AW: [sw-l] SignWriting game from France...

Tue Oct 23 07:12:56 UTC 2007

Hi Charles, 

can you show to me the „top view line“  or are you talking about the symbol
showing two shoulders left and right to the head – indicating the head seen
from top down? 

Just curious about terms and definitions of symbols 

Stefan ;-) 

Anyway I guess you want to describe the hand palm facing the signer but not
palm up – is that correct? Do you always prefer the double stemmed arrow –
even for left and right movements --? I prefer the single stemmed arrow in
this case

This isn't top view.  This is the NOSE line, not the top view line.  The
hand faces the nose and then twists on the wrist a quarter turn.

Shouldn't this be front view rather than top view?

He may need "pee" and "shit".  The French language (and I have noticed,
Portuguese, are much less body shy than English.  ASL has signs for both and
uses them freely.  I noticed in Brazilian grammar schools that showing
cartoons for hygiene was much less prudish than American English.  "Toilet"
doesn't cover all the shades of meaning he needs.  "Nao urine do chao"
:(don't pee on the floor)  was in almost all of the college and high school
restrooms.

Hello everyone -
As you know I live in San Diego, and San Diego has wild fires right 
now. My home is safe at the moment, but I do have some friends 
staying with us who had to evacuate their home...we are watching TV 
to see if their home will burn or not...it is an incredible 
experience which is a repeat of the Cedar fires back in 2003...when 
we went through something similar...

Since I work out of my home, I am thinking through what hard drives 
to take with me if we have to evacuate too...but I doubt that will be 
necessary...The air is thick with smoke and raining ashes...

Anyway, thank you, Yaelle, for your message below...

Again, I need to ask you...what do you mean by English signwritings? 
British Sign Language, or Australian Sign Language, or American Sign 
Language?...all are different signed languages located in English- 
speaking countries...

If you mean American Sign Language, then look under TOILET in the ASL 
SignPuddle...that might be the sign you are looking for...or BATHROOM 
maybe...

Val ;-)
