Classifiers Pg Handshapes that convey multiple meanings because each reflects a class of shared characteristics and contributes to the overall concept of a sign. NOTE: You must say the NOUN of what the classifier is representing before using the classifier!

CL: B (a flat surface) – iconic CL: 1 (an person) – iconic CL: V (a person’s legs) – iconic CL: 3 (vehicles – cars/motorcycle/truck ) - abstract CLASSIFERS

Different Uses for CL: B pg. 193 Concept: Wide, flat surfaces on my body moving back and forth. Meaning: I walk Concept: Four wide, flat surfaces in rectangular shape. Meaning: Walls / room Concept: Wide, flat, vertical surface that swings open. Meaning: Door / open Concept: Wide, flat, horizontal surface that moves in a wave-like fashion. Meaning: Boat These are actually SIGNS and not really what I consider classifiers!

p. 193

Classifiers Pg. 194 Watch the Eyes On ASL #11 explaining Classifiers

Classifier Signs Pg. 193 Accident Bus Classifier To dance To line up To look at Motorcycle To ride a horse

CL:1 An individual Pg. 194 CL: 1 generally represents an individual and its location, action and manner. Use this sign to show someone walking slowly, hunched over, moving quickly falling down, etc. CL: 1 also refers to cylindrical objects, i.e. logs or poles.

FYI Use eye gaze to show the beginning and the end points of the moving person.

Classroom Exercise U How would you sign each meaning on page 194 using the CL:1?

CL: V (A person’s legs or eyes) CL: V show the actions of someone’s legs or eyes. Non-manual signals are especially important when using the classifier to depict the eyes, because facial expressions distinguish between a dirty look, curiosity, etc. CL:V should be used when describing the body as a whole, as laying down. Use the sign to show others walking but not yourself. Use the sign I WALK.

Classroom Exercise V How would you sign each sentence on page 195 using CL:V?

Deaf Culture Minute Pg. 195  Classifiers play an important role in ASL literature, especially in classifier stories.  A classifier story is when the signer only uses a specified classifier to tell an entire story, which can not be done in English.

CL:3 Vehicles Pg. 196 CL:3 represents the actions of wheeled vehicles such as bikes, cars, and motorcycles, after the vehicles have been identified. Use the CL to show important details including directional travel and / or speed, and include facial expressions and other non-manual signals as needed.

Classroom Exercise W 1.) Practice using CL:3 2.) Create ASL sentences using the classifiers.
