Where: Grossmont College, Room: Griffin Gate, Building 60-180A

Description: Have you ever struggled with how to represent a complex concept visually in ASL? Want to learn what ASL depiction is and use it effectively in your work? This workshop will introduce participants to some current approaches in the field of sign language linguistics, focusing on depiction and constructed action/dialogue. Participants will learn new ways 

of thinking about classifiers, role shifting, and will engage in activities including identifying and producing depiction, constructed action, and constructed dialogue.

Part II: Teaching Depiction

When: Sunday, April 14th, 2019 9am - 4pm (lunch included)

Where: Grossmont College, Room: Griffin Gate, Building 60-180A

Description: Many emerging signers and interpreters struggle to effectively depict complex concepts in ASL. Based on current approaches in the field offing language linguistics focusing on depiction and constructed action/dialogue, we will explore options that create more coherence: using reference points, changing the size of the representation, adjusting signer a

nd consumer's vantage points, etc. Interpreting mentors and ASL/Interpreting instructors will learn various strategies and exercises to teach depiction.


This workshop is limited to nationally certified interpreters and ASL/Interpreting instructors. Must attend Part I.
