Customization and modifications of SignWriting by LIS users
Historically, the various sign languages (SL) have not developed their own writing system; nevertheless, some systems do exist, of which SignWriting (SW) is a powerful and flexible one. In this paper, we present the mechanisms adopted by signers of the Italian Sign Language (LIS), expert users of SW, for modifying the standard SW glyphs and increase their writing skills and/or represent peculiar linguistics phenomena. We identify these glyphs and show which characteristics make them äcceptable" by the expert community. Finally, we analyze the potentialities of these glyphs in handwriting and in computer-assisted writing, focusing on SWift, a software designed to allow users to modify glyphs.
