PDE – Steven D. Collins Findings and Interpretations _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 4.1.1.6. Example Six (Manner/Degree) Gloss from Transcription: PHONE YES++ ONLY PLUG-INTO(phone) CONNECT PHONE CL:Ob “cord runs from phone over to tty) PLUG-INTO(tty) TTY FINISH(that’s all) ? English Translation: There is a phone plugged into the TTY. There is a cord running between the TTY and the phone. Is that all? Visual ASL: The signer uses a non-tactile production of the sign with a facial expression of the mouthing of “SS” and a widening of the eyes and a raising of the eyebrows without actually signing FINISH. Tactile ASL: The Deaf-Blind individual signs FINISH with a hand movement with a tensing of the hand and a final hold segment. As a question the movement of FINISH is signed with a movement forward in the direction of the other person to show it is a question. 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 FINISH 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 a tensing of the hand during the sign along with a final hold segment. In addition, the movement of FINISH includes the push forward to show it is a question. This push in the Tactile ASL sign is equivalent to the raised eyebrow in the visual ASL sign. Comments: This example demonstrates that “finish” is posed as a question and involves a push movement forward for the Tactile ASL as opposed to the raising of the eyebrow or the necessity of adding a question sign at the end of the sentence. 51
PDE – Steven D. Collins Findings and Interpretations _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 4.1.1.7. Summary (Manner/Degree) This series of examples of adverbs of the type manner or degree show that one of the features that characterizes many of the Tactile ASL variations of a sign is the use of an extended final hold segment often accompanied by a tensing of the hand during this hold. 52
