Elaborations
- • Elaboration recognising that non-body-anchored nouns can be located in space and identifying instances of this, for example, HOUSE, FISH
- • Elaboration identifying how people or objects around the school or environment can be represented by DSs, for example, talking about someone who is not there, describing a part of the playground
- • Elaboration discussing the functions of different pointing signs, such as pronouns, determiners and locatives
- • Elaboration noticing that single-digit numbers can be separate lexical items or merged into other signs (numeral incorporation), such as those for ages, for example, AGE-YEARS(FIVE) , or adverbs of time, for example, WEEK-AGO(THREE)
- • Elaboration noticing the relationship between the location of referents in real space and the direction of some indicating verbs in a text
- • Elaboration knowing that adverbs modify the meaning of verbs, such as READ CAREFULLY
- • Elaboration understanding that signing involves a combination of signs, CAs and DSs to convey detailed information, for example, The man walked slowly can be expressed as MAN WALK SLOW or PT+f DS:MAN-WALKS-SLOWLY or CA:MAN-SWINGS-ARMS-NONCHALANTLY
