Appendix B. Handshapes

Texte intégral

1Handshape refers to the configuration or physical form/shape of the hand (s) during the production of a sign. Below you will find the written descriptions, as well as drawings (from the viewer’s perspective), of the primary handshapes used in the Simplified Sign System. The signer’s right hand is depicted. (See also “Tips for Using the Sign Lexicon and Sign Index” in Chapter 10, Volume 2, for a more detailed discussion of each handshape, along with any acceptable variations that may exist.)
