To illustrate the differences between a noun, a verb sign, and a directional verb, let us look at the following example:
- Noun = CAR
- Verb sign = DRIVE-car
- Directional verb sign = DRIVE-car-forward
The verb sign DRIVE-car can be modified. For example, if you move your hands forwards or backward, you change the meaning of the sign to DRIVE-forwards or DRIVE-backward.
Another way to modify the verb sign DRIVE-car is by using various facial expressions. For example, blowing up your cheeks and making big eyes to imply driving fast.
