Understanding

Systems of language - Elaboration 1

- understanding that signs can be iconic in a number of ways, such as representing a whole object or part of an object

- identifying signs with different levels of iconicity, for example, those that are fully transparent, translucent or arbitrary

- recognising that signed languages show more iconicity than spoken languages because they are visual not auditory, and that most referents have visual features

- identifying and classifying examples of spatial modifications of nouns and verbs in a video text using video annotation software, for example, ELAN

- glossing a text independently, identifying what signs are used, any NMFs, and any examples of DSs and CA

- beginning to use annotations in a glossed text to show spatial modification of nouns and verbs
