Hi Uta,<br>
<br>
I'm making a new thread for this discussion and opening it up to the
group.<br>
<br>
Category 3 of the ISWA 2010 is the dynamics.<br>
Here is the text used to describe this category.<br>
<br>
'<span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);
font-family: -webkit-standard; font-size: medium; font-style:
normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal;
letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start;
text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal;
widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;
-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; display:
inline !important; float: none;">Dynamics Symbols are used to give
the "feeling" or "tempo" to movement. They provide emphasis on a
movement or expression, and combined with Punctuation Symbols
become the equivalent to Exclamation Points. The Tension Symbol,
combined with Contact Symbols, provides the feeling of "pressure",
and combined with facial expressions can place emphasis or added
feeling to an expression. Timing symbols are used to show
alternating or simultaneous movement.</span>'<br>

<br>
The "Tense" symbol adds a feeling to the sign.<br>
<br>
The whole sign would need to be considered to understand if the hand
stops after movement, or if the hand is moved under tension, or if
the hand doesn't move.<br>

<div dir="auto">I don't like this fact because it's important
because of the sign search that each symbol has only one
meaning. Therefore we decided to choose the 3rd meaning
because that seems to us to be the most important. For 2-hand.
There are 5 properties. One of them is a resting hand. Since
the information is unimportant for own but right hand, we have
agreed that symbol ~ property "resting recessive hand" to
order. </div>

are the advantages? </div>
