SignWriting List
January 6, 2013

Hello Stefan -
Thanks for this message. I love your work and it is great software too!

So you are writing the sign for QUOTE, rather than use the old Quote symbols that are two diagonal lines? // ……. \\

I like that too…seems more natural for written sign languages…

We are enjoying the Signbook.app, by the way, and I will give some feedback later - hopefully this week -

Val ;-)

You can  see that I often quote by performing the gesture for quote. This happens at the exact spot where the citation should also appear in the written record.

>> So how do we write quotes in vertical writing? That is a good question…I would tend to write the sign for QUOTE in the beginning, before the quoted phrase, and then place double bracket after the sign for QUOTE, and then write the phrase…I can create a diagram of this later today and post it to the SW List -
