<div>Excellent answer, it will be a challenge for my work with Ethiopian Sign Language as their abjad is so different than the Roman alphabet.</div>

First, the "SignSpelling Sequence" must be established. It is "the order of symbols within EACH sign...like
spellings for words in spoken languages - the "spelling order" of symbols has to be understood by the computer, so the computer can "sort" the dictionary by Sign-Symbols...<br><br>To establish the "SignSpelling Sequence" for each sign in SignPuddle, we ask the writers of the signs to click on the SignSpelling button to the right of the signs they have written (must be logged-in to do this). The writer tells the computer what symbol in the sign should come first, and what symbol should come second etc, when finding signs in a list...<br><br><br><br>2. Second, once the sign has its SignSpelling established, then, when someone searches for a list of signs in SignPuddle, using the Symbol Frequency or Search by Symbol or Search by Signs searching methods, all of the signs that have a SignSpelling Sequence established in the dictionary will be listed sorted by the alphabetical order of SignWriting , called the Sign-Symbol-Sequence...<br><br>3. If a sign does
NOT have a SignSpelling entered in the dictionary, and there are lots of them, then SignPuddle places them in the list "as best as it can based on a semi-good sequencing that is automated"...but so far SignPuddle really needs the writers to put in the SignSpelling Sequence they feel is best manually, because the automated choices are not as good as they should be -<br><br>I am hoping in time that we can improve the automated listings without the manual work, but we are not there yet, because there are still other theories as to which SignSpelling Sequence is right and I am not sure myself - I think all of our theories need to be tested on lots of people - can they find signs quickly in a thick dictionary sorted by Sign-Symbols? that kind of research needs to be done with lots of skilled signwriters to see who can find signs in a thick dictionary the fastest, based on different sorting methods -<br><br>So Charles, I am working on updating SignBank, a
dictionary publishing program for SignWriting, to use the ISWA 2010, and SignPuddle will be using the ISWA 2010 in about a month or so, and when all the programs are using the ISWA 2010, you will be able to find a list of vocabulary in SignPuddle, export the list to SignBank, and print dictionaries sorted by Sign-Symbol-Sequence from SignBank. Someday SignPuddle will also have the print formats built in, but not yet ;-)<br><br>You can see a few old examples of these dictionaries produced by SignBank years ago on this web page:<br><br><span><a target="_blank" href="http://signbank.org/dictionaries/">http://signbank.org/dictionaries/</a></span><br><br>Numbers 2, 3 and 5 are all PDFs that were made from a combination of SignPuddle and SignBank - SignBank is simply a database program that accepts the signs from SignPuddle into different print formats for printing dictionaries both directions -<br><br>I will read your messages more carefully tomorrow morning
and look forward to it - I am sorry I must run right now ;-)<br><br>Talk to
you tomorrow -<br><br>Val ;-)<br><br>------<br><br><br><br>On Dec 11, 2010, at 4:05 PM, Charles Butler wrote:<br><br>> I understand your "search by word" for practical reasons, I guess what I am looking to would be a future in which signed language dictionaries are just that, signed language dictionaries, not bilingual dictionaries in a spoken language with signs attached to them.<br>> <br>> You wouldn't teach English grammar in French, nor French grammar in English unless you intended that a person never be fluent in English alone or French alone. <br>> <br>> So in teaching ASL, or LIBRAS, or Ethiopian Sign Language, I'm trying to truly think in a signed language, in projection, so if I want to find a sign, I want to look it up by handshape because I may see someone using the sign and I have no idea, even in context, what it may mean.<br>> <br>> I got so frustrated when I was taking ASL at Gallaudet University and the

With the growth of the system, handshapes have been added without a logical progression so that missing ones may be inferred but there is no order to them. <br>> <br>> For a complete dictionary, in sign order, then pushing "Sign Frequency" will print them by group and in order
of the numbers of the codes, but that coding is not consistent across the board.<br>> <br>> When I teach the system, I teach it in an order, Group 1, then Group 2, then Group 3, then Group 4, but i also attempt to put the actual handshapes in a logical order, and at the moment that varies from sign language to sign language depending on which handshapes are actually used in the language. <br>> <br>> I published, some time ago, a proposed system to put <br>> <br>> 1) handshape<br>> 2) orientation starting from facing the reader, half left or right, back of hand, face up, forward half left or right, face down<br>> 3) rotation from vertical rotating clockwise.<br>> 4) --- second handshape would fit here if more than one hand is in the sign, orientation, rotation<br>> 4A - I put location here, Valerie puts it at the end, from her experiments with Deaf looking up signs. <br>> 5) --- contact (touch, strike,
brush, rub)<br>> 6) --- finger movement<br>> 7) --- vertical movement<br>> 8) --- horizontal movement<br>> 9) --- curved vertical movement<br>> 10) --- curved horizontal movement<br>> 11) --- circles<br>> 12) --- speed<br>> 13) --- facial expressions<br>> <br>> So, for example, the following are in Sign-Symbol-Sequence Order for me. All two handed signs come after all one handed signs for the same orientation. <br>> <br>> = Group 1, primary orientation, no movement<br>> <br>> = Group 1, primary orientation, movement vertical, <br>> <br>> = Group 1, primary orientation, first hand, group one, primary orientation second hand, movement horizontal, facial involvement (ALL TWO HANDED SIGNS COME AFTER ONE HANDED SIGNS)<br>> <br>> = Group 1, primary orientation, first hand, group 5, back of hand, second hand, movement horizontal (GROUP 5 comes
after GROUP 1) <br>> <br>> = Group 1, second orientation, 45 counter clockwise, circular motion, facial involvement<br>> <br>> <br>> - Group 1, first hand, second orientation, 45 counter clockwise, Group 1, crooked handshape, finger movement, finger movement. Is this before the one above from the finger movement?<br>> <br>> <br>> (SKIPPING A FEW)<br>> <br>> <br>> = Group 5, first hand, forward, half, 45 counter clockwise, Group 5, second hand, forward, half, 45 clockwise, held in between, forward twice <br>> <br>> Group 5, side forward, half, 45 counter clockwise, Group 5 side forward, half, 45 clockwise, held in between, twice forward twice, slow<br>> <br>> The Sign Symbol Sequence may order the signs if each of them has been ordered, but I have not sufficiently experimented to see if one enters signs and then orders them by
one's chosen order whether the "symbol frequency" will follow that order. <br>> <br>> <br>> From: Stefan Wöhrmann <<a rel="nofollow" ymailto="mailto:stefanwoehrmann@GEBAERDENSCHRIFT.DE" target="_blank" href="mailto:stefanwoehrmann@GEBAERDENSCHRIFT.DE">stefanwoehrmann@GEBAERDENSCHRIFT.DE</a>><br>> To: <a rel="nofollow" ymailto="mailto:SW-L@LISTSERV.VALENCIACC.EDU" target="_blank" href="mailto:SW-L@LISTSERV.VALENCIACC.EDU">SW-L@LISTSERV.VALENCIACC.EDU</a><br>> Sent: Sat, December 11, 2010 12:08:45 PM<br>> Subject: AW: Creating a sign language ordered dictionary<br>> <br>> Hi Charles,<br>> <br>> can you explain?
