Gish approach is based on what ?
the notion that there is order structure within communication
how is Gish approach organized?
(Goal, theme, objective)- might not be explicitly stated
(units, details ) will be what the speaker overly states
knowledge lean?
Skills that do not depend on the knowledge of the topic and skills that can be learned in a relatively short period of time.. For example, most people can learn the manual alphabet in an evening, or a day, or over the course of a few 3-hour classes. Fingerspelling, numbers, and some lexical signsclick here more info
Knowledge rich
skills that take dedicated practice -learning and application over extended periods of time, with a great deal of exposure to experiences that allow for these skills to be used over time, resulting in ever increasing accuracy and fluency. For example, using classifiers and structuring space are rich skills. -Classifiers, space, grammar, interpretingclick here for more
Schema
plan or diagram.
-usually plan on what is being said
-usually all ready knows topic
-patter or mental image about subject
-based on real world experiences
-very personal ( no 2 will have exact same schema)

1 fingerspelled words
2 numbers
3 signs
discourse level
refers to the combining of words or signs into sentences or longer segments aka paragraphs. (how these are used together in communication and how they interact)
key words
the most important single concept in a passage
-used over and over again
-point to main theme
Everything starts with comprehension, if you dont understand the source language the message is flawed.
True of False
True
With difficulty in ASL comprehension
-fs or
-numbers or

What is an example of sign comprehension that gets misinterpreted ?
Ex : (APPLE-ORANGE-BANANA)

Lexicon
all the words and phrases used in a particular language or subject; all the words and phrases used and known by a particular person or group of people; the entire vocabulary of a language or a specialized field such as law, medicine, or linguistics.
Main Idea
central premise around which the rest of the text is expanded
Lexical items
the words or signs, parts of words or signs, phrases and idioms, and discourse that make up that language.
Semantics
the study of the meaning of words and sentences
TRUE OR FALSE
ASL lexical item chosen by the interpreter (e.g., sign, fingerspelled word, non-manual signal, use of space) must be semantically accurate, carrying the same meaning and intention in the ASL target message as that expressed in the English source message.

7 features discourse of ASL
Contrasting
Faceting

Explaining by Example

Morphemes and phonemes
parts that combine to make a word or sign. In ASL, they are generally described as the parameters: handshape, location, movement, palm orientation, and non-manual markers.
grammar and syntax
The grammar (set of rules for proper use) of a language is developed by the group of people who use the language. New grammar rules come into existence when enough members of the group have spoken (signed) their language a particular way often enough and long enough that it would seem odd to speak the language in some other way.
If you don’t want to seem odd to others in your group, you’ve got to speak (sign) a language according to the rules which have been developed by the community which uses the language.
American Sign Language is tied to the Deaf Community. We use our language in a certain way. That “certain way” is what constitutes ASL grammar.
American Sign Language has its own grammar system, separate from that of English.
What this means is ASL grammar has its own rules for phonology, morphology, syntax, and pragmatics
syntax is the combining of words and signs to create phrases and sentenc
discourse
What holds all of these(Morphemes and phonemes, lexicon,grammar and syntax) things together, encompassing them all
lexicon vs discourse
the lexicon refers to the vocabulary of signs and their meanings, while discourse involves the structure and flow of communication, including how signs are used in context to convey messages effectively. Understanding both is essential for accurate interpretation and communication in ASL.
ASL discourse
refers to how language is organized in conversations
