3.1. Grammar: Compound Meanings
BSL COMPOUND SIGN 1 Word A compound sign is one that is created by combining two (or more) other signs example “think” and true”. The sign itself is “believe” There are two main types of compound in BSL – those that combine two signs sequentially, often creating an abstract new meaning( and often using arbitrary signs), and those that combine two sign simultaneously, often creating a more visually motivated signs. Sequential BSL Compounds e.g:- Say + Sorry = Forgive Think+ True= Believe Are often creations that have come in some way from a wish to represent a concept used in English. Simultaneous compounds such as:_ Plane + Rocket = Shuttle Or Phone + Type = MINCOM are more often visual creations |
