Content descriptor apply knowledge of grammatical structures and features to predict meaning and compose a range of texts that contain complex structures and ideas

Elaborations

• • Elaboration applying signs as interjections or discourse markers, including fillers and conjunctions, for example, using spread handshape to pause, hold or replace voicing um or the sign COINCIDENCE
• • Elaboration describing how short, signed texts use space – real space, topographic space, abstract space, viewer space and diagrammatic space – and recognising locations for present referents, non-present referents or abstract referents that do not exist in space
• • Elaboration developing the use of composite utterances, that is, those that have elements of CAs, DSs, points and fully-lexical signs in the same utterance
• • Elaboration identifying instances of DSs and their type, such as entity, handling or SASSs in increasingly complex Auslan texts and using these in own creation of texts
• • Elaboration using appropriate CAs according to the context in an example of constructed dialogue
• • Elaboration applying the different types of verb modification, such as spatial and directional, number of referents, the action over time, manner and intensification
• • Elaboration understanding how verb modifications work as part of referential cohesion, for example, a signer establishes one referent on the left and then looks that way
