The fifth natural language I learnt any conversation in was BSL (British Sign Language)[1]. Later, doing further language training, when I was trying to recall words (particularly in German) I would recall instead a sign. Not an image in my mind of making the sign, but a feeling that if I let them my arms/hands/fingers/face would make a sign. Can you imagine writing through an interpreter without any audio/vocal use at all, as a BSL user could? Without using a word, can you think what your favourite vegetable that isn't a carrot is? Like, can you call it to mind without using the word? [1] Kinda, fwiw I just know smatterings of lots of languages. |
