What is Deixis?

Can there be ‘one-word’ answers in ASL?

When making introductions, why is it important to state Hearing or Deaf early on?

Why do Deaf meeting Deaf often ask about what school they are from?

Is it culturally appropriate to shake hands, give a hug, or no physical touching when meeting a Deaf person?

Non-Manual Signals(facial grammar)

• In English, vocal intonation helps to clarify if you are asking a question or saying a statement.

• In ASL, these grammatical clues are given on the face.

• We will be learning special “facial grammar’ for ASL.

• This facial grammar or special facial expressions is referred to as

Non-Manual Signals (NMSs)

Last week we learned:

• To use a WH Face for WH questions,

• To use Deixis and a nod for a positive statement.

WH Face

• The WH Face is used when asking a Wh-word question.

• Common Wh-words are: Who, What, Where, When & Why.

• Look at your teacher to see how to make the WH Face.

Now you try it.

Eyebrows down

Review

Our next Facial Grammar is for asking a question that has a YES or No for the answer.

• Our textbook refers to this as the ‘Question Maker’ face.

• Other books call it a Yes/No Question.

NMS for Yes/No Questions

1. Eyebrows up

2. Slight head tilt forward

3. Hold last sign and eye-contact

Hand-Switching Use of Dominate Hand

Do you know which hand is your dominant hand?This is the hand you write with.This is also the hand you should sign with.In ASL most signs have more movement with the dominant hand.The other hand is often referred to as the ‘base’ hand of the sign.It is important to pay attention that you are consistent in use of

your dominant hand when signing.

Hand-Switching is a term used to refer to the practice of changing use of dominate hand mid sentence.

A Deaf person will still understand you if you hand-switch but it is startling to see, much like reading something that occasionally has a letter written backward in it.

Note: if you are ambidextrous, then you need to pick one hand to use as your dominant and stick to it.

Signing GoodbyeSigning Goodbye

The sign goodbye is a well-known way to say farewell.

Signing take-care is an informal way to say goodbye.

Often, goodbyes are never complete until plans are made for the next time friends will see each other again.

Shaking hands and hugging is common.

It is considered rude to leave a group of Deaf friends without saying goodbye to each person, which means farewells can take a long time!

Is this similar to how hearing people leave groups of friend?

Conversation 1WH-WORD Questions

NSN 1.5 WH-Word Questions

When you ask questions in spoken English, you use vocal intonation to indicate what kind of question you are asking.

For example, asking this English question “Are you a student?” your voice will go up at the end, and if you ask the question “What is

your name?” your voice goes down at the end. Similarly, ASL speakers ask questions using facial expressions, head

movements and pauses called non-manual markers. Like English there are two basic question types in ASL a wh-word

question and a yes-no question. Wh-word questions ask what, who, where, why, how etc.

NOTE: Non-Manual Markers is another name for Non-Manual Signals

Note: if absent, you will need to come in and make this up in the lab.

To ask a wh-word question, use these non-manual markers:

• Furrow brows together• Lean head forward slightly without breaking

eye contact with the listener• Hold the last sign (which should be a wh-word

sign) until your listener starts to answer.

NSN 1.5 Conversation 1

Michelle (A) and Ben (B) demonstrate this dialogue where they introduce themselves.

(note Michelle uses the name ‘Ann’ and Ben uses the name ‘Sam’)

A Greet, give name, and then ask for name

B give nameA and B express pleasure in meeting

each other.

Ask for a nameShown in slow motion, Michelle

demonstrates “ask for a name” from Conversation 1.

Pay close attention to the non-manual markers indicated by the arrows on video.

NSN 1.5 Beginning and Ending

ConversationsSince starting and stopping conversations

can sometimes be awkward, especially for people new to ASL, it helps to know how these signs are used:

These two signs are greeting or salutations.

NSN 1.5 Beginning and Ending

ConversationsHEY THERE or HAND WAVE

This sign is used to get attention

NICE TO MEET YOU

May be used after an exchange of names.

It is also a possible way to wrap up a first meeting.

NSN 1.5 Maintaining Eye-Contact

Be sure to look at the signer’s face, even though you may feel you would understand better if you could focus on their hands.

Remember that critical grammar is conveyed with facial expressions, and if you look away, you could miss the whole message.

Eventually it will become second nature to focus on the other signer’s face when using ASL.

Outcomes: Understands ASL was forbidden at school for the Deaf

and gradually gained acceptance in the 1960’s and 1970’s

Gains exposure to several learning strategies

Understands ASL and English are distinct and separate languages

Practice analyzing the root concepts of English words to determine similar or different ASL concepts

Focus:Focus: How do people learn

The majority of Deaf people are raised in families where deafness is not common.

Approximately 10 percent of Deaf people have Deaf parents and grow up in families where American Sign Language is used daily.

When these two populations came together at schools for the Deaf, those who did not know sign language, learned from the Deaf children with Deaf parents.

Often the use of sign language was forbidden at schools for the deaf but the desire for a natural, visual language could not be suppressed.

Many Deaf people can share stories of only being allowed to sign when class was not in session.

Hearing people who learned ASL tended to be children of deaf adults or individuals who worked with the deaf.

http://yourlifetimelegacy.com/07-deaf-children.html MASL P22

1. What percent of deaf people have deaf parents?

2. So these deaf children have the advantage of growing up in a family with what?

3. Where do the majority of deaf kids learn sign language? From whom?

4. In times past sign language was often _____ from the deaf school.

5. In the past hearing people who knew how to sign usually learned it where?

Focus:Focus: D P N

• In the 1960’s, ASL gained recognition as a unique language different from English,

• In the 1970’s school for the Deaf began using ASL to teach their students and sign language classes for hearing people mushroomed across the United States.

• By the 1980’s the Deaf community was considered a cultural minority rather than a group of disabled persons.

• An important change based largely on the successful Deaf President Now movement at Gallaudet University, the world’s only university for the Deaf.

• At the same time, Deaf accomplishments in the arts, film, and television brought wider exposure to the Deaf community.

• By the 1990’s American Sign Language became the fastest growing language offered as a foreign language, a trend that continues today.

• The best way to learn any language, including ASL, is to immerse yourself in the community where the language is used.

• Make Deaf friends and attend Deaf sporting, theatrical, and social events when invited.

• You will quickly realize there is a different “Deaf World” to learn about and participate in, provided you make the effort to sign.

• As a student learning ASL, it is up to you to learn the language and culture of the Deaf community.

• You can do this by being open-minded, practicing, and taking an interest in the Deaf community.

MASL P22

11. What is the best way to learn a language?

12. In addition to learning the language, you need to learn the ________ of the Deaf Community.

Focus:Focus: American Sign Language?

As a student studying American Sign Language, the following principles will help prepare you to learn this challenging visual language.

The most fundamental and essential point is to recognize and accept that American Sign Language is not English.

ASL has its own grammar, structure, and nuances that are designed for the eye, not for the ear, unlike spoken languages.

Remember that ASL makes visual sense and was developed to serve the language needs of a community of people who do not hear.

Other considerations to keep in mind:MASL P22

13.A fundamental point is to recognize and accept what?

14.ASL is a language that is designed for the _____ and not the ______.

Focus:Focus: Which Sign?

One word in English can have many separate signs in ASL, depending on the concept.

For example, the word “get” and “got” in the following sentences each uses a different sign.1.Please get the book…2.Please get him…3.I don’t get it….4. I get tired…5.I got home..6. I’ve got it…Look at MASL p23. There are pictures of six different

signs.– Can you figure out which sign matches each

sentence?MASL P22

15.Why is it that one English word can have multiple ASL signs?

Focus:Focus: Visualize the Concept

Though it’s a challenge, try not to translate word for word or sign by sign. Try to visualize the concept instead. Likewise, don’t worry about not knowing specific signs for the particular English phrase you have in mind; try to communicate by concept by pointing, miming, and using other signs you know rather than fingerspelling the unknown term.

Don’t fall into the habit of “talking silently” or whispering while you sign. You will learn how ASL uses the lips as part of its grammar. Some students rely on lipreading rather than signing skills, a sure way to become frustrated since most of the English language cannot be lipread! Using ASL sign while talking or “mouthing” English is not ASL.

MASL P 23

16. It is important to try not to ____________.

17. Instead you need to try to ________ the ______.

18.Why is it considered a bad habit to mouth English words when you are signing ASL?

Focus on the Face

As a beginner signer, you will want to keep your eyes on the hands of the person who is signing.

With exposure and practice you will learn to watch the signer’s hands, face and eyes nearly simultaneously.

ASL is not only comprised of signs but also includes specific mouth movements and head shakes and nods.

Eye contact informs the signer that you are paying attention.

Practice ASL and make Deaf friends and acquaintances in your community. Before long you’ll be given the compliment, “You sign like a Deaf person!”

Fingerspelling Names

NSN 1:3Fingerspelling

•In the Deaf community you introduce yourself by fingerspelling your name. Fingerspelling is a skill that requires a lot of practice to become proficient. Here are a few insider tips – learn them well and you’ll be on your way.

Fingerspelling Flow

•When you fingerspell a word, work on the continuous flow of one letter to the next, rather than spelling the word letter by letter. Avoid “bouncing” or “stamping” the letters as you spell.

Arm Position

•Keep your elbow down and your arm relaxed.

Hand Position 1:

Fingerspelling to a Person in Front•When You Fingerspell words to someone in front of you, be sure to keep your hand within what we call the “sightline” – the visual space between your face and your listener’s face. Your hand should be in front of your chin or slightly below. This way your listener can easily see both your face and your hand.

Hand Position 2: Fingerspellling to a Person Next to You

•When you fingerspell to a person on either side of you, orient your hand toward the person and within the sightline.

Hand Positions 3: Fingerspelling to Someone above You•When you sit and fingerspell to a person who is standing, move your hand up to face the listener within the sightline.

Here are a few suggestions.•Work on recognizing the shape and movement of letters and letter combinations. Begin with names of your classmates. Pick out two or three students at a time and learn to recognize their name when the teacher does the roll call. Continue adding two or three more names, until you can recognize everyone’s name.

Here are a few suggestions.•Work on catching the first and last letters of the word and use context (what is being discussed) to help you guess the word spelled.

Here are a few suggestions.•Don’t be timid. Ask the person to spell the word again and again – until you understand the word. Keep a list of words you have trouble with and ask a study buddy to spell the list to you.

NSN 1:3Fingerspelling – Fist Letters

• The manual alphabet is handshapes associated with the 26 letters in the English alphabet. You will learn more about how and when to use those handshapes throughout this workbook. We begin with practicing the “fist” letters –

A E I O S T M N.

• For all these letters, the thumb is an important element in forming the letters correctly. Pay close attention to the thumb position.

• View. Cinnie demonstrates the dos and don’ts of forming the “fist” letters.

• The letter “A” The thumb is straight up flush to the hand. Do not bend thumb over the fingers. The fingers are not tucked in.

• The letter “E” At least two fingers must sit on the thumb. Do not have the thumb overlap the fingers.

• The letter “I” The thumb curves over the index finger and stays tight to the fist.

• The letter “O” Don’t make a perfectly round “O” shape, instead make a relaxed “oval shaped O.”

• The letter “S” This is the “true fist.” Fingers are tucked in and the thumb straps over the index and middle fingers.

• The letter “T” Relax the index finger that crosses over the thumb. The index finger does not have to curl down tightly. The other fingers are not tucked in.

• The letter “M” and “N” The fingers sit softly on the thumb.

Be Awesome!
