Bill--
I use your curriculum for a community ASL course that I teach. I am a
certified interpreter and NOT a teacher, but I am willing to help in this
small capacity. I am unsure what you were trying to highlight in discussion
14 (quoted below). Can you expand on that briefly for me?
Thanks!
Discussion 14
Regularity
Duration
Verb Inflection: "Regularity" refers to inflection of a verb wherein you
modify the production of the verb to show that the action occurs on a
regular basis.
For example consider the sign "GO." It uses a single thrusting movement. If
you repeat the sign it becomes the sign we call "ATTEND." The sign ATTEND is
used to communicate concepts like: "go on a regular basis" or "attending."
By altering the movement of the sign (by repeating the sign) you change the
meaning of the sign to indicate that the action is done on a regular basis.
Verb Inflection: "Duration" refers to inflection of a verb wherein you
modify the production of the verb to show that the action occurs over a
period of time
For example suppose you wanted to indicate that someone looked at a painting
for a long time. Instead of using three signs "LOOK LONG TIME" you would
simple modify the movement of the sign LOOK-AT to trace a circle in the air
moving forward, down, back, up, and repeats a second time. By altering the
movement of the sign "LOOK-AT" (using a circle instead of a small forward
motion) you change the meaning of the sign to indicate the the extended
duration of time in which the person looked at the picture.
"Habituality" refers to inflection of a verb wherein you modify the
production of a time sign to indicate an ongoing schedule.
For example suppose you wanted to state that something happens every Monday?
Instead of using two separate signs for "every" and "Monday" you'd simply
hold an "M" hand up in the air and drag it straight down about a third of a
meter. By altering the movement of the sign (using a downward drag instead
of a small circular motion) you change the meaning of the sign to show "habituality."
