  3. Let’s play a little word game eh?

  4. I’ll give you the definition of a word and you tell me what the word is.

  5. This word means: “Uttered clearly in distinct syllables.”

  6. This word also means: “Capable of speech; not speechless.”

  7. “Using language easily and fluently; having facility with words.”

  8. “Expressed, formulated, or presented with clarity and effectiveness.”

  9. This word also means: “Made clear, distinct, and precise in relation to other parts.”

  11. “Articulate”

  12. Example: “Dr. Vicars is an articulate speaker.”

  13. Example: “Dr. Vicars is very articulate.”

  14. Example: “Dr. Vicars knows how to articulate his ideas well.”

  15. The word “articulate” has many meanings.

  16. Articulate means to express something clearly.

  17. Articulate means to take parts and put them together into a cohesive whole.

  18. Articulate means to move your tongue around and produce a word.

  19. So, what does “articulate” mean to us ?!?

  20. How will we use the word “ARTICULATE” in this class?

  21. Articulate means to “say.”

  22. Or “sign.”

  23. To say something. To sign something. To do a sign. To produce a sign. to express a sign.

  24. To move your stubby little fingers around in the air and form various handshapes in particular locations, following certain paths, at various angles of orientation. THAT is what articulation means HERE.

  25. Articulate for me the sign CAT.

  26. BRAVO!

  27. The sign CAT is an articulatory bundle of information.

  28. That articulatory bundle known as the sign “CAT” consists of a sequence of: handshapes, locations, orientations, NMM’s, holds, and movements!

  29. A sign is an articulatory bundle of what?

  30. Handshapes, locations, orientations, NMM’s, holds, and movements

  31. Let’s adjust that a bit.

  32. A sign is an articulatory bundle of handshapes, locations, orientations, and NMM’s that are expressed in a series of holds, and movements!

  33. How is that articulatory bundle of handshapes, locations, orientations, NMM’s expressed, (delivered, said, signed, articulated)?

  34. The word “sequence” means “a specific order.”

  35. In sequence!

  36. In a sequence of holds and movements.

  37. If you do not deliver (say, sign, express, articulate) your articulatory bundle of handshapes, orientations, locations, holds, and movements in the right sequence it means that you are doing your sign

  38. If you do not deliver (say, sign, express, articulate) your articulatory bundle of handshapes, orientations, locations, holds, and movements in the right sequence it means that you are doing your sign wrong.

  39. Who says it is wrong?

  40. The community.

  41. The community has expectations regarding what they are used to seeing signed.

  42. Those expectations are what we call “grammar rules.”

  43. Grammar rules are what you follow when you want people in the community to understand what you are signing since what you are signing will look (pretty much) like what other people are signing.

  44. Wouldn’t it be nice to know what those rules are?Tip 1: Come to class. Pay attention.Tip 2: Do your homework: Buy and read the book!Tip 3: Re-read the book, it might take four or five times!

  45. What changes take place during the sign UNDERSTAND?

  46. handshape

  47. What changes take place during the sign FALSE?

  48. Location (and some orientation)

  49. What changes take place during the sign FASCINATING?

  50. Location & handshape!
