Hi,<br><br>I have not been able to transfer everything we are getting to SignPuddle yet. We do what are called elicitation sessions and have to write what we elicit into a Data Notebook by hand during the session with the Language Consultant. It is a requirement of the class to write it at the time we "hear" it. So, I currently have not put sentences into sign puddle, but they are all in my Data Note Book for Paraguay Signs.<br>
<br>I am also teaching Sign Language Phonetics and this is where I was trying to get the brackets. What I do is make the sentences in Sign Text then e-mail them to myself without saving, because the sentences are from videos of Thai sign, African sign, Spanish sign, etc. I also rely on the load signs into sign text after e-mailing heavily if I need to change something. I did not want to save all these in the ASL Puddle, so I just have not been saving them. I also use Sign Puddle to make the dictation tests, which just has about 7 random signs from various languages, so it is not really a story or necessarily ASL and thus I do not save them.<br>
<br>In short I was trying to do the brackets in Sign Text.<br><br>Thanks,<br>Stephen Jones<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jul 23, 2009 at 11:25 AM, SignWriting <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:signwriting@mac.com">signwriting@mac.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I am currently doing phrases that require facial expression to be attributed to a whole phrase. As I was looking through SignPuddle I could not find the brackets I used to use for that. Are they there and I just missed them or where they removed?<br>

I went into your Paraguay SignPuddle Dictionary to search for a phrase written in SignText...<br>

Can you give me the name of an entry that has a phrase or sentence written in SignText? Or are you writing your phrase like an individual sign? I need to know this to show you how to construct the brackets...<br>
<br>
Or are you in American Sign Language, writing the phrase?<br>
<br>
If you are using SignText to create a document, I would construct the brackets one way, but if it is a phrase written like one sign in a dictionary, then the brackets can be constructed another way...<br>
