<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-GB">During my
doctoral work I realized how the choice of sign influences/ is influenced by
the conception of the signer, in my cases children.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-GB">As
Norwegian Sign Language may use different sign for “Earth”, I saw that the
“flat-earthers” used the sign showing “the whole wide world”, while the
“spherical-earthers” used a ball-shaped sign.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-GB">Similarly,
those who believed the Sun is spherical and that the sun’s rays are not a
physical part of the sun always used the circle sign for the Sun. Those who
believed that the sun’s rays are physically attached to the sun, used the
“sun-is-shining”-sign<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-GB">Also, the
