Shoulders orientation

Hello Nancy!
Thank you for answering Dali’s question. And thank you for pointing us to your beautiful site ASLGospel.org, where there are thousands of pages of documents. Can you tell us a chapter in a specific book where we can look to see an example? - If we can create a screen-capture of the written conversation, and post it here on the List, or post the link to the document here, that will help us see an example - thank you for your help -

Writing sign language conversations have been written differently by different writers. I have not been able to keep up with it all in the past few years - I would like to document it all - so I welcome the discussion - It is true that it is still experimental, but I think in time, as more and more advanced documents become available for reading, that it will become standardized.

Dali - do you have a video that you can point us to, to show us the Tunsian Sign Language you are trying to write?

Val ;-)

> correction - depending on the circumstances, sometimes the sign is written straight forward, other times it's in the direction you would sign as an interpreter, with shoulders shifting directions. I don't know what happened to this conversation, but it seems most writing is experimental at this point. I invite you to read if you are interested, ASLGospel.org -- many conversations in these Books.

>> Hello everyone!
>>  
>> I have one question which I am all the time thinking about.
>> When using signwriting, and let's imagine we do have two people, one on left and the other one on right. I am the story teller/ interpreter. :D
>> When writing, I can use the shoulders turning left to transfer the person on my right's words and vice versa.
>> As I turn my shoulders, shall I continue writing as if the person was in front of me but the shoulders turned away, or I have to write the shoulders turning away and the whole sign as well???
>> In my writings, in order not to be confused and not to make the writing more complexed, I write as if the person were before me and I only change the shoulders orientation!
>>  
>> Does any one know how to help please??? 
>> Thank you all!!!!
