Enactment
Enactment entails becoming the entity which the signing person is describing. For example, this may be through facial expressions, mimicking behaviours or demonstrating actions.
Pointing Signs
Pointing signs are made with an extended index finger, whist the other fingers and thumb are tucked into a fist. This can be used to refer to self, another person, an object, entity or location.

Depicting Signs
As a general rule, depicting signs do not have a sensible meaning which can be listed in a dictionary because their meaning is either too general or too narrow and context specific.
Depicting signs may be used to refer to the location, movement, displacement, size, shape or handling of an entity (Johnston, 2014).

SASS - Size and Shape Specifier
Outline an object’s shape and size. There are three types:
Entity
Entity represents the location and movement of people, animals or objects. A vertical pointed index finger represents humans, a horizontal pointed index finger for animals and a flat hand shape for transport. Additional fingers may be extended to specify the number of entities. These hand shapes my show the path or manner of movement of the entity. Entity hand shapes can be used simultaneously to describe the relative locations and movements of two (or more) separate things.

SASS - Size and Shape Specifier
Outline an object’s shape and size. There are three types:
- Surface (eg: a flat hand describing a winding road)
- Depth and width (eg: two cupped hands showing the size of a tree-trunk)
- Perimeter-shape(eg: pointing fingers tracing an outline of an object's external shape)
Entity
Entity represents the location and movement of people, animals or objects. A vertical pointed index finger represents humans, a horizontal pointed index finger for animals and a flat hand shape for transport. Additional fingers may be extended to specify the number of entities. These hand shapes my show the path or manner of movement of the entity. Entity hand shapes can be used simultaneously to describe the relative locations and movements of two (or more) separate things.
Handling
Imitate the hands interacting with an object. There are three types:
- Holding (eg: holding a cup)
- Touch (eg: wiggling fingers typing)
- Instrumental (eg: fingers representing cutting with scissors)
