2023年6月15日 · There are a variety of "right ways" to structure your sentences in ASL. You can use more or fewer signs and rearrange them depending on the context of your sentence and what you want to emphasize.

In American Sign Language (ASL), you can choose to assemble the words in your sentence in different orders, depending on the content of your dialogue. Some sentences should be signed in a natural English order because rearranging them would cause confusion.

Sentences comes in a variety of shapes and lengths. There are generally four types: simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex. Sentence structure is how all the parts of a sentence fit together. A sentence generally requires at least a subject and a verb, sometimes except for a command.

Basic sentence structure in ASL follows the pattern of Time + Topic + Comment. The word order can change depending on the needs of the signer, but this is the most common format. Time = Any necessary time indicators (establishes tense) Topic = …

In general, the word order follows a “Subject” + “Verb” + “Object” sentence structure. You will also see the structure “Time” + “Subject” + “Verb” + “Object”, or “Time” can be at the end of a sentence. English: I went to Ireland a year ago. ASL: last year me went (go + finish) Ireland. “Subject” – Me. “Verb” – went (go + finish) “Object” – Ireland.

2024年10月3日 · American Sign Language uses its own sentence structure that's nothing like spoken English. ASL uses a topic-comment sentence structure. That means a sentence in ASL starts with the topic and ends with a comment or description about that topic.

Sentence structure is how all the parts of a sentence fit together, such as subject, predicate, direct object, indirect object. A sentence generally requires at least a verb and a subject, sometimes except for a command.

The generally accepted and used sentence structure in ASL is referred to as "Topic-Comment" structure. This means that the central information -- the thing you're about to talk about -- goes first in the sentence.

In general, the order of our words in a sentence follows a "TOPIC" "COMMENT" arrangement. This is could also called "subject" + "predicate" sentence structure. Plus you will often see this structure: "TIME" + "TOPIC" + "COMMENT." I personally prefer the first version.

Just like English, every ASL sentence consists of a subject and a predicate. Subject - The noun or noun phrases in the sentence. Describes the main focus of the sentence - the person, place, thing, idea, or activity. Predicate - A predicate can be a verb, a noun, an adjective, or a classifier.
