Story Types

Cinematic Stories
• Translate from one non-verbal system that uses visual symbols (the ‘language’ or ‘grammar’ of film) into a verbal system that uses visual symbols (a sign language).
• Action films: most popular choice because dialogue is far less important than visual impact and the skill and enjoyment comes from the way the signers reproduces the visual impact of the film in sign language.

• Have varied themes but their similar origin unites them in a category and it determines the language form used.

Stories With Constraints
• ABC stories: storyteller creates a story in which each successive sign uses the handshape of letters from the manual alphabet, running from A to Z.
• Number handshape stories: follow the same rules as ABC stories but with numbers instead of letters.
• Single handshape stories: constrained by the need to choose signs that all use the same handshape.
• Fingerspelled/signed word characterizations: signers make signs with each handshape related to the meaning to show the character of the word spelled.
• Includes ABC stories and worded handshake stories, where the constraint is imposed by some form of the surrounding written language, and number stories that are constrained by the order of the numbers.
