Sign Language Writing System: A New Approach to Books Written in Sign Language

Sutton Sign Writing(SW)是一种独特的在纸上‘写’符号的系统。使用软件可以有效地编写日语手语(JSL)，只要对软件进行一些轻微的修改，就可以改进软件，使其能够更准确地编写世界上任何手语。此外，Sw具有类似于日文汉字字符的构形。当在一项试验研究中将短波介绍给聋哑儿童时，他们似乎很容易描述想法，并且对书写手势有积极的反应。因此，通过“写”和“读”手语，可以为聋儿的识字教育开辟一条新的途径。

Sutton Sign Writing (SW) is a unique system to ‘write’ signs on paper. Japanese Sign Language (JSL) can be effectively written using SW and with some slight modifications to the software, SW could be improved so that it could write any sign language in the world more precisely. Furthermore, SW has formations that are similar to Japanese Kanji Characters. When SW was introduced to deaf children in a trial study, it seemed rather easy for them to describe ideas and they had a positive reaction toward writing signs. Therefore, there can be a new approach to literacy education for deaf children by‘writing’ and ‘reading’ sign languages written in SW.
