use knowledge of modelled grammatical structures and formulaic expressions to compose and respond to texts, using appropriate textual conventions

Elaborations

• 1 identifying and using examples of each type of DS in an Auslan text; entity DS, handling DS and size and shape specifiers (SASS) DSs
• 2 experimenting with the use of CAs to represent words, thoughts or actions of a referent, through eye-gaze change, body shift, head orientation change, and matching facial expressions
• 3 using fully-lexical signs that are in the dictionary and have a standard handshape, movement and location to compose signed texts
• 4 understanding that some partly-lexical signs cannot be listed in a dictionary in all forms as they change their form each time they are signed, such as DSs
• 5

  understanding that sometimes Auslan signers have information about how a verb happens through NMFs not separate signs, for example,

  WRITE

  -carelessly, and this is known as manner

• 6

  using adverbs to modify adjectives using NMFs, for example,

  REALLY

  or

  VERY

  , whereby changes in mouth patterns and movement of signs can intensify adjectives, for example,

  RED NMF:EYES-WIDENING , PLEASE NMF:SMILING-HEAD-NODDING, TALL NMF:EYES-WIDENING

• 7

  expressing timing of verbs such as signing

  WATCH

  versus

  WATCH DS:SLOW-REPEAT

  , or using lexical signs

  WATCH AGAIN

• 8 understanding that parts of a sentence can be signed simultaneously in Auslan, making it hard to establish word order
