New Study Day

Today we're going to go through some content from Vicars.

Earlier today, I watched a couple of videos on FB Reels.

Two that stick out were both from Atomic Hands.

First Video

The Hubble Telescope

Notes:

• Conceptualizing the ideas of East Coast-West Coast America.
• Note the different sign used for 'takes pictures of' since it's a satelite (flat O)
• This signer emphasizes STILL by signing it downwards rapidly.

Vocab

• Telescope
• Space
• Galaxy

Second Video

Fingerprints

Notes:

• MATCH as in the interlocking one, used to indicate that an almost exact matchp
• Lots of ways the signer suggests ideas about grip and friction

Vocab

• Fingerprints
• Identical
• Sweat

First Lecture

I figured I would do some Vicars today. Starting off with St. Patrick's Day (ASL vocabulary), posted 9 months ago.

Notes

• Lettuce in context: Cabbage
• Beef can be fingerspelled
• Feast: lots of moku
• movement often reduces for compounds.
• International sign for ireland has a variation where it's like a harp being played
• australia old sign used to look like ireland
• kidnap/seize, signed with a full grabbing S-hand, while the V-hand can also be used for recuiting. trafficking puts this idea underground (a nondominant flat hand)
• the leprechaun sign is like big elf ears, can actually conflict with the concept of 'elf', in which case an initialized version of 'Angel' can be used.
• "Good luck" could be signed with the signed for 'lucky' but it's more idiomatic to fingespell luck with the same gusto that you would sign initialized BACK.
• March fingerspelled gets a mutated c-h, and sometimes the m is also mutated.
• Pirate is also the sign for 'raiders'
• can do rainbow one-handed by glistening the five-hand a bit.
• signing a 'pot of gold,' you should indicate that the pot is full of something (lest you imply that it's a pot made out of gold)
• Rebel is upright, resist, is more like pushing something that's directly in front of you (pushing on you, even)

Third Video

By MJ Grant on FB Reels, Who doesn't love to wake-up happy?

Really need to get better at one-handed signing reception. I'm very bad at it.

Notes

• Her 'embarrassed' looks a lot like LPSL kulupu- not as much up and down/at and angle as what Joanna's Embarassed on Handspeak.
• In the sentence, '#TAYLOR SWIFT SING+agent IX ME FAN ME LOVE #HER', the 'her' really sneaks up on you. Why fingerspell in this moment? Curious behind the grammatical reasons.
• One handed CHAMP...
• Unsure how the R-hand thrusted to show a promise, mouthing 'Best Friends' is glossed.
• Ok so in another sentence, MJ does 'AND #SHE SIGNING". I think the fingerspelled pronoun is a form of emphasis!
• She fingerspells upset
• Forcing yourself back to sleep
• Day dreaming/lost in thought is like VISION many times

Vocab

• Embarrassing

• Singer

• Ruminate
