SignWriting List June 4, 2013 Hello Bill! This is a wonderful link - to videos that interpret English idiomatic phrases into ASL - that is not easy and I am glad to have this information - thank you!! http://digitalcommons.unf.edu/asleimats/32/ If anyone wishes to write these videos, I would suggest starting a series of documents in the ASL Literature Puddle: ASL Literature Puddle http://www.signbank.org/signpuddle2.0/index.php?ui=1&sgn=5 You could call the phrases something like "English Idioms in ASL" and then perhaps link to the videos on the other web site - Thank you, Bill!

English uses a lot of idioms and even though this page gives ASL video equivalents, I don't know if Deaf use them. > > http://digitalcommons.unf.edu/asleimats/32/ > > I do know that as a late-deafened person, I struggle to minimize English idioms when signing as it tends to confuse the communication. > > Bill >
