Intellectual Context and Literature Review<br />

The follow<strong>in</strong>g is an example of the movement-hold notation for American Sign Language<br />
developed by Liddell and Johnson, as shown <strong>in</strong> Valli and Lucas (1995): “The sign WEEK as<br />
shown on page [37] <strong>in</strong> a simplified version of the Movement-Hold notation.<br />
“The sign WEEK beg<strong>in</strong>s with a hold (H), with the right hand (for right-handed signers) at<br />
the base of the left hand. It then moves (M) to the tip of the left hand and ends with a hold <strong>in</strong><br />
that location. The change <strong>in</strong> the sign is <strong>in</strong> the location of the active hand, from base to tip of the<br />
passive hand.”<br />
