In the last lesson, ‘egg’ is an example of a sign that is altered depending on context, in order to make sense, visually.\n\nAuslan signs tend to be based on what things look like, rather than how they sound. In English, some words have multiple meanings, such as the word “cross”.\n\nIt can refer to the shape of a cross, to feeling cross, to crossing the road. Each of these contexts is signed differently in Auslan.\n\nConsider the following words in different contexts:\n\nTrain (can mean to practise, or to catch a train)\n\nSeesaw (you need to show this visually – don’t sign the word for ‘see’ followed by ‘saw’/’see in-the-past’)\n\nPark (this can be a playground or a place to park your car)\n\nCan of drink (don’t sign the word ‘can’ (the opposite of ‘can’t’) – instead use the specific sign for soft drink)\n\nWake up (with this, you show your eyes opening – there is no need to add the sign for ‘up’)\n\nWhen you are signing, stop regularly and ask yourself if your signs make sense, visually. A lot of English words and phrases don’t make sense visually, and they need to be altered when you are signing.\n\nJokes in English that are funny because of a play on words often don’t make sense in Auslan.
