Expansion in ASL
Expansion or contextualizing in ASL refers to the amount of detail or information conveyed to:
Clarify a topic, Expand an idea, or Provide illustration of a point
The discourse style of ASL uses frequent expansion, and
It's this process, which makes ASL visually dynamic and interesting.
ASL users typically share common experience and world view, the level of detail is often what makes a story, discussion, or lecture different or unique.
Expansion Strategies
The following are seven (7) strategies that have been identified as part of the expansion process:
1. Contrasting 2. Faceting 3. Reiteration 4. Utilizing 3D Space 5. Explaining by Example 6. Couching or Scaffolding 7. Describe then Do
1. Contrasting
Highlights one idea by juxtaposing two opposite ideas in order to emphasize the one.
This is usually by stating the positive, then the negative or the reverse occurs.
Sometimes it is sandwiched in between. Contrasts are often marked with a negative form:
"NOT", "NO", "CAN'T", "NONE"
? Example A: "(It's) HOT, NOT WARM, HOT!" ? Example B: "DESERT DRY, MOISTURE NONE, DRY!"
"BALLOONS FEW, NO, MANY BALLOONS!"
"GLACIER WATER, COLD, WARM NO, VERY-COLD, BRRR!"
Contrast the following:
1. I could barely stay awake during the teacher's lecture.
2. Mary is so humble. 3. The mansion is huge.
