AW: [sw-l] SignWriting Question...from Deaf Church in Michigan

[Stefan Wöhrmann]

Hi Maria, and SW-List members, 

I thought about all the multiple 12 to 24 groups-spellings. 

In the fist place this is of course not a question of SignWriting since we
write what we see in the performance or what we perform in our mind ... 

So we are discussing "how to sign"   the concept of multiple objects .. 

four students, five, cars, 127 chicken, 236 classroomdoors ...  you would
not want to write or sign every singe ... smile 

In DGS I would rather use a sign for the number followed by the sign for the
"object" - sometimes I see a variation that the "object" sign is performed
two times. 

I am curious - what is the idea of the linguists on our SW-List about this? 

Have a wonderful Friday

Stefan ;-)

I'm trying to make sure I understand the question.

A similar thing that happens in spoken languages is holding the vowels
like for example saying 'wooooooooow'. You could hold the vowel for a very
long time and in that case the 'o' in 'wow' would even be longer than
that. In colloquial English you can write it, just as I did here. However
the standard rules of English do not include a rule for this, and I think
the same would apply for Sign langauges in the future...what do you think?

Maria
