English Conjunctions

“These CDs used by speakers and writers in order to express meaning based on

the interpretations of the listeners and readers provide semantic relations for the

semantic units whose interpretations they facilitate.”

PRACTICE Objective 2. Demonstrate proper use and placement of cohesive devices.

Directions: Gloss or video record how you would interpret the following:

Bill was born Deaf, and at the age of about 70, ah he was in pretty frail

shape….and so he needed a guide and an interpreter to get him around.

Now had my parents been Deaf, I would have known sign language from an

early age. But…I learned ASL at the hands of a series of talented Deaf

instructors, perhaps like many of you did.
