Sign Writing
Václavíková, Jitka ; Okrouhlíková, Lenka (advisor) ; Macurová, Alena (referee)
This bachelor's thesis examines the SignWriting notation system and its application for Czech Sign Language. SignWriting is a notation system that allows for graphical representation of sign languages. Due to the simultaneous articulation in the manual-visual modality of sign languages, sign language notation systems are very different from those used for spoken (audio-oral) languages. Sign languages contain manual and non-manual elements all of which can be represented in SignWriting using pictorial (iconic) symbols. The introductory chapters of this thesis describe the origins and progressive transformation of SignWriting, its basic principles and the method of individual symbol formation. Further, the thesis introduces specific symbols used for the manual components of signs - place of articulation, handshape, movement and body contact, non-manual components of signs - body movement and position, facial expressions and mouthing, and the use of punctuation symbols. The last chapter discusses the use of SignWriting in the Czech Republic and worldwide.
