Q

Temporal Inflection: Continuous Inflection

A
  • Action occurs uninterrupted for a substantial amount of time, or more time than is normally expected.
  • Sign moves in a circular motion. Remember that if a sign already has a movement, it cannot add a secondary movement.

17
Q

Hundreds

A
  • Represented by “C”
  • Full “C”: 100 & 600-999
  • Modified “C”: 101-599
18
Q

Thousands

A
  • One tap in palm
  • Numbers are signed following the comma grouping
    Ex: 14,023 = 14 thousand, 23
    321,615 = 3 mod-C 21 Thousand, 6 full-C 15
19
Q

Millions

A
  • Two taps in palm
20
Q

Billion and Trillion

A

Finger spell

21
Q

Measurements: Height

A
  • Describe in feet and inches
  • “feet” number first, followed by “inch” number
  • To sign: “feet” number palm in, near side of head. Move hand slightly out and slightly up as switch to“inch” number
22
Q

Measurement: Weight

A
  • People: Sign “weigh” + number. Sign as cardinal number
  • Baby: “pounds” number + “l-b” + “ounces” number + “o-z”
    Ex: The baby is seven pounds, nine ounces
  • 7 l-b 9 o-z
23

A
  • Feet/foot—f-t
  • Pound—l-b
  • Ounce—o-z
  • Millimeter—mm
  • Teaspoon—tsp
  • Tablespoon—tbs
  • Miles per hour—mph
24
Q

Fractions

A
  • Fractions are signed with a downward movement similar to how fractions are written—denominator is under the numerator.
  • If there is not a whole number along with the fraction, use the cardinal number rules for palm orientation, based on the numerator.
    Ex: 1/8 would be both numbers palm-in because 1 is in the 1-5 category
  • 7/5 would be both numbers palm out because 7 is larger than1-5
  • If there is a whole number with the fraction, use the cardinal number rules for palm orientation, based on the whole number.
    Ex: 3 8/9 would be all signed palm in because 3 is in the 1-5 category
  • 10 ¾ would all be signed palm out because 10 is larger than1-5
25
Q

A

Finger spell abbreviations
January = JAN
