I don’t personally do it for ASL, but I know that Stefan does for DGS. It is really the writer’s preference. I personally don’t underline proper nouns just because I don’t really feel there is a need for it. That could just be because I know ASL very well, so I know when something is a proper noun and when it isn’t even if it were to be the same sign in both cases. Something to think about. :-) Adam On Aug 13, 2014, at 5:16 AM, Madson Barreto <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Hi Valerie and everyone > > I just read a Joe Martin's paper and he said about the in Nicaraguan Sign Language that around 1998 has a orthographic rule that said to underline proper names for differ of common names/ simple names. > > I've searched the SW-List archives and I found a 2005' discussion about it. > > So, much time has passed... > My question is: this role is currently using in some Sign Language? > > > We believe it would be interesting for differ Sign Names (proper names in Sign Languages) of common signs.
