Course info

Course Description: This workshop provides a more in-depth look at ASL morphology. An understanding of ASL phonological structure and glossing principles will facilitate understanding of morphological structure and identifying ASL morphemes. 

 

Agenda: 

15 minutes: Review of basic morphology

20 minutes: Examination of morpheme structure, with brief review of glossing 

30 minutes: Morphological analysis activity

 

Learner Outcomes:

  1. Participants will be able to connect phonological and glossing principles to morpheme identification.
  2. Participants will be able to diagram the morphological structures off lexical signs and classifiers.
  3. Participants will be able to apply morphological analysis to assess students, evaluate progress, and/or write goals for clinical practice.
