(CARNEIRO, 2018)<br class="">Another reason is also to differentiate similar signs from people of Male and Female genres with the same signs, so using a symbol with eyelashes can differentiate from the other that does not have it, showing the difference of genres.<br class="">I have already written the deaf with the same sign, more male and female.<br class="">See example (attachment)<br class=""><br class="">I am writing a children's book in SignWriting and in it I make use of sign name (baptism in Libras) with characters with the same sign gender name (male and female) different, in the same context, in this way, write using the symbols of aesthetics certainly facilitates the reading, for identifying and differentiating the characters with the same signs.<br class="">So I'm posting on this list, with the aim of asking for help with opinions, guidelines about what you have accomplished, your experiences in this area, also with references of publications (magazines, books, memos, web, sites, symposia) that address this subject.<br class="">Thank you very much for your attention and support in this important work developed here in Brazil.<br class=""><br class=""> Regards,<br class=""> - Rubens Almeida<br class="">SEDUC/MA, Brazil<br class=""><br class=""><br class="">________________________________________________<br class=""><br class=""><br class="">SIGNWRITING LIST INFORMATION<br class=""><br class="">Valerie Sutton<br class="">SignWriting List moderator<br class=""><a href="mailto:sutton@signwriting.org" class="">sutton@signwriting.org</a><br class=""><br class="">Post Messages to the SignWriting List:<br class="">sw-l@listserv.valenciacollege.edu<br class=""><br class="">SignWriting List Archives & Home Page<br class="">http://www.signwriting.org/forums/swlist<br class=""><br class="">Join, Leave or Change How You Receive SW List Messages<br class="">http://listserv.valenciacollege.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=SW-L&A=1<br class=""></div></div></blockquote></div></body></html>________________________________________________
