Elaborations
- • Elaboration applying various types of clauses such as questions, topicalised sentences, negation or conditionals and recognising that these often co-occur with particular NMFs
- • Elaboration identifying the ways that signers add spatial elements to communication, for example, using DSs from a viewer's perspective to refer to the same referent throughout a text
- • Elaboration applying the knowledge of where and how DSs are used, through close and distant focus, to move from one frame of reference to another, for example, zooming in or showing the whole scene
- • Elaboration describing real or imagined experiences at a different time, using CAs to shift from one role into another, through eye-gaze change, body shift, head orientation change, and matching facial expressions
- • Elaboration applying citation form of plain verbs and indicating that verbs change when depicting more than 2 people
- • Elaboration recognising that nouns can be pluralised by locating them repeatedly, regardless of their original location
- • Elaboration using both directional and locational indicating verbs, for example, GIVE PRO3 and GIVE PRO1 ; and OPERATION (cochlear implant versus appendix operation)
Show 4 more elaborations
- • Elaboration intensifying adjectives using NMFs, for example, signing HOT with great emphasis and depicting wide-eyed expression for EXTREMELY HOT, or signing TOUGH with great exertion to show VERY TOUGH
- • Elaboration knowing that, typically, signers use DSs to show spatial relationships/prepositions, not separate signs such as ON or UNDER
- • Elaboration using conjunctions such as PLUS , IF or BUT to create cohesion in a narrative, recount or procedural text
- • Elaboration identifying when and how some verbs and nouns use the same sign but change the movement in a regular way making noun-verb pairs, such as SCISSORS versus CUT-WITH-SCISSORS
