Understanding systems of language
apply features and conventions of sign production to extend fluency when responding to and creating texts in familiar and unfamiliar contexts
Elaborations
- AC9L2AU10U01_E1using NMFs to convey meaning effectively, such as a slightly raised eyebrow or quick eye-gaze change in a role-play or in narrating an event
- AC9L2AU10U01_E2understanding that the elements of a sign can be arbitrary, such as the handshape or movement of the sign WHY, or they can be meaningful, such as the handshape and movement of the sign GIVE
- AC9L2AU10U01_E3<p>applying knowledge of iconicity in signed languages, for example, how the path movement of a verb can show the timing of an action, for example,</p><p class="ausltrans-newline">PRO1 WAIT DS:FAST-REPEAT PRO2,</p> <p>observing that English can do the same with changes to the length of words, for example, <em>I've been waiting a loooooong time for you</em></p>
- AC9L2AU10U01_E4modifying dominant and non-dominant hands for effect or use one hand only to convey the same meaning as the original 2-hand sign
- AC9L2AU10U01_E5understanding the need to modify pace for emphasis in familiar and unfamiliar texts, such as narrating exciting events in a story
- AC9L2AU10U01_E6applying fingerspelling restricted to proper nouns and DSs used more frequently to convey meaning
- AC9L2AU10U01_E7capturing non-citation forms of signs in a text, such as KNOW, and understanding reasons why such signs may be reduced or displaced for efficiency in conversation
- AC9L2AU10U01_E8<p>identifying and describing metaphorical iconicity, for example, </p><p class="ausltrans">LOVE, AVOID/RESIST</p><p>, and discussing how it relates to metaphors in English</p>
- AC9L2AU10U01_E9<p>using different NMFs, eye gazing and mannerism to distinguish between minimal pairs in Auslan, and comparing with minimal pairs in English, for example, in Auslan, </p><p class="ausltrans">BATH</p><p> and </p><p class="ausltrans">EXCITED</p><p> have a handshape difference to change the meaning of each sign compared with one letter difference in the minimal pairs ‘pin’ and ‘pun’ in English</p>
- AC9L2AU10U01_E10noticing limitations on production and perception of signed languages, such as staying seated or standing in one location compared with a wider use of space and movement of whole body and feet for mime
