A discussion of various comonly used classifiers,
such as:
Descriptive Classifiers (DCL): also known
as size and shape specifiers, (SASSes). They describe a person or object.
Semantic Classifiers: represent categories
of nouns. For example, people or vehicles.
Locative Classifiers, show placement or spatial information about an
object. Sometimes indicate movement.
Plural classifiers: Indicating a specific
number or a non-specific number.
Instrument Classifiers, you use your hands (or an other part of your
body) to manipulate an "object."
Body Classifiers/Mime: You use your body
to "act out" or "role play." Sometimes this is like
"mime." Other times you just show the action (or interaction)
that is going on. Often this involves "role shifting."
Bodypart Classifiers: A specific part
of your body is doing an action.
