PDE – Steven D. Collins Findings and Interpretations _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 4.1.2.5. Summary (Time) This series of examples of adverbs of the type time characterizes many of the Tactile ASL variations of a sign and the use of an additional signed word in order to make the context of time clear. Often this additional sign is produced more slowly to make it clear. 57
PDE – Steven D. Collins Findings and Interpretations _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 4.1.3. Duration Adverbials of duration answer the question: For how long? The following shows several examples of this usage as taken from the transcription of the subjects’ videotaped conversation: 4.1.3.1. Example One (Duration) Gloss from Transcription: CL: LL “signaler” #IF PUSH-BUTTON MAKE STILL LIVE VIBRATING- ALARM+++ THAT English Translation: You push the button to make sure the [battery] still has a good charge [and will vibrate the pager]. Visual ASL: The signer uses a non-tactile production of the sign with a facial expression in which the head tilts downwards slightly and there is a raising of the eyebrows. STILL does not have to be explicitly signed. Tactile ASL: In the production of the sign STILL must be explicitly signed because a Deaf- Blind individual cannot observe the non-manual signal. STILL is signed with a movement of the hand followed by a hold segment and a tensing of the hand. Analysis of Variation: In the visual ASL production of the sign STILL, the use of a non-tactile facial expression is sufficient to communicate the adverb. There is no need for the signer to sign STILL. In Tactile ASL, it is necessary for STILL to be signed. Additionally, the lengthening of the final hold segment with a tensing of the hand is used. Pragmatically speaking, visual ASL typically uses non-manuals to signal conditionals along the lines of “If…then…” statements in English. The addition of signs like IF and in this case, STILL, would be redundant in visual ASL. Comments: In this example STILL is an adverb of duration. 58
