Good job Jenny!
The version of "sick" at 15:30 , is that always a negative or can it be a positive depending on the facial expression?
Language is a dangerous thing to try to put in a box and say that something "can't" be used to create a specific meaning -- because over time the meanings of signs can and do change -- just as the English word "sick" changed to add the concept of "fabulous."
I will suggest that as of this time, in general, no, the sign "that-SICK!" doesn't have an inflection to make it mean fabulous -- even with a positive facial expression -- thus we have an example of a sign that doesn't map completely to its English gloss (or label).
Thanks!
nice ASL video
the woman did good
I’ve never hear of that word, chagrin
Why did you say you feel chagrin or chastipated?
"Chagrin" can be used for strong embarrassment or humiliation.
I don't know what you are referring to by "chastipated" -- seems like a misspelling to me.
@@sign-language wow, didn’t know that
You said you feel chagrin, why?
You and the woman did good.
That video was made years ago, I don't recall why I signed that. Maybe it was just part of the lesson. If you want feedback on specific parts of a video you need to include a time code In this format: 00:01
@@sign-languageyou spelled the word at 19:19 castigated
If you look at 19:35 you can see me respond to someone in the audience. At that time I use the sign "ask to me." In other words one of the students off camera had asked me "what does this sign mean?" (and then the student off camera showed me the sign that closes into a fist a the base of the throat). I then responded to the student that the sign can mean "I feel castigated" -- I went on to also explain that it can also mean "chagrin."
That sign has a variety of interpretations. Our goal in that particular class was to explore some of the more "advanced" interpretations or meanings of signs.
thank you
As Im watching this video, at the end, why do you feel humiliated?
I personally didn't feel humiliated. Rather a student (or possibly a colleague visiting class) asked me what a version of the "ORANGE-THROAT" sign meant. (That sign has a couple of different versions, I was showing the palm-back version. The sign generally changes from either a claw hand or loose C hand into a fist at the throat).
I explained that it meant "to feel chagrined."
Then we discussed that many people do not know the word "chagrinned" and I showed the students a thesaurus page for "chagrined" and pointed out that there were other, more common words that the sign could mean -- such as "to feel humiliated."
Note: It is an issue I occasionally cover at workshops in which I explain that some signs that many ASL teachers refer to as idioms are not really idioms.
Rather, some signs have a very specific meaning but that meaning is so nuanced that many interpreters and / or ASL instructors don't have a large enough (English) vocabulary to conveniently label the sign or interpret the sign into the highly specific English word or phrase to which it most closely corresponds. So instead they (incorrectly) call the sign an idiom. (Or the English label for the sign may be idiomatic but the sign itself is just a nuanced sign).
