<div>You are no longer showing the language when you do this, though. Now you are creating some sort of pictorial story in a strange set of symbols, but it is not sign language anymore. If that is your aim, then get an artist to do a picture-story/comic book. <br><br>cherie<br></div>

<div>I would have to agree, one could show two people on the road as an interpreter, or one could show two people as a language, which means the interpreter is not the person being conveyed, but the two people he or she is talking about. </div>

<div>An interpreter can convey by posture that there are three people present, but if one writes out the story, one can flesh out the details and actually show the three people involved, putting each of them in a different lane, just as one one in Dance Writing. <br><br>--- On <b>Fri, 9/18/09, Ingvild Roald <i><iroald@hotmail.com></i></b> wrote:<br></div>

Actually, I do not agree with Val that the job is to write what is seen on the video. That will not get the message of the original story across. This is maybe one of the reasons we really need to sign languages: that the video translation is not a full translation form English (or Greek) to ASL, but a partial one. With the written form, we are able to bring in the second person, not visible in the video. <br><br>Thus, I prefer the first version, with the 'invisible' person present<br><br>Ingvild <br><br><br><br>> From: sutton@signwriting.org<br>> To: sw-l@majordomo.valenciacc.edu<br>> Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2009 12:20:23 -0700<br>> CC: josignj@aol.com<br>> Subject: [sw-l] invisible person in ASL storytelling...<br>> <br>> SignWriting List<br>> September 16, 2009<br>> <br>> On Sep 15, 2009, at 12:32 PM, Valerie Sutton wrote:<br>> > I am watching a video (if you can see the video it is the Bible, <br>> > Mark 07_31-37
