If you are checking and consulting<br>about your choices - then they are NOT just subjective choices, I think<br>they are well-informed choices. Also the 'flagging' entries is a very<br>good idea. Flagging 'experiment' 'practice' etc etc.<br><br>However the 9 variants of spelling the same sign in ASL
provide<br>interesting data about the evolution of an orthography - that's my point.<br>It would be a shame not to keep record of it. (Imagine very old texts of<br>written English..nowadays these texts are ground for research and shed<br>light on how written orthography English evolved).<br><br><br>> Dear Maria,<br>><br>> Right now we are working on a Wikipedia, and I use the ASL Puddle to<br>> compare entries. When I see a difference in a sign, I post that sign for<br>> discussion to ensure that what I write or read is actually accurate and<br>> the clearest spelling. Sometimes there are nine different entries for a<br>> given gloss, and I have to choose the one that to me is most accurate.<br>> Granted, that is entirely subjective, which your linguists may be<br>> disgruntled at, but if, over time, a body of literature grows in<br>> Wikipedia, more and more users will be using familiar writings that have<br>>
become the "default" user-most-friendly writings. <br>><br>> If one sign were written expressive, and another receptive, they are the<br>> same sign, they are reverses of each other, but if a sign is written that<br>> shows my right hand doing something and using a left arrow to show its<br>> movement, that is wrong on its face, factually wrong, not simply<br>> stylistically variant. You can't write an EEE sound with an AY, it can't<br>> be read. A movement up is not a movement out. <br>><br>> Those are the kinds of edits that I have been looking at in LIBRAS. The<br>> published LIBRAS dictionary has descriptions as well as pictures, and if<br>> the arrows and palm facings don't match the description or the video, then<br>> the video and the description win. I'm going through the published<br>> dictionary, no more than 4 or 5 signs at a time, to put into the<br>> SignPuddle the most accurate
transcription I can. In working with the<br>> editors of that published dictionary, they knew that there were a number<br>> of errors that would require a teacher certified in the system to note and<br>> correct before they put them on line. That's what I am doing, and if I am<br>> confused, a take the time to check with three or four native users of<br>> LIBRAS before I even put it in the SignPuddle. <br>><br>> I don't remove things out of any dictionary without consulting the<br>> writers, but if something seems to be an "experiment" I am going to flag<br>> them as "experiment" so I can leave them alone, particularly if I don't<br>> know the source, don't have any kind of definition, and they look like<br>> scribbles. <br>><br>> The SignPuddle is an amazing resource, and I don't want to see it less<br>> accessible, but there must be a way to separate out a "real" sign that has<br>> been vetted and
compared to one which is just a "stab in the dark". My way<br>> is to quote the source, to put my name on it so that people can contact<br>> me, and try to put a clear definition of the sign, which sometimes fails<br>> to completely convey a translation. <br>><br>> i expect the same courtesy from others, don't put something in the<br>> SignPuddle as an "experiment" without stating so, and be willing to put<br>> your name on it. Think of it as an exercise board, if you must, but I'm a<br>> teacher, and part of my job is pointing out things that are "errors" not<br>> simply "variations."<br>> <br>> Charles Butler<br>> <a rel="nofollow" ymailto="mailto:chazzer3332000@yahoo.com" target="_blank" href="mailto:chazzer3332000@yahoo.com">chazzer3332000@yahoo.com</a><br>> 240-764-5748<br>> Clear writing moves business forward.<br>><br>><br>> ________________________________<br>> From: MARIA

right - but this does not mean that SignPuddles are not a<br>> rich
resource in themselves. They store written sign language entries not<br>> just by linguists but by common folk, and this makes all entries in<br>> SignPuddle an invaluable resource - since for a writing system to be truly<br>> a writing system it needs to be accepted, and written by a community of<br>> language users. If SignPuddle was a linguistic database, it would lose its<br>> uniqueness. What makes SignPuddle so strong - paradoxically is what<br>> linguists criticize as weak - the way data is entered into Puddle in such<br>> a non-academic way : i see this a major strength :)<br>><br>> I see the public SignPuddles as editing tools for anyone using SignWriting<br>> who wishes to write and store SignWritten entries in a particular<br>> language.<br>><br>> However my question now: are the public SignPuddles truly public? To have<br>> an editor in a public SignPuddle 'respelling' and deleting entries to
me<br>> indicates that they are not very public. It might be a good time to<br>> re-think what the aims and purposes of Public SignPuddles are. I can<br>> understand that an editor would have to remove 'mistakes' etc..but the<br>> mistakes are his/her interpretation of mistakes - at this early stage the<br>> development of a writing system..mistakes may very well NOT be mistakes,<br>> just different ways of writing the same thing..sometimes very different<br>> ways but still the variance of writing would provide data which is<br>> valuable for anyone studying the evolution of a writing system such as<br>> SignWriting.<br>><br>> Maybe what could be done is that the public SignPuddles remain or become<br>> truly public, so that all entries are allowed to stay there..BUT then of<br>> course I understand that the actual editors (with their different reasons<br>> and targets for using SignWriting) cannot use these
the Public SignPuddles<br>> as they are, but they would take whatever they wish from the public<br>> SignPuddles to their semi-private puddle (that can be viewed but not<br>> edited).<br>><br>> Hope this makes sense.<br>> Maria<br>><br>><br>><br>><br>>> SignWriting List<br>>> September 27, 2012<br>>><br>>> Hello Stefan and everyone!<br>>> Thank you for your message below.
