Abstract:

Visual manifestations of an object that moves from one place to another are common in sign languages. Here, we offer an overview of techniques for conveying motion of an entity based on an examination of storytelling and poetry in seven sign languages. The signer can use embodiment and/or classifiers to show translocating movement of an object, or they can adjust the dynamic properties of signs themselves, including the size of the signing space, rate of movement, trilled motion of manuals and nonmanuals, repetition, and adding a zigzag component to the movement path. Additionally, we found one technique in German Sign Language (DGS) that uses a manual sign to indicate great speed or movement covering a large distance.

摘要：

物体从一个地方移动到另一个地方的视觉表现在手语中很常见。在这里，我们基于对七种手语讲故事和诗歌的检查，概述了传达实体运动的技术。签名者可以使用实施例和/或分类器来显示对象的易位运动，或者他们可以调整符号本身的动态属性，包括签名空间的大小、移动速率、手册和非手册的颤音运动、重复和在移动路径中添加锯齿形组件。此外，我们在德国手语 (DGS) 中发现了一种技术，它使用手动符号来指示高速或长距离移动。
