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
