A “classifier” is a type of sign that shows a general category of shape or function.

For example, a CL:C can show a cup. A modified CL:C (index and thumb) can show a large COIN. A CL:F can show a quarter or button.

Often when signing ASL we will ask if the person is familiar with a topic…then we will go on with our sentence. We do this by raising our eyebrows and signing things like: KNOW, REMEMBER, HEARD, SEE BEFORE…
