Let's begin with a review of tape 4's vocabulary builder.0:28Watch and repeat.0:30I am closed.0:33I am open.0:36There are so many thoughts in my head that it needs support.0:41I am at rest, standing as if lying down.0:47I am stimulating my thinker.0:51Our usefulness is in suspension. Literally, we can't give you a hand.0:58I am attuned to the passage of time.1:03My genitals are unavailable.1:07My boom boom is unavailable. Good. Now let's learn some new grammar.1:14Can you tell what this woman is saying.1:20The hand push states a listener is directed away. The torso spiral says I am preparing to go elsewhere.1:27Put together, this sentence says you are sent away from my place.1:33Or in the colloquial contracted, get outta here.1:38Get outta here. See, putting compound phrases together is easy.1:44Let's go on. How about this phrase?1:49In a turtle-like reaction of humiliation, the shoulders raise, withdrawing the head, the place of knowing.1:56The mouth pulls to the side, indicating, I have nothing to say because my speaking orifice is distorted.2:03This compound phrase says, I can't speak of anything from the place of knowing, or in the contracted form, I don't know, or merely, I don't know.2:17What does this young lady mean?2:21The sharp raising of the head, an expression of shock, is translated as, oh.2:28The percussive planting of the weight into one hip says, I am made heavy and will remain in an unchanging position of personal certainty, an affirmation of me.2:38The elevated focus says, I am attuned to a more celestial level than is present.2:44These elements in concert then create the compound phrase, oh me God, or the variant, oh my God,2:54oh my God. Now you're getting it.2:59This phrase introduces the concept of abstract representations, unseen props.3:07Here, the arms are launched upward, symbolizing the jettisoning of invisible representations of self, belief systems, expectations, etc.3:17The percussive striking of the hands also utilizes unseen props, here punishing that which is outside.3:24The lips begin to form the letter F in an example of non-nonverbal translinguistic communication.3:31This compound phrase says, I am angry. I am angry.3:39Good job.3:42Conjugating the head. Head inflections modify meaning. Watch and repeat.3:49I am sensitive. In the anterior tense, I am smart. In the posterior tense, I am suspicious.3:59I am perplexed and am trying to see from a different perspective.4:03I confront you and am literally in your face. What, are you nuts?4:10You are free to imagine what it would be like to be horizontal with me.4:15In the anterior tense, I am dangerously insane. The posterior tense is to tense.4:24Now let's put some of what we've learned into conversational practice.4:29Watch and complete your new vocabulary. I have no weapon.4:35I scrutinize the totality of your physical form. I withdraw some parts of my physical form from consideration.4:45I have power in my pelvis.4:49My genitals are... unavailable.4:55I have no weapon. That's the idea. Let's try. Try a harder one.5:02I have no weapon. You are free to imagine what it would be like to be5:09horizontal with me. Get out of here.5:16I am relaxed, standing as if lying.5:22I am dangerously insane. I grant access to my face.5:31Oh my God. I withdraw access to my face.5:39I have a weapon.5:42I am5:45angry.5:47Good work.5:50On tape 6, we'll take a look at the mouth and what it says when it's not saying anything.5:56See you next time.
