Reduplication of the signs may also occur to emphasize the degree of the statement.Some signs are produced with an exaggeratedly large motion, so that they take up more sign space than normal.This may involve a back-and-forth scissoring motion of the arms to indicate that the sign ought to be yet larger, but that one is physically incapable of making it big enough.…
