The full sentence structure in ASL is [topic] [subject] verb [object] [subject-pronoun-tag]. Topics and tags are both indicated with non-manual features, and both give a great deal of flexibility to ASL word order. [37] Within a noun phrase, the word order is noun-number and noun-adjective. ASL does not have a copula (linking 'to be' verb). [38]

Sutton SignWriting, or simply SignWriting, is a system of written sign languages.It is highly featural and visually iconic: the shapes of the characters are abstract pictures of the hands, face, and body; and unlike most written words, which follow a primarily linear arrangement, SignWriting is structured two-dimensionally.
The communication mode can translate full sentences and the conversation can be automatically translated with the use of the 3D avatar. The translator mode can also detect the postures and hand shapes of a signer as well as the movement trajectory using the technologies of machine learning , pattern recognition , and computer vision .
