1. A Basic Guide To ASL This resource is the first American sign language Dictionary made available to Internet users. Search the American sign language Dictionary. http://www.masterstech-home.com/ASLDict.html

A Basic Dictionary of ASL Terms Here are a few American Sign Language terms to help those of you who are trying to communicate with a person who signs, but does not hear. New word definitions are being added, and this will soon bring the total number of ASL terms to more than 1270! Also included is the basic alphabet and numbers 1-10 This dictionary has both animated and text definitions. The text definitions also have letter or number sign images to aid in visualizing the sign. This will allow you to quickly locate a word, read how to sign the word, and choose to view the animated sign if you wish. The sign images are displayed from the perspective of the viewer, not the signer. It is easy to remember this if you imagine that someone is signing to you while you are viewing the word definitions. In Sign Language, facial expression including the raising or lowering of the eyebrows while signing, and body language are integral parts of communicating. These actions help give meaning to what is being signed, much like vocal tones and inflections give meaning to spoken words. Special Interest Advertisements Our goal in making this resource available is to help those who desire to learn ASL, and enable them to communicate more easily with others.

About American Sign Language by Karen Nakamura accesses since July 13, 1995. This page was last updated on March 28, 2002. Table of Contents ASL Linguistics ASL as a foreign language Learning ASL and ASL Educational Programs ASL Dictonaries ... Reader's comments Sign Language Linguistics American Sign Language (ASL) is a complex visual-spatial language that is used by the Deaf community in the United States and English-speaking parts of Canada. It is a linguistically complete, natural language. It is the native language of many Deaf men and women, as well as some hearing children born into Deaf families. ASL shares no grammatical similarities to English and should not be considered in any way to be a broken, mimed, or gestural form of English. In terms of syntax, for example, ASL has a topic-comment syntax, while english uses Subject-Object-Verb. In fact, in terms of syntax, ASL shares more with spoken Japanese than it does with English. I have some information on Japanese Sign Language as well. Some people have described ASL and other sign languages as "gestural" languages. This is not absolutely correct because hand gestures are only one component of ASL. Facial features such as eyebrow motion and lip-mouth movements are also significant in ASL as they form a crucial part of the grammatical system. In addition, ASL makes use of the space surrounding the signer to describe places and persons that are not present. Sign languages develop specific to their communities and is not universal. For example, ASL is totally different from British Sign Language even though both countries speak English. Many people consider it a shame that there isn't a universal sign language (see below), however it's also a shame that there isn't a universal spoken language, right? I personally enjoy seeing the great variety and diversity of languages and the first topic of conversation when I meet a Deaf person from another country is an exchange of vocabulary: "How do you sign this? How do you sign that?"

var cm_role = "live" var cm_host = "angelfire.lycos.com" var cm_taxid = "/memberembedded" Medical American Sign Language Phrasebook American Sign Language is the most common language of Deaf Americans and Canadians. It is their native language, not merely a substitute for English words. In fact, many Deaf people are not fluent in written English and cannot simply write notes to communicate. Encounters with medical professionals require excellent communication, and Deaf patients may need to have a highly qualified professional interpreter present and in the US, they have a legal right to this at the medical provider's expense, if necessary to communicate effectively in the situation involved. On the other hand, there are many minor encounters where hearing and Deaf people will need to communicate. Scheduling an interpreter to be present for these would be impractical. It is a tremendous convenience for Deaf patients to be able to communicate in their native language in such situations. Many hearing people are interested in learning ASL. Movies like

17. The Straight Dope: Are Gorillas Using Sign Language Really Communicating With Hu Cecil Adams' research column on the divided scientific opinions about apes and language. http://www.straightdope.com/columns/030328.html

Home Page Message Boards News Archive ... Recent Columns Index Are gorillas using sign language really communicating with humans? 28-Mar-2003 Dear Cecil: What is the bottom line with Koko the gorilla's ability to learn sign language? I know she only communicates through her handler, who seems to engage in a great deal of subjective translation. I saw an excerpt in Harper's Magazine of a supposed Internet chat with Koko a few years ago that made me rather dubious that the gorilla was capable of any use of language. Nonetheless, there is a strong perception out there that Koko has learned to sign. What is the straight dope? Fabian Braithwaite Cecil replies: Don't be too hard on Koko, Fabian. If you judged strictly from Internet chat, you'd have to question the linguistic abilities of many humans. (D00dz!) Scientists have debated for years whether gorillas really understand language or are just, you know, aping us. The consensus among animal researchers seems to be that they understand at some level, but are less adept at using language themselves. When I read transcripts of Koko's alleged conversations I often think: Jeez, a trained monkey could do better. A couple obvious problems present themselves when one looks into this talking-ape business. The first, as you suggest, is that interpretation of the gorilla's conversation, if such it be, is left to the handler, who generally sees any improbable concatenation of signs as deeply meaningful. During the 1998 on-line chat you saw bits of in
