Understanding

Systems of language - Elaboration 4

- recognising that texts are made up of one or more clauses, which have one or more signs in them, which together make meaning

- looking at short recounts or narratives in Auslan and identifying information necessary to communicate with others such as who was involved or when and where the event happened

- recognising that different signed texts serve different purposes and discussing and comparing these purposes, for example, a procedure is to explain how, a narrative is to entertain

- identifying how signers use space to track participants through a text, for example by pointing back to an established location to refer to a noun referent

- identifying the many ways signers can refer to the same referent in a text, for example by using DSs, points or list buoys, and noticing how such strategies help maintain interest and support understanding
