Hi everybody, welcome back!
So today I thought I'd go ahead and discuss a topic
about sign language. Something you might not have thought about and that is
called conceptually
accurate signging. So conceptually accurate signing.
So what does that mean?
Well I'm gonna give you I guess like the classic
example which is the word run. So
how would you sign that? I mean I can think of multiple
different ways. So now thing when you are talking about the
English language with the word "run" it has a lot of different meanings
but the word itself is the same. So,
if I'm running to the store or
I run a store, umm you know
if my nylons have a run,
all of those are the exact same word, but the meaning is different.
Also, the sign would be different. So if we were to sign
the word run there's a lot of different signs for it.
So I'm gonna go ahead and give you a few different ideas of what it means.
So if I were to say
I physcially am running to
the store. So that sentence, "I am
running to the store". That phrase
you would sign ME STORE
RUNNING. Running like this, I'm running.
Now if I were to say, if you own the store,
or you "run" a store. That would be RUN or
you could sign RUN.
Now if you were to say like a factory,
you know a factory machine, the best
is running, you could sign RUNNING or even RUNNING.
If you have say
like nylons, or tights, or same thing...
uh pantyhoses and you have a run,
it'd be a RUN like a run, like a rip or RUN.
So there's a lot of different ideas for this
sign RUN. Same thing if your nose is running.
You wouldn't sign my nose is RUNNING... no you would sign my
nose is RUNNING, RUNNING.
So it's a similar idea.. like I'm trying to think of
other examples you could do. Like maybe you wanted to say
I want a BREAK. So there's
actually a few different ways you could sign that. A BREAK
or BREAK. Umm and they
sound similar this one's spelled differently BRAKE, but if you were to
sign that "I want a break" meaning you want a rest,
you wouldn't sign BREAK this way. That's not conceptually
accurate. Thinking like I want to break. Please don't do that. NO!
But you would sign I want a BREAK
or you could sign I want a BREAK. So
signing just make sure whatever the word is,
think of what the proper conceptually accurate meaning is and then pick
your sign. Ok? So I know that's there is a lot
more examples you could think for conceptually accurate signing.
If you guys have other ideas for words that have many multiple
signs leave them as a comment below. Maybe I can make an
entire video just taking about run and break
break and all of those things. Ok guys hopefully
