50. Noun-Verb Pairs ASL Grammar

51. Noun-Verb Pairs
There are many nouns and verbs which are related to each other in meaning and form and differ only in movement. These are called noun- verb pairs. Some verbs have a single movement and the related noun has a smaller, repeated movement.

54. Using the Subject as Topic
The topic marker may be used on subjects as well as objects. The marker is used to specify, and in some cases emphasize, what the sentence is about.

55. Let’s practice

57. Let’s look at your worksheets…
Noun-Verb Pairs: There are many nouns and verbs which are related to each other in meaning and share 4 of the 5 sign parameters. These are called noun-verb pairs. Most verbs have a _________________ movement and the related noun has a smaller, _________________ movement. Step 1. Practice sentences 1-20 on your own and underline any signs you do not know. Step 2. What signs do we need to review? Step 3. Now lets sign the sentences together. Step 4. Now lets sign them with partners. Move around the room. Sign a sentence to a person… the person responds with the number that corresponds to that sentence.

58. On Your Own…
There are 46 signs in this chapter. Create 10 sentences on your own that incorporate at least 20 of the signs from this chapter and use grammar structures from this chapter. Gloss the sentence first underlining the vocabulary used from this chapter, on the next line write out the grammar structure used. Add all glossing marks and double space. For example: _____________whq______________ AIRPLANE THERE FLY WHERE? (Noun/Verb Pair: the noun has a short, double movement and the verb has a single, long movement.) You will be signing and translating these 10 sentences in class. Be sure to use only vocabulary we know—do not use to look up new signs. Rely on your master vocabulary list only! Make sure you know how to sign each sentence on the due date.

59. Worksheet
Topic/Comment Structure is the most common grammar structure in ASL. The sentence begins with the topic whereas in English the sentence begins with the subject. The comment follows. When signing the topic eyebrows are raised. The NMS for the comment matches the intended meaning.
Gloss sentences that use each of the following signs as topics. Sign and translate with a partner.

60. Gloss/Sign/translate
GLOSS: Name and describe your favorite person
Translation:

61. Story time…
