2. Quick Review: What is phonology?

3. Phonology is a study of the smallest contrastive units of a language.

4. What two types of segments are signs segmented into?

5. Signs are segmented into holds and movements.

6. During the hold portion of a sign what parameters does that sign have?

7. Handshape Orientation Location Nonmanual

8. During the movement segment of a sign what parameters does that sign have?

9. Handshape Orientation Location (!) Nonmanual

13. What is morphology?

14. Morphology is the study of the smallest MEANINGFUL units of language and how those units are used to build new words (or signs).

28. [60] English: GREEN-HOUSE (Does that mean a house that is green?)

29. Compounds create new meanings. Example: THINK-MARRIAGE

54. When a right handed signer signs the concept “BELIEVE,” (which is made up from the signs “THINK” and “MARRY”) his left hand is formed into a “C” handshape while the right hand is signing “THINK.” This is an example of: [p58] a. weak hand anticipation rule b. reciprocity c. The simple sequence rule d. prediction rule
