Understanding Inflected Signs and Influential Figures in Deaf Education

This unit explores inflected and uninflected signs, focusing on their grammatical applications. Inflected signs modify a word to express various grammatical categories such as tense and mood, while uninflected signs typically represent the base form for dictionary references. The unit also highlights the importance of verb agreements and movement in sign language, alongside key figures in the history of Deaf education, including Thomas Gallaudet, Laurent Clerc, and notable Deaf individuals like Beethoven and Halle Berry.
