Task 9A
Use ASL proficiently within expressive interpreting tasks, including choice of sign
vocabulary, use of sign modification to show variation in meaning and grammatical
function, and appropriate use of space, facial expression, and body movement.
Knowledge and Skill Statements
Knowledge of:
1. Phonemic structure
2. Morphologic structure (e.g., semantics)
3. Syntax
4. Functional pragmatics (e.g., how settings alter the pragmatic function and form of discourse)
5. Volume of lexicon (size of lexicon)
6. Role and function of fingerspelling
7. Sentence boundaries
8. Linguistic structure and principles of English, American Sign Language (and other languages) used during the interpretation
9. Appropriate sign choice
Skill in:
1. Using appropriate registers
2. Sign articulation (phonologic parameters)
3. Fingerspelling and numerical incorporation
4. ASL derivational (morphologic) marking (verb/noun)
5. Appropriate use of non-manual markers (e.g., grammatical, adverbial/adjectival)
6. Using signing space (e.g., referencing, size related to audience, verb agreement)
7. Using the classifier system
8. Using fingerspelling
9. Incorporating affect
10. Using discourse boundaries (phrasing)
11. Using inflective morphology (nuances of meaning)
12. Recognizing sentence boundaries
13. Inflection/intonation
14. Explaining to all parties, if communication breaks down due to language, why the
breakdown occurred
15. Articulating the linguistic structure and principles of English, American Sign Language (and other languages) used during interpretation
16. Selecting sign vocabulary precisely
17. Modulation of signs depending on meaning
18. Using space appropriately
19. Use of fluid expression
20. Appropriate mouthing for English lexicalization

Notes:
Basic Language ASL/Deaf:
Order: Subject-Object-Verb
High context: common experiences
Genderless pronouns
Group/Collective-oriented
Notes:
ASL features:
Derivational nouns: the sign for a verb repeated twice (often smaller) to make a noun)
Derivational verbs: the signs for a noun is done one (larger) to create a verb
parameters: handshape, movement, location, non-manual, palm orientation
Notes:
Register = adjustments in language and manner of speaking to match setting
- frozen
- formal
- consultative: one-on-one professional settings (doctor's office)
- informal
-intimate
Cokely and Baker - Green Books:
Sentence Types:
Question: Wh?, Y/N or Rhet.
Commands: "commands are indicated by stress on the verb and usually involve direct eye gaze to the Addressee. Stress usually involves making the sign faster and sharper than normal."
Conditional: "... the non-manual behaviors include a brow raise, usually with the head tilt in one direction, and, sometimes, the body slightly inclined in that direction... After the condition, there is a slight break (pause) and the non-manual behaviors change to those that are appropriate for the result segment."
Negations: with negative nonmanual or sign
Assertion: usually with head nod or the sign WILL
Topic-Comment Structure: non-manuals used to show topic then statement follows
Relative Clauses: non-manuals - brow raise, backward title of the head and often a cheek and upper lip raise
Cokely and Baker - green books
Time
time line = direction of movement of the time sign shows relationship to present time
number incorporation = THREE O'CLOCK, AGE 7, THREE MONTHS
regularity = EVERY-MONDAY, EVERY-TWO-YEAR
duration = ALL-DAY (puffed cheeks)
approximate/relative time = THEREABOUTS, MORNING, AFTERNOON
Changing speed and repeatition can show both duration and regularity, such as: FOR-MONTHS AND MONTHS. If that phrase is created with slow movement and an open mouth it shows how the speaker felt about that time frame.
Baker and Cokely
Pronominalization
Indexic, possessive, reflexive and demonstrative
Referents on the non-dominant hand
Baker and Cokely - Green Books:
Subjects and Objects
Directional Verbs - movement and placement shows who is giving or receiving the action (subjects)
Recripocal Verbs - two handed showing two people or two groups do the same thing to eachother
Changing handshape to agree with object of action (PICK-UP-CUP vs. PICK-UP ROCK)
Body Anchored Verbs - Cannot be modulated to indicate or agree wtih object or subject
The rule of last mentioned subjection = if a subject noun is established and then a verb is produced it is understood that that the pre-established noun is the subject of the verb
Baker and Cokely - green books
Locatives:
Use two hands to show the relationship between two things. The signer can also convey locative information by using classifiers in a particular larea of the signing space.
Can show where a verb happens.
Pluralization
Can show with specific number signs, handshape or by repeating the noun or verb
Temporal Aspect:
"over time" = repated, cirucular movement
"regularly" = repated, small straight-line movement
"long time" = slower, repated, elliptical movement
"over and over again" = tense straight-line movement followed by an arc-like transitional movement
nonmanuals: mm, puff.cheeks, th, sta
Distributional Aspect:
how an action is distributed
'to all in a group' = sweep of the hand in an arc horizontal plane
'to or from each in a group' = repeated, seperate productions of the verb in an arc
'to or from un-specified individuals' - both hands alternating ina somewhat circular manner
