PDE – Steven D. Collins Findings and Interpretations _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A gloss taken from the transcription. The target adverb is shown in bold text. Appendix B provides a detailed description of the glossing conventions and the transcription symbols. An English transcription of the conversation segment. A discussion of how the target adverb is signed in visual ASL. A discussion of how the target adverb is signed in Tactile ASL. An analysis of the variation in the signing between the two. Comments as required or applicable to the parameters of the research objectives. Specific features occurred consistently, depending on the adverbial. Each adverbial and its features will be described and discussed. 45
PDE – Steven D. Collins Findings and Interpretations _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 4.1.1. Manner/Degree Adverbials of manner or degree answer these questions: How? In what manner? To what degree? The following are several examples of this usage as taken from the transcription of the subjects’ videotaped conversation: 4.1.1.1. Example One (Manner/Degree) Gloss from Transcription: English Translation: PRO1 LOOK-AT (man) SHOCK (emph) I looked at him and was very shocked. Visual ASL: The signer uses a non-tactile production of the sign with a facial expression in which the eyebrow is raised with a widening of the eyes. Tactile ASL: In the production of the sign, the Deaf-Blind individual prolongs the final hold segment with a tense feeling in the hands. The path for the tactile version is also longer. Analysis of Variation: In the visual ASL production of the sign, the use of a non-tactile facial expression is sufficient to communicate the adverb. The sign for SHOCK does not need to have a prolonged hold in the final segment. In the Tactile ASL production of the sign, a Deaf-Blind individual is not able to observe the non-tactile portion of the sign and substitutes the prolonged hold segment with a tensing of the hands and longer path to convey the same information. Comments: This is an example of the adverb SHOCK with emphasis, which shows the degree to which the person reacted to the specific situation. 46
