We will look at the types of classifiers Slide3
Size and Shape Specifiers
(SASS)

escribe
certain physical characteristics such as size, shape, depth and texture of a noun as well as indicate its location in
space
Examples-
CL:1
Person walking, pencil, sprout
,
CL
: B paper, a

or a pie

What can you make?
Use a SASS classifier to describe something in the room.Slide5
Semantic Classifiers
R
epresent
nouns and can indicate the location of that noun and
it’s actions.
Example-
CL: 3- Car moving (any motorized vehicle)
CL: X- Person sneaking or slouched/sitting
CL: V- Person walking, 2 people walking,
Any others?Slide6
Semantic Classifiers
How could you use semantic classifiers to describe something?Slide7
Whole Body Classifiers
Using
the body to represent a look or action
Examples-
bird flying
a woman walk
a
man with a 6 pack muscular
body
a
person behaving
drunkenlySlide8
Whole Body Classifiers
How could you use body classifiers in a story? Demonstrate an example.Slide9
Body Part Classifiers
Describe parts of the body
and
its action by using designated handshapes and appropriate movements.
It enhances the story and gives the reader a clearer picture.
Example
CL V: Eyes
CL F: Eyes
CL 1: Legs, Tail
CL B: Animal Ears
CL X: Eyebrows
CL 1+B: HeartbeatSlide10
Instrument Classifier
D
escribes
how objects are handled or manipulated. The classifier adds specific information to the
sign.
Example
steering
a
wheel
hammering
a
nail
throwing shoe
at
someone
Slide11
Instrument Classifiers
Demonstrate how you would use an instrument classifier to describe something or the use of something.Slide12

ndicate
the spatial relationship between two or more things.
Similar to prepositions in English (in
, on, under, behind, above
etc
)
Car to Tree
Boy sitting on a tree
Person hiding behind rock Slide13
Locative Classifiers
Use the classifiers “tree” and “cat” to create a mini story (one sentence). Slide14
Classifier sub categoriesSlide15
Plural Classifiers
Shows more than one something
Row of cars
Books on a shelf
People standing
People sittingSlide16
Descriptive
Similar to
SASSes
, but shows movement and space
Pick up penny on floorSlide17
Element
Describes

Gas
, air, liquid,
Fire
chimney blowing
smoke
Waterfall
Roaring fireSlide18
