3 common verb types in ASLHow do you use space to change meanings in ASL????
Plain verbs= “Have to point/index to indicate who or what”- a verb sign used with indexing or other pronouns to tell who did what to whom
Examples: LAUGH, BE-RAISED, SMILE, OPEN-BOOK, TO - SMELL, BUY, THINK, ACT, TALK, CHATTry to put these in ASL:Those four boys laughed at the girl. I bought a car last night. My teachers laughed at me. She smiled at me. I laughed at my mom. I was raised in Beaverton.
Directional/Inflecting verbs= “Person to Person” A verb sign that indicates the people involved in the action by where the sign
starts and stops in space. Can be used to “set up” a person in space to be referred to later The movement indicates two people in different spaces. Where the sign begins indicates the person doing the action, where it ends
indicates the person who the action is being done to. Examples: TELL, ASK, GIVE, LOOK-AT, SHOW, HELP, GIVE-GIFT, PICK-ON, MAKE-FUN-OF, TEASE, JOIN

Locational/Spatial verbs = “Place to Place” A verb sign that indicates the places/locations involved in the action by where the
sign starts and stops in space. Can be used to “set up” a place in space to be referred to later The movement indicates two places in different spaces. Where the sign begins indicates the beginning location, where it ends indicates
the ending location. Examples: MOVE, FLY-TO, COMMUTE-TO, ARRIVE, ENTER, MEET, BRING, GO-TO, DRIVE-TO
