LEARNING OBJECTIVES

By the time you finish working with this program, you will have:

 

  • practiced along with the texts, or independent of them, using all the major features of ASL covered in this program.
  • learned about the use of constructed action (CA) and constructed dialogue (CD) as integral parts of ASL discourse.
  • learned terminology that has been used to refer to CA and CD within the language-learning research literature.
  • learned about the existence of various approaches for the consideration of CA as linguistic or gestural devices in signed languages.
  • learned that some signs trigger the use of CA.
  • learned about different configurations in which CA can be found (e.g., occurring alone, accompanying classifiers or other signs, and occurring between classifiers).
  • learned that certain types of information often get portrayed in CA (e.g., actions that are easier to demonstrate then to describe, actions that are necessary for the communication of specific things not captured in classifiers or lexical signs).
  • learned that some signers sometimes use CA to communicate information about inanimate objects.
  • learned about general considerations for using CA as an appropriate device for communicating information during interpretation between ASL and English.
