25. Accent Steps That way is related to deixis. It is used to provide the general direction of an object or location. Emphasize distance by opening your eyes wide while pointing or using the sign for.

26. Name Signs Notes Name signs are highly valued in deaf culture. Having one shows you are accepted by the Deaf community. Arbitrary name signs are a combination of the person’s name and a location on the head, torso or hands where the sign will be made. Descriptive name sign shows a physical or behavioral trait the individual is known for. Short names often do not have name signs because they don’t take any more time to sign than the name sign. It is impolite for a hearing person to create a name sign instead of having one given by a Deaf person.

27. Deaf Culture Minute Most deaf adults live in larger cities across the united states. Jobs, social opportunities, Deaf- interest agencies, schools for the deaf, and interpreters are more plentiful in metropolitan areas than in isolated rural areas. The metro region of Rochester in New York state features the worlds highest per capita population of deaf people. Are there many deaf people in your area? Why or why not?

28. AND and OR Notes Do not sign AND Shift slightly from one side to the other. nod I LIKE COFFEE shift TEA. Do not sign OR. Use WHICH or shift with appropriate NMS nod nms I WANT COFFEE shift TEA. YOU WANT COFFEE shift TEA WHICH?↓

29. Is ASL Universal? Notes American Sign Language is NOT universal. Every country has its own signed language. ASL and FSL (French Sign Language) are about 60% the same. Thomas H. Gallaudet went to Europe to find different ways to teach the Deaf in America. He met Laurent Clerc’ in France and brought him to America to help educate our Deaf.

30. Topic/Comment Review Notes T/C is used most frequently with declarative statements. T/C is also used for WH questions. In topic/comment languages the signer presents information and then makes the information either a statement or question by adding a comment. English does not use topic/comment often so becoming used to ASL grammar can be a challenge. Keep in mind that while using ASL signs in English word order may be easy to do, it is no different than speaking in Spanish but following English word order.

31. Subject/Verb/Object REVIEW Notes SVO is more familiar to English speakers. However WHY often acts as a “bridge” or connector between two separate SVO phrases. ASL doesn’t use the sign BECAUSE—instead a bridge is used.

32. Bridges Notes A Bridge connects two short sentences like BECAUSE does in English. Use the WHY sign to connect these sentences. Remember eyebrows are UP on the WHY word because you are answering your own question. _t_ _neg_ _bridge_ CATS I NOT-LIKE WHY?↑ MEAN.

33. Practice the BRIDGE  She can’t go to the party. She works.  He doesn’t want a test. He didn’t study.  We are very scared. Signing is not easy.  Yesterday I was tired. I studied.  They are going to school. They are learning ASL.  Today I am happy. Tomorrow I’m going to the beach.

34. Vocabulary COMMENT TOPIC

35. Word Order Translation Change each of the sentences into Topic-Comment structure. 1. I’m happy. 2. Please open the door. 3. Who’s deaf? 4. Where’s the water fountain? 5. Is the party on Saturday? 6. Who walks home everyday? 7. I’m not confused. 8. Where are you going Saturday? 9. Where’s my paper? 10. I sleep on the weekends. 11. Is the restaurant over there? 12. Do you mind handing out the papers?

36. ASL Up Close Signs for MINE, YOUR, HIS, HERS, THEIRS, and OURS are called possessives. Use possessive signs to ask and answer questions, clarify statements, and develop conversations on a variety of topics. Possessive signs follow the same rules as deixis to point toward people and things, including eye gaze—only the handshape differs.

37. Whose is it? Sign each sentence  It’s my book.  Our teacher is deaf.  No, it’s not his. It’s Hers.  Your (plural) homework is due today.  My email isn’t working.  Your teacher is hearing.  Is this your DVD?  Her friend is named Glen.  It’s not mine. It’s yours.

38. Accent Steps Try not to use possessive signs when signing your name. Using them instead of deixis results in ungrammatical sentences like Mine name Joe or Their name Ann and Thomas. Remember that deixis conveys the verb to be, not possessive signs.

39. Accent Steps To emphasize the depth or brightness of a color, swing the hand forming the color away from you.

44. Vocabulary LOVE-IT ACT, SHOW ACTOR CAR, TO DRIVE DARK LIGHT MUSICIAN, SINGER TELEVISION WATCH Use LOVE-IT when signing about non-romantic “love” for things or people. LOVE-IT is often used instead of “like a lot” or similar phrases.

45. Love-it Sign the following sentences using Love-it. I really like going to the movies on the weekends. I love your car! They really like going to Mexican restaurants. She loved the movie but I didn’t like it. What do you really like?

46. True or False  His favorite color is blue.  No, his favorite color is green.  Your last name is Smith?  No, my last name is_____.  They aren’t listening to music.  Yes, they are listening to music.  We’re going to the movies on Saturday.  No, we’re going to the restaurant on Sunday.  They aren’t actors.  Yes, they are actors.

47. Agent Marker Notes The Agent Marker is the BODY sign added to a verb to make a noun. DANCE + BODY = DANCER READ + BODY = READER Some occupations don’t require the Agent Marker.
