Content description
Understand and use signing space, including making distinctions between character and observer space for constructing different types of texts
Elaborations
recognising that signers can set up referents in the signing space as if they are part of that space (character space, for example, using a bC handshape (use of non-dominant hand) to indicate putting a glass on a table) or as if they are outside it (observer, for example, using 5claw in two locations to represent two houses)
appreciating the possible production of reciprocal forms of some indicating signs, such as LOOK, GIVE, INVITE
independently identifying instances of DSs and their type
analysing a video of a signed narrative and identifying where and how signers are using CA, for example by eye gaze change
