Possible outcomes: Person catches the object Person drops the object Person is hit by the object Person sees the object just in time Person is nearly hit by the object

Now watch the video of the girl doing the 5 different outcomes Now watch the video of the girl doing the 5 different outcomes. Watch her role shifting, facial expressions, body language.

Video Notes Tell where you and the other person are located. Stefanie introduces and places the characters with raised eyebrows. She shows agreement by glancing in the direction of the man when referring to him. Name the object. Stefanie shifts to the woman and tells that the ball was thrown, fingerspelling “ball”.

Video Notes, continue Tell how the object is passed between the two people. Stefanie shifts to the woman to show her throwing the ball and tracks the movement of the ball with her eyes as it travels toward the man located on her left. Tell the outcome. Stefanie shifts to the man, changing her eye gaze and body orientation, and resumes tracking the imaginary ball from the man’s point of view. The man’s expression shows that the ball was caught with ease.

What kind of classifier is used? “S” for ball Locative classifier: LCL:S “ball” (A, B, C) LCL:1 “direction of the ball” (E) LCL:1 “ball passing” (E)

Now you try it! You toss an egg to another person. You throw a screwdriver to a person standing on the roof of a house. You throw a long football pass down field to a receiver. You snap a knife with butter on the end at another person. You throw a Frisbee to another person. You swing your leg and your sandal comes off and flies toward the other person.

More to try! You are twirling a chain on your finger and it slips off in the direction of the person sitting beside you. While you are signing you knock your glasses off and they fly toward the other person. You spit your gum out the front window of a car and it is blown back in through the rear window toward the passenger in the back seat.

ICL Instrument Classifiers Shows how a person handles/manipulates an object. Imitate what you will do. Remember to show size and shape of the object. Example: receive flowers, pass the salt.

ECL Element Classifier Movements of “elements” such as air, smoke, water/liquid, rain, fire, and light. You need to show where the liquid came from and where it landed. When showing where liquid landed, you must role shift to the other person to show where the liquid landed and their reaction.

LCL Locative Classifiers Tells location of the object and/or its movement. The description of movement is often accompanied by facial expressions to show distance or the speed of the movement. EX: “fast” = low but level movement accompanied by an “oo” mouth and squinted eyes. Or “popped up into the air” is described with a high and curved movement accompanied by a slightly open mouth.

Different kinds of LCL’s LCL can be used to represent barriers. They refer to shape and location of things that may cause someone to trip or fall LCL:C “bulk” - rock, toy LCL:B “flat” – flat surface, step, fence, banana peel LCL:1 “thin, long” – pencil, rope, wire, bar

SCL Semantic Classifiers Describes where the person is located, where they moved, and/or how they moved (with facial expressions)

Different kinds of SCL’s SCL handshape “vertical 1” shows a person approaching and leaving a scene. SCL:1 “approaching” or “leaving”. SCL handshape “V” shows the person’s position: sitting, standing, lying, or standing on their head. It is also used to describe falls: forward or backward. SCL:V “fall back” or “sit facing me”.

Facial Expressions with SCL Ahhhhhhh: indicates a person or thing is airborne or falling. Pow: used for both objects and people when there is impact.

BCL Body Classifiers Shows how a person move his/her arms, shoulders, or head. Always used with role shift Only the upper part of your body “enacts” the verb of the sentence: waving, shrugging shoulders, putting hands on hips, hitting the head in frustration, etc.

BPCL Body Part Classifier Represents specific parts of the body in action. Action of legs and feet (running, jumping, or crossing legs) use the BPCL handshape “X” (bend index fingers”. Add facial expressions to describe how the person ran – easily, in a panic, or with determination. BPCL handshape “B” represents the feet and toes and describes actions like tapping the floor, or wiggling the toes.
