Content descriptor apply strategies to interpret and convey meaning in signed and visual cultural contexts

Elaborations

• • Elaboration reading and transcribing glossed texts, including indicating understanding that there are markings to show NMFs and spatial locations
• • Elaboration identifying issues associated with translation, and the fact that meaning is not always literal, for example, where English uses the same word run for multiple contexts, Auslan will use different signs that vary according to the context RUN BATH DS:HANDLING TAPS To run the bath RUN-OUT PEN To run out of pens RUN SCHOOL-CAPTAIN To run for school captain
• • Elaboration identifying and explaining multiple lexicalised signs that are not easy to translate into English directly because of culture-specific meaning and history, for example, BA-BA and PAH
• • Elaboration determining and translating the meaning of technical English words into Auslan with the support of fingerspelling patterns, using flow-shapes and rhythms
• • Elaboration identifying non-equivalent Auslan signs/cultural conventions used in Deaf theatre, such as maintaining eye contact and positioning of characters
• • Elaboration translating short texts with preparation, such as children’s fairy tales or a short imaginative film from English to Auslan
• • Elaboration understanding how to modify iconic signs to depict aspect and manner, for example, SWIM fast or SWIM slow, demonstrated through NMFs and speed
