Elaborations
- • Elaboration showing where and how a signer uses space to establish a location, for example, through the use of points, non-body-anchored signs or fingerspelled words
- • Elaboration recognising and practising using locations for present referents, non-present referents, or abstract referents that do not exist in space
- • Elaboration recognising that fully-lexical signs may be found in the dictionary and have a standard HOLM, and partly-lexical signs are not listed in a dictionary in all forms
- • Elaboration intensifying adjectives through the use of NMFs such as HOT , signing with great emphasis, and depicting a wide-eyed expression for EXTREMELY HOT , or signing TOUGH with great exertion to show VERY TOUGH
- • Elaboration distinguishing between the citation form of a sign and the overlaid adverbial NMF, for example, MAN SPRINT (base form), MAN SPRINT NMF:INTENSITY (manner added)
- • Elaboration showing that in CAs, a signer can shift into the role of another, or themselves at a different time, through eye-gaze change, body shift, head orientation change, and matching facial expressions
- • Elaboration viewing a signed text and documenting time codes for entity, handling and SASS DSs

- • Elaboration using structures to show a sequence of time, for example, WORK ALL DAY, FUTURE GENERATION
- • Elaboration applying knowledge of conjunctions such as PLUS, IF or BUT to join clauses and create cohesion
