Norms for identifying & describing people: • Point out the person & describe his/her most noticeable or distinguishing characteristics • Make sure you listener understands who you’re talking about—do NOT go on until you get confirmation that he knows who you mean. • Identifying people is an interactive process. • Identifying people changes depending on whether the person is present and within sight or not present.
If present and within sight: • Raise eyebrows • Begin with the sign “SEE” • Point to the person and describe him/her, keeping your eyebrows raised throughout • Follow this order: • Gender • Height • Body type • Color of hair • Hairstyle
Other characteristics… • Mention other characteristics right after gender if they distinguish the person from others in that situation. • Race • Distinctive facial features • Eyeglasses • Jewelry • Clothing • Sitting/standing/signing • Once confirmation is given, proceed with comments/questions about that person.
If the person is NOT present: • Begin with eyebrows raised • Begin with the sign “you know” • Describe the person in the same general order • Add info about where the listener might have seen the person
If the listener indicates he doesn’t know the person you’re describing, continue with: • Occupation • Personal qualities • Habits • Persons relationship to other people the listener might know • When the listener indicates that he recognizes the person you identified, continue with your comments or question
