Rare Methods in Reading Time 1 Concepts of Midday and Midnight, as Reference Points, in a Home Sign Language Ali Izanloo Ferdowsi University of Mashhad Shahla Sharifi Ferdowsi University of Mashhad Abstract Research conducted on time has generally been around the how and stages of development of time knowledge in various individuals, and it has been implicitly assumed that there is only one method of reading the clock. This deaf person reads the clock based on two reference points: midnight and midday. And finally, by referring to the connection between the religious times for performing prayer and the concepts of midday and midnight, it proceeds to explain this method. The method of reading time in Fatemeh's sign system is based solely on two reference points: midnight and midday. In fact, the main goal was to investigate whether the concepts of midnight and midday are used as reference points in reading the clock in any of these languages or not? Based on this research, apparently in none of these languages are midday and midnight used exclusively as reference points for reading the clock. Given these two points, it can be concluded that Fatemeh's spoken language knowledge up to the age of two played no role in the emergence of this specific method of reading time. By choosing midday and midnight as reference points, Fatemeh can easily determine the time for performing the five daily prayers. " Fatemeh always uses the relative reading method and expresses time in relation to two reference points, midday and midnight.
