CULTURE/LANGUAGE

What is FROZEN TEXT?

Something that will be interpreted that does not change, such as the Pledge of Allegience, or the hymns in the church. The interpreter can study frozen texts and be fully prepared to interpret them. Unlike most interpreting situations, since the frozen text doesn't change, the interpreter always knows what is coming next. http://www.signinghispraises.net/terms.html

What is a Gloss?

Gloss" is what you call it when you write one language in another. 

When you gloss, you are not translating (transliterating) the language--rather you are attempting to transcribe it (write it down or represent it in text form) word for word or sign for sign. When we see someone signing and we write it down or type it out sign for sign and include various notations to account for the facial and body grammar that goes with the signs--we are using "ASL GLOSS." http://www.lifeprint.com/asl101/topics/gloss.htm
