Features of the representation of the Kazakh sign language with the use of gestural notation: compiling the dictionary of gestures of the KSL based on the notation of L.S. Dimskis

Abstract

In the article we give the description of the features of the functioning of gestural speech as a specific communicative system. As well we present a brief description of the gestural notations used to record the structure of gestures in writing. The rationale for the choice of gestural notation by L.S. Dimskis in relation to the Kazakh sign language is offered. The dictionary of frequently used gestures of the Kazakh sign language has been compiled using this sign system.
