When I write ASL/SW, I SEE the signs in my head and write what I see. Sometimes i have to actually sign the signs, because I am not as fluent with SW as I am with English.<br><br>Not sure if this is what you wanted, but thats my offering...<br><br>cherie<br><div><span><br></span></div><div><br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; margin-top: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> <div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"> <div style="font-family: times new roman, new york,

<div id="yiv5201854068"><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Hi everyone! I'm going to be giving a paper at our annual
anthropology meetings this fall on a panel about how to best represent
visual aspects of linguistic phenomena. <br></div>I want to talk about
the shift from receptive to productive writing in SW. I'm going to
suggest that there are interesting theoretical and methodological
lessons in this shift for scholars who want to transcribe visual aspects
of communication, even if they aren't using SW per se (though I also
want to make more scholars in my field aware of how useful SW can be for
this purpose).<br>
</div>To that end, I was wondering if list members might be willing to
talk with me about their feelings about productive writing with SW. Did
you initially write receptively? If so, how did you shift? (or do you
still write receptively sometimes?). How do you feel that writing
productively affects the way you choose to write (or how you read other
people's writing)? <br>
</div>I'd love to hear answers to these questions and anything else you
think is relevant about this aspect of SW, particularly as it relates to
your own ways of using the writing system (for teaching, for research,
for translation, for poetry, etc). <br clear="all">
