Hi Erika, Valerie and sw-list
due to so many different
tasks I am late to answer your email.
Just for fun ... I
experimented with this kind of writing showing to people in interaction –
You should be able to read this document. It is kind of movement –
writing. For my students it is so much fun to see a written document of their
way to say “hello” to each other when they meet the first time in
the morning. You will notice that I decided to write expressive/receptive mode in one and the same sign... so your brain
gets information about who of the two is doing what. The person next to you
(down on the line- acts from your point of view as the reader) – The other
person acts as if you are watching him (receptive) ... at the same time...
All best
Stefan
(You can write this document with our powertool for
school the “delegs-editor” just say “new document” ...
ask for the “dgs- dictionary” and type “Begrüßung01
Begrüßung02 Begrüßung03 Begrüßung04 Begrüßung05 Begrüßung06....” later I
will have to rewrite the signs in SignPuddle so that they should fit better in
between the lines ;-.)) )
Then you may want to create a PDF .. you know ... )

Betreff: one more
receptive/expressive question
Hi again! Thanks to all who responded to my earlier question - such
helpful responses! I'll be sure to keep you all updated about the paper.
I noticed something in your replies that made me think of an additional
question: most of you talked about the process of writing and how
expressive/receptive affects that process. Do any of you have any thoughts on
how the choice affects reading? For example, when you read something written
expressively, do you think that it makes you experience the writing
differently? Are you more likely to sign it "out loud" (physically
perform the signs in whole or in part while signing)? To notice spelling or
writing choices that would differ from your own? Does putting yourself in the
writer's shoes make you relate to them more?
Thanks!
Erika
