American Sign Language PARAMETERS

Definition There are 5 main parameters (features) in ASL that makes ASL a language. You will learn to recognize the parameters as you learn and use signs.

1. HANDSHAPE Over 25 hand shapes in ASL. Example: School, paper, and cheese Today and Now

2. PALM ORIENTATION Reflects the orientation of your hands. Example: Balance and Maybe Table and Baby

3. LOCATION Some signs are directional. Where the signs are placed (forehead, in the air) Example: See on face

4. MOVEMENT Specific movement of the signs affect the meanings. How you move your hands (downward, backward, wave, zig zag) Example: Happy and Enjoy Complain and cough

5. NON-MANUAL SIGNALS Specific non-manual signals (NMS) affect the meaning of a sign. Example: Late and haven’t Very-busy-as-a-bee/what you doing?

EXAMPLES Can you identify which parameters are similar and different? Pretty/Beautiful Relationship/Cooperate Grow/Plant Orange/Old Game/Go-steady/sports
