21. Classifiers Notes
ASL uses classifiers to help create a 3 dimensional space. Classifiers show the size shape and movement of a noun or placement. There are several types of classifiers in ASL:
DCL: Descriptive (describes an object or a person)
LCL: Locative (representing an object in a place)
SCL: Semantic (vehicle or person)
BCL: Body (classifier enacts the verb—like running)
ICL: Instrument (part of the body manipulates an object like turning a crank)
BPCL: Body part classifier (foot tapping)
PCL: Plural classifier (long line of people)
ECL: Element (water dripping)

22. Visual Literature of the Deaf… Notes

Now watch as the signer describes the room. Can you picture it?

24. Locating Small Objects-DVD
The sign model will make a request and will receive information as to where the item is that they are looking for.

25. Fingerspelling-Double Letters Notes
Double letters at the end of a word may slide.
Double letters in the middle of a word?
Contact letters open and close slightly
Non-contact letters tap slightly
The preference is to never slide, but if you must make sure it is only at the end of a word!
Why not slide? More movement for the receiver to deal with. More chance of miscommunication or having to repeat yourself.
