Key Grammar (pages 245-247) Designating locations for non-present people If you want to talk about more than two non-present people, who are not in any rank order, you designate a location for each person along a horizontal arc in front of you starting on your non-dominant side. When discussing each person, be sure to orient signs toward the designated location when discussing that person, i.e. their chores be sure the personal pronouns and possessive adjectives agree with the location when talking about the person One other person Two other people Three other people
Rate how you feel doing the chore M 160 5:4, p. 463
ASL PHRASES PART I We will be learning ASL Phrases and common ASL signs that are frequently used in the American Deaf Community. In the handout, you will see the words – “ASL Gloss” which is a process used to represent ASL signs, not represent the meaning in English. Sometimes, the signs cannot explain it meaning alone in English, for instance, the ASL gloss, VOMIT, has no equivalent meaning in English.
ASL PHRASES PART I ASL has only one idiom – “TRAIN-GOES-BY SORRY” – which is similar to the English idiom: “Missed the boat.” It means the information presented will not be repeated due to your lack of attention. "What's up?" "What's happening" "How are you?" **Use this sign with somebody you know. I didn’t mean to say that, that’s not what I meant, "What are you doing?", “What did / will you do?” "Have you been to ...?" "I really hate that." Fascinating, interesting.
ASL PHRASES PART I Talk to yourself, a sense of isolation. Blame no one else than yourself. Fall head or heels in love with. Excited, Yippee Need to stop talking right now, that’s enough talking, zip it Similar to English, "Cool!" I don't get it; over my head. I completely forgot about that, can't think of it now.
ASL PHRASES PART I Puzzled, confused. Can’t hear a thing, completely deaf. Not far, a hop skip. I wonder about you, check you out, size up. Hero, role model to look up to Conceding, look down at. Watch over, protect.
