ASL Expansion
Contrasting
Contrasting 2 things by stating both to emphasize 1
English: either +/- statement
Faceting
Several signs to express one idea; used to narrow down concept/more specific image/coney a single idea
Detail info -> fewer lexical items in English, still have clear picture
change of tone?
sometimes less English words required
interpreting every word not necessary, can cause unnatural interpretation w/o pauses
Does hearing consumer have time to digest information? To understand message?
May use Adjectives or Adverbs
Reiteration
Sign used both before or after a concept; repeat certain detail
Enhance, Clarify, Heighten, Specify
May need to eliminate one or combine using one term
Utilizing 3-D Space
3-D visual Language, uses spatial info
What info is crucial to message?
Use time words/ past tense instead?
Describe a scene or layout, assign people/things/ides to locations, painting a picture?
How much detail is needed?
Too little: "dead air"
Too much: unnatural and distracting
Couching
Background or contextual info is added
ASL: high context VS English: low context
Omit what is not necessary
Description lasts long? Interpreter omits? Dead air time?
Include some, ensure audience stays involve
Decide if English audience is sufficiently aware of meaning
Explaining by Example
ASL uses more
Category
Not every item needs to be spoken, or any
Especially if it is one that doesn't need examples
Describe, Then Do
Narrative -> role of person speaking
Indirect address, aka reported speech
Direct address, direct dialogue, role shift, direct discourse
Less used in English; only storytelling, jokes, speaking to children, to dramatize a point
exact words are important
ASL: used both formal and informal; acts out roles using body shift; uses 1st person
story w/ signer + others, story w/o signer, dramatize monologue
Third Person in Personal Stories
changing 2nd into 3rd
Not easy task
2nd is never used w/ indirect
Introducing Each New Speaker
use direct address, must introduce each new speaker
Use body shift to indicate different person
English interpretation: need to identify who is speaking, but no literal interpretation
Should use indirect address in most cases
Choosing a Direct or Indirect Interpretation
Is gender known?
No? then no indirect
Make it awkward
Not capture meaning
Lose impact
What type of discourse speaker is using? Who is the audience? What the speaker's purpose is?
successful: audience can differentiate between the speaker's personal comments & comments of other people
indirect address is preferred method
