(3 points)
S*T*A*R'S
H-Y-P-H-E-N-S
SPACES
lowercase letters
1. Capitalization: Fingerspelling in ASL gloss is indicated by capital letters for each individual letter of the fingerspelled word. For example, the word "STAR" in fingerspelling would be written as S*T*A*R'S.
2. Hyphens: Hyphens are used to separate the letters in ASL gloss. Each letter is represented by a hyphen, indicating a separate sign for each letter. For example, the word "HYPHENS" in fingerspelling would be written as H-Y-P-H-E-N-S.
3. Spaces: Spaces are used to indicate gaps between separate fingerspelled words or distinct signs. This helps to clarify where one fingerspelled word ends and another begins. For example, if the sentence includes the fingerspelled words "STAR" and "HYPHENS," there would be a space between them in the ASL gloss like this: S*T*A*R'S H-Y-P-H-E-N-S.
4. Lowercase letters: Lowercase letters are used in ASL gloss to represent fingerspelled words that are used as a classifier or classifier phrase. These are specific handshapes used to represent a certain category of objects or actions in sign language. For example, "1-CL" would indicate the classifier handshape for a person or human. However, lowercase letters are not used when specifically indicating fingerspelling.
