Grammar

Conditional or If clause

Example:

______________if_, ________n_______
#IF TOMORROW SNOWS, SCHOOL NOT GO I

The conditional part of the sentence require that the eyebrows are raised and then the facial grammar is appropriate for the comment. In the example here. Eyebrows would be raised for the first clause and then head would shake for the second clause or comment.

You can begin a conditional clause with: (remember eyebrows are raised but you DO NOT LEAN FORWARD)
IF/SUPPOSE
#IF
OR by raising your eyebrows only


Practice these at home. Change the structure into ASL using the grammar for a conditional clause.
IF I HAVE MONEY, STORE GO-TO WILL I
1. I will go to the store if I have money.
2. I like cats if they are nice.
3. I will go to the party if my friend goes with me.
4. I will buy a horse if my mom says I can.
5. I will show up if you postpone the meeting.


Grammar: The sign FEEL
When you use the sign FEEL in ASL the sign or statement becomes emotional.

Example: I FEEL SICK (this becomes an emotional state, meaning you are upset about something)
I SICK I (this is a physical state)

Fingerspelling HELP!

Recognize when fingerspelling
o Do not bounce
o If a double letter, slide hand or slight bounce
o Hold arm comfortably and facing outward
o Do not move right or left. Stay in one place
o Pay attention to E, A,S,I, D,K,V,



My suggestions tend to follow a lot of the same rules that apply to teaching a child to read:
1. Practice, practice, practice...the more you work on reading other people's fingerspelling, the better you will get. Everyone's fingers are different so it is important to practice with many different partners in order to experience all the styles of hands. (Unfortunately not everyone has long easily read fingers!)
2. Don't get stuck on reading each letter as an individual letter. Instead think of it and the "shape" of the word. Watch for double letters and the beginning and ending letters. You should be able to fill in the rest with the contextual clues (much like you do with reading an unknown word in a sentence in a written passage).
3. Instead of saying each letter as you are seeing it, say each SOUND. (You are basically sounding it out.) This will help as you are trying to figure out the word. That way when you miss a letter here and there, by sounding it out you will be able to fill in the blanks.
Finger spelling, hands-down is one of the trickiest parts of the language. Don't get too frustrated. Take it slow at first. Don't be afraid to ask a deaf person to "spell it again please", they more than likely will be happy to repeat themselves.

Some of the abc’s are easier to see than others.
• Easier to identify so look for them…..B, C,D,F,H,I,J,K,L,R,U,V,W, X,Y, Z
• A bit more tricky…..a,e,g,m,n,o,p,q,s,t

Week #3

Conditional Clause Review

IF I HAVE MONEY, STORE GO-TO WILL I
1. I will go to the store if I have money.
2. I like cats if they are nice.
3. I will go to the party if my friend goes with me.
4. I will buy a horse if my mom says I can.
5. I will show up if you postpone the meeting.

Conjunction usage lecture (Page 190-191 for help)
Remember, conjunctions connect two (or more) sentences, actions, thoughts, etc. Correct usage allows your signing to flow much easier from topic to topic in extended sentences and especially in conversations. Conjunctions are incredibly important in conversational ASL. When using conjunctions, they are used for unexpected but not necessarily unpleasant events.

Giving Directions in ASL

• Reference point
• Use index and movement and/or L and R sign
• Explain where not to go
• Use landmarks and visual objects
• Use your body to convey space and location
• Use classifiers CL: a and CL:5 (helps paint the picture)
• Use specific facial grammar
o Cs for near
o Faa or puffed checks for far

Sign directions as you see them the receiver must change them to their perspective. ASL users sign directions much like women, a lot of landmarks!

I am going to give you directions using these important components. Draw a map.
