3/20/17 Welcome Back!! List 3 things that happened over Spring Break (or make it up) and put them in Gloss using conjunctions. Be prepared to sign. You have 10 minutes. NO TALKING!!
Conjunctions One of the features ASL shares with English is the use of conjunctions to join simple sentences. Many students can t stop signing in English word order because they feel wedded to these conjunctions: i.e. and, but, because, although, however etc. Most of these are not ASL signs. ASL conjunctions are like those listed in the next slide.
ASL Conjunctions WRONG (without warning, suddenly) FRUSTRATE (to be prevented from) HIT (unexpectedly, turned out that) FIND (find out that) HAPPEN (happened that) FINISH (then, completed) THINK+APPEAR (remember, recall) UNDERSTAND (however, but, although)
ASL Conjunctions Part 2 Other ways to show conjunctions in ASL: Listing on the hand Contrastive structure (shoulder move slightly l-r or vice versa) * to denote then * to denote then; or; groupings of objects or people Ex: Yesterday, I went skiing with Mary, John and Anna. Last Saturday, we went to the petting zoo. My daughter got to pet a baby monkey and a baby goat.
