• • Elaboration demonstrating examples of types of DSs, including entity, handling and SASSs, and their use in context
• • Elaboration noticing how signers visually reconstruct their own or another’s talk and/or actions using all elements of CA which includes eye gaze, NMFs and role shift, for example, identifying when the signer changes character or reacts in a particular way
• • Elaboration using verb and noun lexicalised signs to describe a person, animal or items, for example, FOOTBALL WHERE PT+f GYM The football is at the gym.
• • Elaboration contributing examples of signs that tell when, where or how a verb happens, such as WANT LUNCH NOW I’d like lunch now. < PRO1(PL) RUN FAR We have run far. PLEASE COME HERE Come here please. PRO2 QUICK FINISH You finished quickly.
• • Elaboration noticing the relationship between the location of referents and the direction of some indicating verbs, for example, role-playing CALL PRO1, CALL PRO2
