span lang=EN-GB
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'>But it happened that I
invented at the same time a special Speechwriting-notation which is a very
welcome support in any context of articulation training... and usefull for
other reasons as well. (If German deaf students learn to pronounce english
words “Woehrmanns SpeechWriting” is a wonderfull support and
teaching tool) <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face="Courier New"><span lang=EN-GB
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'>Ok – I started to
define several mouthsymbols that had been already part in the good old
SW-Dos – software DOS SW4.3 – and over the time we have
established a whole set of mouthsymbols that go along with what we can see if a
hearing person is speaking. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face="Courier New"><span lang=EN-GB
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'>It would make sense if these
symbols get some kind of standardization – so that all over the different
SL – it would be the same symbol if somebody shuts the mouth to
“speak” “M” or opens his mouth and
protrudes his lips to say “U” ... or “sh” <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'>Nevermind – in order
to support my deaf students to read and understand SW-document fluently and to
improve their level of the spoken language (!!!) it has been a great advantage
to develop this set of SW-mouth patterns. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
