Words using during are underlined in the English sentences below Words using during are underlined in the English sentences below. Sign each in ASL placing during in the correct location (at the beginning). The sign during is used to explain the general time an action occurs. It is a when sign, meaning it comes first in an ASL sentence. In winter they play hockey. When it rains, people don’t play golf. On the weekends, I play soccer. We learned to swim in the fall. In nice weather I ride to work. During the week I practice skating. People should not swim in bad weather. I have a volleyball practice on Thursday. Over the weekend we take karate. I work on the weekend. During summer I play baseball. Unit 6

Asking Have you…, MASL p. 220 ASL uses the signs to experience and finish to ask questions about whether someone has or has not done something. These types of questions often begin with “Have you…” in English, but in ASL the question is asked without using the sign have. Recall that the sign to have is literal and indicates possession of something, so using it to ask “Have you gone bowling?” is incorrect. Instead, the concept of the sign to experience asks “Do you have any experience with bowling?” Finish experience Not yet Unit 6

The 5 Parameters of ASL, p. 224 Each sign in ASL can be broken down and analyzed into five separate features called the Five Parameters of ASL. If one parameter is wrong, then the meaning of a sign can be drastically affected – or even disappear and leave people trying to understand what’s being signed. Signing clearly and precisely takes time and practice, and being aware of the Five Parameters can help improve your ASL skills. See how the meaning changes for each of the sign pairs when one parameter is changed. Handshape Orientation Location Movement NMS I, I am Area, place Dad, (male) Please Near (sort of) My, mine Around (time) Mom, (female) Happy Near (very) Unit 6

The Literature of ASL, p. 227 Both hearing and Deaf people create and enjoy literature, artistic works such as stories, poetry, riddles, and more. The literature of most cultures is written, though cultures that do not use or have a written language also produce a specific type of literature. This is called oral literature, meaning stories are preserved and passed down only by the act of storytelling. ABC, classifier, and handshape stories Until very recently, the literature produced by the Deaf culture has been primarily passed from person to person in such a way. Live or recorded storytelling has a rich tradition in the Deaf culture. Poetry, ABC stories, classifier stories, handshape rhymes, number stories, narratives, and humor form a highly-regarded body of signed, visual literature passed down from generation to generation. Unit 6

The Major Forms of Literature of ASL, p. 227 ASL poetry: Covers a broad spectrum of genres and topics, performed by a Deaf poet. Deaf poets such as Clayton Valli and Ella Mae Lentz are cherished for their poetry reflecting the shared Deaf experience. Classifier stories: Works that use only one or more specific classifiers to tell a complete, plot-driven story. Handshape rhymes: Works in which the signer tells an entire story using only one handshape, often incorporating meter, or rhythm, based on the story’s plot. ABC stories: Using only the letters of the alphabet in sequence (either A-Z or Z-A), the signer tells a complete story. ABC stories combine elements of classifier stories and handshape rhymes. Number stories: Similar to ABC stories, the signer uses specific number signs to tell a story. Number signs can be made in sequence like ABC stories (numbers 1-10, for example), in a challenging pattern (numbers 7, 5, 7, 5, for example), or in reverse order Narratives: Signed in formal ASL, narratives often relate events and aspects of the shared Deaf experience, especially humorous tales of being Deaf in a hearing world. ASL narratives often highlight Deaf history, famous Deaf persons, and Deaf accomplishments or triumphs over adversity. Unit 6

Poetry p. 230 The two signs differentiate between poems produced by hearing culture and those produced by Deaf performers. Over the years, Deaf poets felt the general sign poetry did not fully capture the depth of expression that is part of ASL poetry, and eventually the sign express myself / let it out became known as ASL poetry. http://www.ragamala.net/transposedheads.jpg ASL/Signed http://www.umich.edu/~isa/leisure/poetry_files/poetry.gif English/Spoken Unit 6

ASL Tenses: Past, Present, Future, p. 231 Eyes on ASL #13: Tense A Survey of ASL Tenses Karen Alkoby DePaul University School of Computer Science Chicago, IL kalkoby@shrike.depaul.edu Unit 6

How Do Tense Markers Work?, p. 232 yesterday now, today tomorrow Look closely at the parameter changes in the signs yesterday and tomorrow. The beginning location of each sign is on the present tense area of the ASL Timeline, but the final locations differ: Yesterday moves toward the shoulder, forming the past tense, and tomorrow moves ahead of the body, forming the future tense. Once a tense is formed, you don’t have to keep adding the same tense markers because the context is clear. However, when you change tenses you must use a new tense marker. Unit 6

Long time ago, distant past The Past, p. 233 Long time ago, distant past Ago, past Before, used to Other ways to say these ideas of past in English are “a month ago,” “a week ago,” “a year ago,” or “When I was…” Remember, number can be included in many of these signs following the Rule of 9.

Number Inclusion: Rule of 9 p. 241 The Rule of 9 is a pattern at influences a concept’s duration, or how long something lasts. It is used when signing about a specific period of time or age. This period is included with the base sign, so that the difference between week and nine weeks is the incorporation of the number nine into the dominant hand. Only numbers up to 9 may be incorporated into a sign. Use the Rule of 9 with: Age Specific number of hours Specific time of day Specific number of weeks Specific number of minutes Specific number of months Specific number of days Specific amount of money Unit 6
