Inflections for Temporal Aspect
Some verbs in ASL may be inflected for various purposes, i.e., to show who did what to whom, to show how something is moved from one location to another, or to show manner of movement. Inflections involve a change in the movement of the sign. The type of inflection discussed here is for temporal aspect, and shows the frequency or duration of action represented by the verb. If, for example, you want to complain about your health or an on-going personal problem, you would most likely inflect the verb sign to indicate how frequently or how long the problem has occurred.Slide3
Uninflected Form
If a problem, activity or situation has occurred only once, use the
uninflected form
, which is the basic form of the verb with its basic movement. This is an example of an uninflected verb.
