17-International signs

17 - "What are the characteristics of the gestures and signs that are being used?"

These gestures have the distinction of being international. Internationalism is guaranteed by the fact that most come from the collection of 1500 international gestures published by the World Federation of the Deaf in 1975 in a book by the name of Gestuno (this book has editions in English, French, Japanese, Arabic , etc..)

The signs have the generic name YoGoTe (Japanese syllables that mean respectively "World", "Language" and "Hand"), they were developed by us and they allow us to recognize and make with relative ease the gestures. In this way, we can do what we call "glossed texts", in which a text in a certain language is accompanied by international signs for the main ideas, and thus can be shared with people from different countries and languages.
