Understanding systems of language
apply understanding of grammatical structures and expressions to compose and respond to a range of texts
Elaborations
- AC9L1AU8U02_E1applying various types of clauses such as questions, topicalised sentences, negation or conditionals and recognising that these often co-occur with particular NMFs
- AC9L1AU8U02_E2identifying the ways that signers add spatial elements to communication, for example, using DSs from a viewer's perspective to refer to the same referent throughout a text
- AC9L1AU8U02_E3applying the knowledge of where and how DSs are used, through close and distant focus, to move from one frame of reference to another, for example, zooming in or showing the whole scene
- AC9L1AU8U02_E4describing real or imagined experiences at a different time, using CAs to shift from one role into another, through eye-gaze change, body shift, head orientation change, and matching facial expressions
- AC9L1AU8U02_E5applying citation form of plain verbs and indicating that verbs change when depicting more than 2 people
- AC9L1AU8U02_E6recognising that nouns can be pluralised by locating them repeatedly, regardless of their original location
- AC9L1AU8U02_E7<p>using both directional and locational indicating verbs, for example, </p><p class="ausltrans">GIVE PRO3</p><p> and </p><p class="ausltrans">GIVE PRO1</p><p>; and </p><p class="ausltrans">OPERATION</p><p> (cochlear implant versus appendix operation)</p>
- AC9L1AU8U02_E8<p>intensifying adjectives using NMFs, for example, signing </p><p class="ausltrans">HOT</p><p> with great emphasis and depicting wide-eyed expression for </p><p class="ausltrans">EXTREMELY HOT,</p><p> or signing </p><p class="ausltrans">TOUGH </p><p>with great exertion to show </p><p class="ausltrans">VERY TOUGH</p>
- AC9L1AU8U02_E9<p>knowing that, typically, signers use DSs to show spatial relationships/prepositions, not separate signs such as </p><p class="ausltrans">ON</p><p> or </p><p class="ausltrans">UNDER</p>
- AC9L1AU8U02_E10<p>using conjunctions such as <p class="ausltrans">PLUS</p><p>, </p><p class="ausltrans">IF</p><p> or </p><p class="ausltrans">BUT</p><p> to create cohesion in a narrative, recount or procedural text</p>
- AC9L1AU8U02_E11<p>identifying when and how some verbs and nouns use the same sign but change the movement in a regular way making noun-verb pairs, such as </p><p class="ausltrans">SCISSORS</p><p> versus </p><p class="ausltrans">CUT-WITH-SCISSORS</p>
