I was thinking of how I, a Te user, gesture to compare two different events, and I was thinking an Se could paint a different picture (based on how I've seen two Se cousins gesture), that is deliberately intended to convey the photographic element of their memory. I have long been wondering what we could see regarding types in signed languages. Syntactic arguments are assigned a sign space, and I'd like to see what the variation is.
Here is one of my favorite ASL poems, it reads much like a song.
(Maybe I need to find a forum with linguists; I feel like I'm yelling in an echo chamber here. But this is the only site where I feel users are basically on the same page.)
We mark spoken languages in different ways (subject, object, etc.). In sign language, they can mark their nouns in space and then refer back to them that way. It's neat.
And yes, prosody does jump out at me when people articulate. Especially Ti speech!
