glossing

SignWriting List
October 20, 2008

This is great, Cherie. Maybe you can help Tricia. Tricia wrote to me  
out of the blue today, very frustrated with the glossing system that  
is a part of her ASL class I believe...obviously Tricia can explain it  
better than I can...and so I wondered if Tricia learned how to use our  
Translate feature in SignPuddle if that would help? It probably is  
something totally different, but then again, maybe the ASL class would  
enjoy seeing another way to write ASL!

Tricia...go to SignPuddle Software, to the ASL Dictionary...

SignPuddle Online

ASL Dictionary
http://www.signbank.org/SignPuddle1.5/index.php?ui=1&sgn=4

Once you open the ASL Dictionary, click on the Translate icon on the  
left of the screen and write in an English gloss into the Translate  
program...

Up comes different signs written in SignWriting that are the  
equivalent to the English glosses you typed...then ask us questions...
