Determines when iconic gestures are produced from a character (1st person) versus an observer (3rd person) point of view
entry ::= code_set [op code_set]* code_set ::= null | code [set_op code]* null ::= "X" code ::= "1" | "3" | "G" | "UC" set_op ::= "/" op ::= ";"
Codes must be drawn from the following:
| Code | Meaning | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | First person | Gesture is produced as though the gesturer is performing the action or embodying the object |
| 3 | Third person | Gesture is performed as though the gesturer is looking at the action or object from a distance |
| G | Global | Concept is one that cannot have a 1st person perspective |
| UC | Unclear | Perspective of gesture is unclear (could be either 1st or 3rd person) |
| X | Null | Gesture is non-iconic (i.e. deictic, conventional, or functional acts) |
Ops are drawn from the following set of operators:
| Op | Meaning |
|---|---|
| ; | Separates all codes |
| / | Used to combine representational codes into single units |
None
Persp is dependent on the G_Type Column.
When a representational gesture is coded in the G_Type column, its corresponding code in Persp should always be chosen from 1, 3, G, and UC. The null code X is reserved only for non-iconic gestures as they lack iconic perspective by definition.
None
