Understanding

 Systems of language - Elaboration 1

- noticing that in a stretch of connected signing a sign will often be produced differently to the way it is shown in a dictionary

- identifying some NMFs in a signed text

- recognising that some signs can occur with a standard mouth gesture and that these are sometimes called multi-channel signs

- thinking of body-anchored signs, such as head or why, and signs that are not body anchored, such as HAVE or STOP, and recognising that non-body anchored signs can be located in space around the signer

- identifying some iconic signs and considering how they are iconic

- exploring with support software such as ELAN to annotate signed texts with some grammatical marking such as NMFs

- ‘reading’ and transcribing glossed texts, including indicating understanding that there are markings to show NMFs and spatial locations
