The English sentence "I'm going to London next year!" can be interpreted into ASL gloss as "O NEXT-YEAR LONDON ME GO!"
To interpret the English sentence "I'm going to London next year!" into ASL gloss, we need to break it down and understand the structure and meaning of each word or phrase.
Here's an explanation of the ASL gloss for each given option:
1. O NEXT-YEAR LONDON ME GO!
The "O" represents the pronoun "I" in English. "NEXT-YEAR" represents the concept of "next year." "LONDON" stands for the location of the action, and "ME GO" translates to "I go." This option is a straightforward interpretation of the sentence.
2. O NEXT-YEAR ME WILL GO TO LONDON!
Similar to the previous option, "O" represents "I," and "NEXT-YEAR" represents "next year." "ME WILL GO" translates to "I will go," indicating future tense. "TO LONDON" specifies the destination of the action. This option also accurately conveys the sentence's meaning.
3. O NEXT-YEAR LONDON ME CAN'T WAIT!
The addition of "CAN'T WAIT" in this option represents an interpretation that conveys the speaker's excitement. While "CAN'T WAIT" is not explicitly mentioned in the English sentence, it captures the essence of the statement. So, this option provides a more expressive interpretation.
4. O ME GO LONDON NEXT-YEAR!
This option has a slightly different word order, but the meaning remains the same. "O" stands for "I," "ME GO" for "I go," and "LONDON NEXT-YEAR" for "to London next year." Though the structure is rearranged, it is still a valid gloss that conveys the intended message.
In conclusion, all four options are possible interpretations, each with slight variations. The best choice would depend on the context and the level of detail desired in the ASL gloss.
