Understanding
Systems of language - Elaboration 3
- exploring different semantic types of verbs in a text, for example by
showing how:
doing (WALK, WRITE) and saying (TELL, CALL-OUT ANNOUNCE?) verbs in narrative
texts give information about a characters’ actions
sensing (SEE, THINK) or possessing (BELONG, OWN) verbs indicate what characters
think, feel or own
relating verbs identify or describe a noun, for example, HAVE in PRO3 HAVE
LONG-HAIR
- understanding how DSs and adverbs can give extra information about an activity
- noticing that some signs modify the meaning of verbs, such as READ CAREFUL and
that these are called adverbs
- contributing examples of signs that tell
when a verb happens (IN-2-WEEKS PRO1 HOLIDAY or WANT LUNCH NOW)
where a verb happens (PRO3 RUN FAR or COME HERE)
how a verb happens (FAST or SLOW or PRO2 QUICK FINISH)
- understanding that, in terms of meaning, a basic clause represents: a
happening or a state (verb), who or what is involved (noun or nouns) and the
surrounding circumstances (adverb or adverbs)
- knowing that signing involves either telling with signs or showing with DSs
and periods of CA
MAN WALK SLOW
DS(point):man-walks-slowly
CA:man-swinging-arms-nonchalantly
