Description
When telling a story, or even relating a concept that is more elaborate than two or three sentences, it is often helpful to use spatial organization to help establish people or locations that can easily be referred back to throughout your story. If you could imagine that when you were telling a story, rather than it being two dimensional like a painting on a wall, the format is more three dimensional, almost like a board game laid out in front of you. This aspect of signing helps us to create a miniature world that both we and our listeners can see and relate to. It allows us to quickly make a reference to things that we have already discussed, and to establish relationships between people and places and things. Just like playing a board game, when you move your token, everyone knows who is who and where each player is located on the board at all times. Similarly, we can move people around in the signing space directly in front of us to give our listeners a quick and immediate perception of who is doing what to whom and where. This function of signing can be just as exciting as winning a game of monopoly!
