PDE – Steven D. Collins Findings and Interpretations _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 4.1.3.2. Example Two (Duration) Gloss from Transcription: UP-TIL-NOW NONE++++ WHY(rh) PRO1 LOOK-FOR++ MY FAVORITE BALTIMORE RITENOFF PRO1 BUY(from Ritenoff)+++++ COME(to me) ORDER (from Ritenoff) TIME PRO1 SEND-TO (Ritenoff) CALL-TO (Ritenoff) /// SAY O-W-N-E-R QUIT / SELL OTHER NEW O-W- N-E-R LOOK-AT WEAVING / THROW-OUT DON’T-KNOW HOW IX(new owner) THROW-OUT / NONE EMPTY // PRO1 DISAPPOINTED GIVE-UP WOOD BUY++++ IX(Baltimore) English Translation: I [haven’t bought] any for a while because I was looking for my favorite [vendor] in Baltimore, Ritenoff, that I bought from all the time. I ordered it and it came to me. One time, I called them…They said the owner quit, sold [the business] to a new owner who took one look at the weaving [supplies] and threw them out. I don’t know how he did it but he threw it all out—there’s nothing left. I’m disappointed that I have to give up buying it in Baltimore. Visual ASL: The signer uses a non-tactile production of the sign by raising the eyebrows and tilting the head back slightly. Additionally, there is a movement of the sign UP-TIL-NOW in a small arc. Tactile ASL: In the production of the sign, a Deaf-Blind individual signs UP-TIL-NOW with a bigger and more pronounced movement in a larger arc. Analysis of Variation: The primary difference in the signing of UP-TIL-NOW in this example, is that a Tactile ASL signer follows a far more pronounced movement in a larger arc. A visual ASL user signs with a smaller arc. 4.1.3.3. Summary (Duration) This series of examples of adverbs of the type duration demonstrates that one of the features that characterizes many of the Tactile ASL variations of the sign is the use of an extended hold segment often accompanied by the use of a larger sign space. Duration is also shown in Tactile ASL by use of a specific sign such as UP-TIL-NOW, not just with the use of extended holds. 59
PDE – Steven D. Collins Findings and Interpretations _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 4.1.4. Frequency Adverbials of frequency answers the question: How often? Following are several examples of this usage as taken from the transcription of the subjects’ videotaped conversation: 4.1.4.1. Example One (Frequency) Gloss from Transcription: YES // COMPANY VISIT LIKE W-SIGN-NAME++ HUSBAND #JOHN WATCH++ #tv W-SIGN-NAME++ CL:Vb “sit Deaf-Blind style” CHAT++ FOUR-HOURS #JOHN WATCH++ #tv // SOMETIMES (I) VISIT (them) #JOHN WATCH (his TV) PRO CHAT (with W) WELL / UNDERSTAND+++ English Translation: It is confirmed that there is company who visits like W–. Her husband, John watches TV sometimes. W– and I will chat for four hours while John watches the TV. Sometimes I visit them. John watches TV and she chats. [John] understands. Visual ASL: The signer uses a non-tactile production of the sign with a nodding of the head up and down while the sign for SOMETIMES moves in a fast circle making it an adverb of frequency. Tactile ASL: In Tactile ASL, a Deaf-Blind individual needs a slow movement of the sign in a bigger circle in order to make it clear that the meaning is SOMETIMES, as opposed to a similarly formed sign. Analysis of Variation: In the visual ASL production of the sign, the use of a non-tactile nodding of the head and the movement of the sign in a fast circle is sufficient to convey the adverb SOMETIMES. A Tactile ASL signer must slow the movement and move in a larger circle in order to clarify the sign in the context of frequency. This movement compensates for the inability of a Deaf-Blind individual to observe the head movement. 60
