Using Mouth Morphemes to Help Describe Clothing& & Accessories

What are Mouth Morphemes? Mouth Morphemes, also referred to as Non-manual Signals (NMS), are used to convey meaning of a sign. NMS refer in general to those aspects of ASL which do not involve the use of hands. NMS are extremely important in ASL.

What role do NMS play? 6 different roles: 1.Reflections of emotional states 2.Constructed action 3.Conversation regulators 4.Lexical 5.Grammatical markers 6.Modifiers (Adverbs)
