Manually coded language
According language accompanying gestures (abbreviated LBG ) denote the gestures that are executed simultaneously on each spoken word (see phonetic language ). This differs from the sign language. LBG is in other words " gebärdetes German " or " German in the sign code" in reference to the Anglo-Saxon language "signed English". The sign sign of LBG are a reduction in sign language on isolated concepts in order to perform a " 1:1" implementation of the country - spoken language in sign characters.
According to speech -accompanying gestures Grammatikverdeutlichung
Because of the dependence on the phonetic language grammar additional artificial gestures have been created, for example for products and various adverbs, for their expression, sign language usually has other means for LBG. Inflections and increases are correctly executed at LBG often completed with " fingered " ( finger spelling ) endings. It is mainly used in schools for people with hearing impairments in German lessons, to make the German grammar are visible, in exceptional cases, as a means of early intervention for hearing-impaired, which may be thereby enabled to attend a mainstream school.
The sentence " The car drove over a bridge " consists, for example, in German Sign Language 3 character ("Auto ", " bridge " and " cross the bridge "). " The ", " car ", "drive", "past", " on ", " one ", gefingertes " e" and " bridge ": With perfect execution of the LBG 8 single sign characters are used for this set. In verbs and adjectives, the basic shape is each behaves and in addition the deviating ending.
Translating a set of spoken language in LBG, so no word is lost. In sign language, however, articles, conjunctions, and the like are often omitted. Structures such as Future Perfect Conjunctive or can not be transferred into sign language 1:1. There is, therefore, people who are of the opinion that the learning of sign language makes it difficult to learn the German grammar as language acquisition. While the sign languages has its own grammar, LBG are a visualization of the spoken language basically. Hearing impaired children learn from an early age LBG, have therefore usually no problems with the spoken language grammar, at least not more problems than their peers guthörenden.
Using the LBG
In general, hard of hearing and deaf people use the LBG. That use from birth deaf or people with profound hearing loss LBG, is rather the exception. Most of the deaf and those with profound hearing loss are educated either orally or by using sign language. LBG may represent a balance between oral upbringing and education with the sign language in conjunction with written language.
According language Supportive gestures
Due to the verbosity and possibly to a fast spoken text to follow, spoken language Supportive sign the individual characters and inflections will take the LBG Sign in practice often used ( LUG), embezzle, etc.. Therefore, always consider whether it is about the content aspect or the grammar aspect in the transmission.
According language Supportive gestures ( LUG) to support content
According language Supportive gestures are a reduction in sign language on isolated concepts in order to make the same spoken language spoken content for deaf and hard of hearing people to understand. A complete " 1:1" Implementation of the conversation or speech content, and the grammar is not carried out here.
In carrying out the LUG are modeled three single sign character used for the set shown here: " car ", "drive", "bridge". They are behaving as isolated gestures in the order of the phonetic set and so support the content aloud linguistically expressed.
LUG are especially useful for Spätertaubte moderate and hard of hearing people with extensive knowledge of spoken language.
Media
As sign language was not yet recognized as a distinct language with its own grammar, gestures were for isolated terms, eg "Auto" or "house" cataloged in photo collections. These selective character form the LBG and LUG- sign - body basis.
