I am transcribing a video and noticed that the eye-blinks in this video
seem significant. As far as I can tell from the Archives and the
website, we have not discussed that issue online. I am curious if any
of you have written blinks before. For now, I am thinking of just
writing it as closed eyes or two heads with one having closed eyes then
one having open eyes. Sometimes, this happens during the pause between
signs. I have noticed that in ASL, the eyeblinks can indicate almost an
end of sentence or end of thought or transition between thoughts. I
haven't studied this in enough detail to be sure of that conclusion
though.
Any thoughts or feedback on writing this?
Thanks,
Stuart
