ASL Linguistics:
The Function of Space
![Page 3: Dr. Bill Vicars Lifeprint. com. ASL Linguistics: The Function of Space](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032015/56649d765503460f94a57186/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
If there is no identifiable reason (other than, “That is how Deaf people do it”) that we sign FOR at “head level” FEEL on the chest, or NOW at waist level we can say that the “location
or space” is what?

If space is just a non-meaningful
part of building a sign it is
considered what?

If you change space and it builds a new sign (a new meaning) then use of space is what?

New topic…

If you use space to construct
sentences (ex: establish subject
and object) it is…

Syntactical (and also still
morphological)

In those signs, space or
location simply provide what?

Which means that space is what makes
those signs look different.

If we use space to indicate a person by pointing to where he
is or was we are using space for…

something is in a 3D framework we can say its function is…

What is “Phonological
Contrast” good for?
![Page 25: Dr. Bill Vicars Lifeprint. com. ASL Linguistics: The Function of Space](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032015/56649d765503460f94a57186/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Phonological Contrast makes
signs look different. (But the specific contrast itself is meaningless.)
![Page 26: Dr. Bill Vicars Lifeprint. com. ASL Linguistics: The Function of Space](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032015/56649d765503460f94a57186/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Name 4 types of Phonological
Contrast:
![Page 27: Dr. Bill Vicars Lifeprint. com. ASL Linguistics: The Function of Space](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032015/56649d765503460f94a57186/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
handshapelocation
orientationmovement
[We call these things what?]
![Page 28: Dr. Bill Vicars Lifeprint. com. ASL Linguistics: The Function of Space](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032015/56649d765503460f94a57186/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
In general we call them parameters of signs. Or parts
of signs.
![Page 29: Dr. Bill Vicars Lifeprint. com. ASL Linguistics: The Function of Space](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032015/56649d765503460f94a57186/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
If a particular handshape, location,
orientation, or movement has no
independent meaning we could call it what?
![Page 30: Dr. Bill Vicars Lifeprint. com. ASL Linguistics: The Function of Space](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032015/56649d765503460f94a57186/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
You could “still” call it a parameter or part of
a sign. More specifically though it can be considered a
phoneme.
![Page 31: Dr. Bill Vicars Lifeprint. com. ASL Linguistics: The Function of Space](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032015/56649d765503460f94a57186/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
If a particular handshape, location,
orientation, or movement HAS
independent meaning we could call it what?
![Page 32: Dr. Bill Vicars Lifeprint. com. ASL Linguistics: The Function of Space](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032015/56649d765503460f94a57186/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
You could “still” call it a parameter or part of
a sign. More specifically though it can be considered a
morpheme.
![Page 33: Dr. Bill Vicars Lifeprint. com. ASL Linguistics: The Function of Space](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032015/56649d765503460f94a57186/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Generally in any two different signs
at least one parameter must be
different.
![Page 34: Dr. Bill Vicars Lifeprint. com. ASL Linguistics: The Function of Space](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032015/56649d765503460f94a57186/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
What if two people sign something
and no parameters are different?
![Page 35: Dr. Bill Vicars Lifeprint. com. ASL Linguistics: The Function of Space](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032015/56649d765503460f94a57186/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
They are doing the same sign.
![Page 36: Dr. Bill Vicars Lifeprint. com. ASL Linguistics: The Function of Space](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032015/56649d765503460f94a57186/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
We know that handshape, location,
orientation, and movement provide 4 types of Phonological Contrast. What can
provide morphological contrast?
![Page 37: Dr. Bill Vicars Lifeprint. com. ASL Linguistics: The Function of Space](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032015/56649d765503460f94a57186/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Actually, handshape, location, orientation, and movement can provide EITHER (meaningless)
phonological contrast OR (meaningful)
morphological contrast!
![Page 38: Dr. Bill Vicars Lifeprint. com. ASL Linguistics: The Function of Space](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032015/56649d765503460f94a57186/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
If the contrast is meaningless we CALL it
phonological. If the contrast carries meaning we CALL it morphological
contrast.

Puzzle for you: Two people each did a sign.
The sign done by each person had the exact same
parameters (including facial expression) as the sign done by
the other person – yet each person’s sign meant something different. How is this possible?
Give me an example.
