PDE – Steven D. Collins Findings and Interpretations _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 4.1.5.2. Example Two (Purpose) Gloss from Transcription: YES BUY /// YOU NEED WRITE-LIST SEND (to Silent Call) TO S-I-L-E- N-T ASK (multiple) ABOUT MORE++ TWO E-X-T-R-A?? TWO-OR- THREE CONNECTED // YES FOR FLASHER THAT // WELL // CAN ASK- (Silent Call) REQUEST-lf (from Silent Call) S-I-L-E-N-T C-A-L-L COMPANY IX-lf (Silent Call) /// English Translation: Yes, you can buy one. You should write down the questions you have about connecting two or more signaler systems at once in order to flash [light signals to your roommates]. Sure, ask the Silent Call company. Visual ASL: The signer uses a non-tactile production of the sign along with a facial expression of a raising of the eyebrows. FOR is not explicitly signed. Tactile ASL: In Tactile ASL, a Deaf-Blind individual cannot see the non-manual facial expression and, consequently, FOR FLASHER is signed to indicate purpose (for what purpose). 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. There is no need for the signer to sign FOR. In the Tactile ASL, there must be a compensation for the Deaf-Blind person who is unable to observe this non-manual signal. The additional sign is added to show purpose. Comments: The adverb here, FOR is used to indicate purpose. The purpose is to buy a flasher and this is what FOR signifies. 63
PDE – Steven D. Collins Findings and Interpretations _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 4.1.5.3. Summary (Purpose) This series of examples of adverbs of the type purpose shows that one of the features that characterizes many of the Tactile ASL variations of the sign is the use of an additional signed word in order to make the context and purpose clear. In the examples shown here, the extra word FOR was signed. There are “extra” words because the conventional way of expressing the same purpose as the signer intended would not include the sign FOR. A conventional way of referring to the purpose of the flasher would be to use the sign POSS, a possessive pronoun sign that refers to the flasher’s purpose, rather than FOR. If the sign POSS were used in this example it would have a higher risk of being misunderstood. 64
