  10. Pointing is a logical feature of a signed, non-spoken language. It is not considered rude or impolite. If a person or object is not visible, point to an empty space and continue signing. Using the index finger to point is called deixis. Vocabulary DEIXIS I AM, ME YOU ARE HE, SHE, IT IS WE ARE, US YOU ARE (plural) THEY ARE Deixis – Grammar Notes

  12. Thomas H. Gallaudet, 1848 Deaf Culture Notes • Gallaudet established Gallaudet University in Washington DC. He said, “American Sign Language is of great value to the deaf, but could also be of great benefit to the hearing as well… It is superior to spoken language in its beauty and emotional expressiveness. It brings kindred souls into a much more close and conscious communion than mere speech can possibly do.”

  15. Closing Signals… Grammar Notes • Pointing back to yourself or the person you are talking about shows completion of a train of thought. • Closing signals are especially important when asking questions using the Question Maker or the WH-Face. Remember to use a closing signal when: • Making a statement or comment about yourself or somebody else. • Asking a question. • NMS: matches the emotion • I LIKE COFFEE I.

  20. DEAF: will give first name, last name; background info; and school history. HEARING: will give first and last name and hearing status. IntroductionsDeaf Culture Minute—Notes Introductions in the Deaf community vary depending on whether one is hearing or Deaf. If you are Deaf, background information like where one goes or went to school is exchanged. If you are hearing, then you will be introduced as a hearing person who knows or is learning ASL. This exchange of information allows everybody to understand where he or she is coming from and reduces cultural misunderstandings. It is culturally appropriate to shake hands when meeting new people or greeting friends. Like many hearing people, Deaf friends often hug each other when saying hello and good-bye.

  21. DEAF FRIEND HARD OF HEARING HEARING INTRODUCE MEET MY NICE NICE TO MEET YOU WANT Vocabulary

  22. CHAT ONE Signer A: Hi! How are you? Signer B: I’m fine. How are you? Signer A: I’m good. I’m Eric Morse. I’m Deaf. Signer B: Hi. My name is Chris Sarn. I’m hearing. CHAT TWO Signer A: What’s up? How are you? Signer B: I’m busy. How are you? Signer A: Same old. I want you to meet my friend Cara. Signer B: Hello, Cara. How are you? Signer C: I’m fine. Nice to meet you. Try these…

  23. Introducing a Friend • Watch the video… • Practice signing with a partner… • Signer A: Hi what’s up? I want to introduce my friend. Her name is Lisa. She is hearing. • Signer B: Hello. Nice to meet you. My name is Sean. I’m Deaf. How are you?

  24. Interacting with the DeafDeaf Culture Notes • View the DVD: Culture Note • To get a Deaf person’s attention • Tap shoulder • Wave hand • Turn off voice • It is rude to talk in a Deaf person’s presence.

  25. The Question-Maker ASL Up Close: Grammar Notes • Raising your eyebrows forms the Question-Maker, an expression that shows you are asking a yes/no question. Keep the eyebrows raised until you’ve completed signing the question—add the closing signal or question mark sign. • Watch the DVD.

  26. MouthingAccent Steps—Grammar Notes • Do you talk silently while signing? Some hearing people do this out of habit, and others think it helps Deaf people lipread. Only about 30% of the English language can be lipread. Deaf people lipread English, not American Sign Language, so don’t mix the two. Sometimes a Deaf person will “talk” silently to help hearing people understand what is being signed, but don’t with those who understand ASL. You will learn the role the lips have as part of the non-manual signals used in ASL. In the meantime, don’t pronounce the English translation on your lips while signing. ASL IS NOT ENGLISH!

  27. ASL BATHROOM GO TO LEARN NO PLEASE AGAIN, REPEAT TO SIGN, SIGN LANGUAGE SLOW, SLOW DOWN THANK YOU YES Vocabulary

  28. Hello, my name is Pat. I’m learning ASL. What is your name? Are you Deaf? Please sign slowly. I want to meet you. What is your name? I’m hearing. Are you? 6. Hi, what’s up? Nice to meet you. 7. Are you hard of hearing? 8. Tom is hearing and learning ASL. 9. Please sign again. 10. I want to learn ASL. Making Conversation—GLOSS

  29. DeixisAccent Steps—Grammar Notes • When you use deixis, look towards the area you’re pointing to. This is called eye gaze and helps “hold” that location for the person or thing you’re signing about.

  30. Asking Questions • Use the Question-Maker to ask your partner these questions. Respond in a complete sentence including the closing signal. • Are youlearning sign language? • Are you hearing? • Do you want to learn ASL? • Do you want to meet my friend? • Good morning. How are you?

  31. Correcting Information • Use the Question-Maker to ask your partner these questions. Respond in a complete sentence including the closing signal. • Is she paying attention? • Yes, she is paying attention. • Are you sick? • No, I’m fine. • Do they want to learn ASL? • Yes, they want to learn ASL. • Are you sleepy? • Yes, I’m sleepy. • Are you Deaf? • No, I’m hearing.

  34. History about the Deaf and EducationDeaf Culture Notes • ASL Language History • 1960s: Recognized as a unique language. • 1970s: ASL begins being used to educate the Deaf • 1980s: Identified as a cultural minority greatly due to DPN • 1990s: Fastest growing foreign language in America

  35. DeafnessDeaf Culture Notes • The majority of Deaf people are raised in families where deafness is not common. • Is not always genetic. Only 10% of Deaf children have Deaf parents • Often the use of sign language was forbidden in school. • Most Deaf children learned ASL on the playground.

  36. ASL = LanguageGrammar Notes • ASL is a language. • ASL is not English. • It has its own grammar, structure, and nuances that are designed for the eye, not for the ear. • It is not universal—it is used in America and Canada. • ASL and FSL are about 60% the same

  37. She is happy. My name is Fred. He wants to learn ASL. They are Busy. He is named Tomas. We are hearing. Where are all the little words?

  38. Facial Expressions and NMSGrammar Notes • One noticeable difference between ASL and English is the use of facial expression and non-manual signals. Non-manual signals (NMS) are the various parts of a sign that are not signed on the hands. For example ASL adverbs are made by the eyes and eyebrows, and ASL adjectives use the mouth, tongue and lips. Two different types of NMS:facial expressions (emotions), which convey your tone of “voice” while you sign. The second is grammar.

  39. BLANK FACE BORED EXCITED FACIAL EXPRESSIONS MAD, ANGRY SAD SICK SCARED, AFRAID Vocabulary

  40. Accent Step • It is normal to feel awkward or uncomfortable making facial expressions at first, but with practice you will become more confident and skilled. Without them you can’t sign questions, show interest, or carry on a satisfying conversation.

  41. Using Non-Manuals • You have already begun using two important non-manual signals when you sign yes or no. These are called head nod and head shake. Use these when you sign YES and NO. • Yes/No questions would be incomplete without the head nod or shake.

  42. Try these… • I’m not Deaf. I’m hearing. • Yes, I’m learning how to sign. • I didn’t go to the bathroom. • They aren’t sick. • We aren’t busy. • You don’t have to use signs for DON’T or NOT. Just use the head shake for now.

  43. CAN, MAY CAN’T, MAY NOT DON’T KNOW DON’T LIKE DON’T UNDERSTAND I’M NOT, NOT ME TO KNOW LIKE UNDERSTAND Vocabulary

  44. Q & A • Can I go to the bathroom? • No, you can’t. • Do you understand the homework? • Yes, I understand the homework. • I’m not Marie. I’m Pat. • I didn’t understand. Please sign it again. • I don’t understand. Do you? • No, I don’t understand. • I don’t know his name. Do you? • I know his name. He is _____.

  45. Conversation—Gloss and SignWho will you be? I will tell you—practice both parts. • Alan: Hi. My name is Alan. What’s your name? • Holly: My name is Holly. Nice to meet you. • Alan: Are you Deaf? • Holly: No, I’m hearing. I’m learning ASL. Do you know how to sign? • Alan: Yes, I can sign. • Holly: Are you Deaf? • Alan: No, I’m not Deaf. I’m hearing. I sign okay. I want to sign well. • Holly: Me too. I want to understand ASL. • Alan: Do you want to meet me tomorrow morning? • Holly: Yeah. I’ll see you tomorrow. Good-bye. GRADE! Don’t trust your partner to do it all.

  46. Saying GoodbyeDeaf Culture Notes • Deaf people take a long time to say “goodbye” at social gatherings.
