Thank you @ASLIuk and @JennyKoehring for making the fab #GoingPro18 happen. Brilliant presenters throughout, as at the AGM #CPD + a great opportunity to get to know my interpreting family better!
Rather than inserting IS signs in your practice at home, use more iconic #BSL - @AndyCar70 @ASLIuk #ASLI2018
Welcomed language policing from @AdamCSchembri, who shares my obsession with mass (LESS) vs. count (FEWER) nouns - @ASLIuk #ASLI2018
IS #1nt strip signs down to unmarked handshapes. The top three (as in many natural SLs) are - @AndyCar70 @ASLIuk #ASLI2018 (credit: Linguistics of #BSL, Sutton-Spence & @BencieWoll 1999)

With expansion and reduction techniques, IS #1nt prioritize clarity over fidelity, accuracy and detail - @AndyCar70 @ASLIuk #ASLI2018
Leverage Rh-Q constructions to spotlight the *next* bit as the primary focus or important information - @AndyCar70 @ASLIuk #ASLI2018

IS requires more crispness and clarity with our production, and a demarcated "snapback" to neutral expression after a high-affect section ("We dinnae do it!") @AndyCar70 @ASLIuk #ASLI2018
IS lessons for #BSL #1nt benefit from the close and open processing between teams and in the feedback loop with the DHH audience - @AndyCar70 @ASLIuk #ASLI2018


"By definition, IS #1nt *have* to adopt freer interpretations, because you cannot rely on mouthing or fingerspelling" - @AndyCar70 @ASLIuk #ASLI2018
A "pet project" of @AndyCar70 is to ask natural SL users their signs for 1) morals 2) ethics 3) integrity 4) dignity (for the latter 2, RESPECT would be reductive) - Perhaps hearing spoken language users are fuzzy on the differences? @ASLIuk #ASLI2018
Factors influencing IS services: 1) limited lexicon necessitating fewer signs and more grammar, and 2) the economic practicality of IS vs. multiple natural SLs @AndyCar70 @ASLIUK #ASLI2018
Next up: @AndyCar70 to speak on International Sign (featuring @AdamCSchembri for #linguistics commentary) @ASLIuk #ASLI2018

Resounding approval from @ASLIuk crowd for presentation on English #linguistics from @AdamCSchembri. Please, sir, may we have some more? #ASLI2018
My ears appreciate how @AdamCSchembri uses "you guys" and examples from African-American Vernacular English! #ASLI2018
An "exploratory" presentation from @AdamCSchembri to suss out what kind of English #linguistics content would benefit #BSL #1nt at @ASLIuk #ASLI2018
Represent! @AdamCSchembri of @Eng_Lang_UoB @unibirmingham about to drop some #linguistics for #BSL #1nt at @ASLIuk #ASLI2018

Really frustrated I can’t make the @ASLIuk conference today. I hope it goes really well for everyone that attends #ASLI2018 #asliconference #speakers #conference #signlanguage #interpreters
