Description
In this subject students will develop linguistic analysis skills and explore their own Auslan production in different contexts, for the purposes of interpreting. ‘Discourse analysis of Auslan skills’ will provide students with the opportunity to analyse the lexical, grammatical and discourse features of Auslan texts, by contrasting with equivalent English texts. In particular, the course will draw on discourse analysis in spoken languages and other signed languages, and apply them to the description and production of selected Auslan texts. Students will be encouraged to consider how Auslan is used in different contexts of situation to identify different discourse features in relation to register, style, form and function. Various discourse types (including narrative, conversation) and registers (including formal, informal, consultative) will be analysed, with students applying theoretical discussion to the practical development of their own Auslan skills. This unit will provide students with the fundamental language analysis skills needed in interpreting, as well as language skill development itself.
