PDE – Steven D. Collins Intellectual Context and Literature Review _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Figure 3 TOO–EXPENSIVE Figure 4 EXPENSIVE Figure 3 shows the sign glossed as TOO-EXPENSIVE. Figure 3 also shows the NMS described as “SS” or “teeth clenched with cheeks pulled back” and the eyes are squinted. The NMS is an intensifier similar to the English word too. Signs accompanied by this non-manual component may also have a larger movement than the citation form. Figure 4 shows a similar sign glossed as EXPENSIVE without the intensifier. Without the NMS, the sign means simply “expensive”. Figure 5 VERY–RAINY Figure 6 RAIN Figure 5 shows the sign glossed as VERY-RAINY. The NMS is described as a “tightened facial expression”. Signs occurring with this NMS often have sharp forward movements. The NMS is a modifier similar to an English word ending in “y” such as in the English word “rainy”. This ASL sign means raining very hard. Figure 6 shows a similar sign glossed as RAIN without the intensifier. Without the NMS the sign loses the intense meaning. 15
PDE – Steven D. Collins Intellectual Context and Literature Review _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Figure 7 VERY-STORMY Figure 8 STORM Figure 7 shows the sign glossed as VERY-STORMY. The NMS is described as “CH” with squinting eyes, a spread mouth and spread fingers. The NMS is also a modifier whose meaning here is similar to the English word very stormy. Figure 8 shows a similar sign glossed as STORM without the intensifier. Figure 9 REALLY-GOOD Figure 10 GOOD Figure 9 shows the sign glossed as REALLY-GOOD. The NMS is described as “SH” with a tilting of the head downwards, squinting eyes and a strong quick movement of the hand. The NMS is also an intensifier similar to the English word very or really. The sign in combination with the “SH” non-manual component means really good. Figure 10 is a similar sign glossed as GOOD without the intensifier. Without the intensifier, the added component of really is removed. 16
