Q
What is a temporal inflection?
A
- Temporal = Time
- Inflection = change in a sign’s movement
- Temporal inflection shows the frequency or duration of an action
- Ex: Inflecting Verbs—movement changes to show path of an action
- Give, Show, Ask, Take-From
14
Q
Temporal Inflection: Uninflected
A
- The action happens one time
- No change in normal movement of the sign
Ex:Yesterday I studied.
15
Q
Temporal Inflection: Recurring Inflection
A
- Action occurs frequently or regularly
- Sign is repeated across your sign space
Ex: Everyday I study.
16
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.
Ex: I studied for 4 hours.
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
Q
Measurements: Misc.
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
Dates: Month
Finger spell abbreviations
January = JAN
November = NOV
26
Dates: Years/Decades
- Signed as they are spoken.
- Basic number rules apply, such as rocking numbers
- Ex.: 1968

- Ex: 1950’s

33

- Specific time indicator, # of months, # of years
34
