Understanding systems of language
recognise and use modelled combinations of signs such as handshape, orientation, location, movement (HOLM) and non-manual features (NMFs) to form signed words and phrases
Elaborations
- AC9L2AU4U01_E1<p>noticing the 5 major locations of signs on the body or in space, and identifying signs associated with each, such as </p><p class="ausltrans">SEE</p><p> (head/face), </p><p class="ausltrans">SAY</p><p> (mouth/chin), </p><p class="ausltrans">WHY</p><p> (chest), </p><p class="ausltrans">TALK</p><p> (hand) and </p><p class="ausltrans">ONE</p><p> (signing space)</p>
- AC9L2AU4U01_E2<p>recognising that handshapes must be performed in a particular position and that this is called orientation, for example, </p><p class="ausltrans">ON</p><p> or </p><p class="ausltrans">TRUE</p>
- AC9L2AU4U01_E3<p>identifying and demonstrating signs with a change in handshape, such as </p><p class="ausltrans">KNOW</p><p> or </p><p class="ausltrans">THINK</p>
- AC9L2AU4U01_E4understanding that NMFs can also be an element of a sign and can show emotional states such as a happy expression or grammatical information, for example, a frown to mark a negative
- AC9L2AU4U01_E5using chosen hands consistently, as dominant and subordinate hands
- AC9L2AU4U01_E6practising signing at a constant speed with pauses to indicate the end of a phrase
- AC9L2AU4U01_E7<p>using fingerspelling as a bridge to English such as familiar lexicalised fingerspelled signs, for example, </p><p class="ausltrans">FS:MON</p><p><em> Monday</em></p>
- AC9L2AU4U01_E8<p>recognising that changing the movement changes the meaning, for example, </p><p class="ausltrans">TEACHER</p>
- AC9L2AU4U01_E9<p>comparing iconic signs to the visual images and/or movements of referents, such as </p><p class="ausltrans">DRINK, MONKEY</p>
