AW: [sw-l] spelling question 30 - squeeze" motion

[Stefan Wöhrmann]

Hi Valerie, Ingvild and sw-list

 

well from my point of view I would prefer the "easy-to-read-version"
especially if you think of children, students and hearing SL-learners. 

 

There are no "hidden" ideas behind this obvious description. An excellent
support to remember the performance for this sign.

Here are three possible writings that I might use.

 

In the first example, the dot is not necessary but just added  

information. The second and third examples remove the first position.  

The bending of the fingers holds the meaning in the sign...the bent  

fingers show the "result of the squeeze" motion...so we write that  

plus the arrow pulls or pushes the hand to the side...

 

It has taken us at least 20 years in ASL to find the best way to write  

some numbers...and some of our writings are very abbreviated, and not  

so easy to read for those who do not know ASL, so I understand that  

you need to find a short way to write numbers, especially for tiny  

page numbers etc...so for tiny page numbers I would think the third  

one in this example would be the best...

 

Hope this has been helpful. Happy to be in discussions again!

 

Val ;-)
