PDE – Steven D. Collins Findings and Interpretations _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 4.1.1.2. Example Two (Manner/Degree) Gloss from Transcription: HEY/ WITH (emph) // COME WITH KEYBOARD YES+++ OVER 6- THOUSAND 5-HUNDRED YES++ MEAN ALONE++++++ [WELL]//BRAILLE ALONE+++++ 3-THOUSAND 7-HUNDRED // English Translation: When the Braille device comes with a keyboard the cost is $6,500. If it is only the Braille device, it costs $3,700. Visual ASL: The signer uses a non-tactile production of the sign WITH with a facial expression in which the eyebrows are raised with a widening of the eyes. Tactile ASL: In the production of the sign WITH, the Deaf-Blind individual prolongs the final hold segment with a tense feeling in the hands. 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 WITH does not need to be prolonged in a hold of the segment. In the Tactile ASL production of the sign, a Deaf-Blind individual is not able to observe the nontactile portion of the sign and substitutes the prolonged hold segment with a tensing of the hands to convey the same information. Comments: In this example, the adverb WITH is in the category of Manner/Degree in that its use is in the context of differentiating the Braille device with the other keyboard or without the other keyboard. 47
PDE – Steven D. Collins Findings and Interpretations _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 4.1.1.3. Example Three (Manner/Degree) Gloss from Transcription: CL:3 bent “securely mounted box on the CL:B ‘door jamb’ “ MORE++ T-I-N CL:C “securely mounted box on the CL:B ‘door jamb’” STRONG (emph) /// English Translation: The box is mounted on the doorjamb with tin. It is really secure. Visual ASL: The signer uses a non-tactile production of the sign with a facial expression in which the eyebrows are lowered and the sign is made with a slightly tense and quick movement. Tactile ASL: In the production of the sign, the Deaf-Blind individual signs STRONG (emph) with a quick tense movement and holds the final segment. 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 STRONG does not need to be prolonged in a hold of the segment. In the Tactile ASL production of the sign, a Deaf-Blind individual is not able to observe the nontactile portion of the sign and substitutes with a prolonged hold segment. In addition, the movement of STRONG has tense emphasis to indicate that it is holding quite securely. Comments: This is an example of the adverb STRONG, which shows the degree to which the tin box is attached to the doorjamb. 48
