My Conversation On American Sign Language

Show More
My presentation is about American Sign Language. I decided to do this topic because students always ask me, "What is ASL and what can I do with this language?" So, I decided to talk about ASL and its benefits for adults and children. I really enjoy doing the assignment and adding the music in the background. Trying to upload a video from YouTube wasn’t working for me. At the end, I used my own video of my baby. In total I put 10 hours into this project. I got my pictures from the internet, clip-art pictures, and a personal picture.

    Sign Language Interpreter Case Study

    Being an American Sign Language interpreter of color can develop some hesitancy within the field. More specifically with interpreters of African-American descent, many people may be wary of how the interpreting or the Deaf community may react to their presence. However, what some interpreting students of color do not realize is that having a diverse background in this field is what allows for a multitude of settings to be interpreted effectively. Without differing backgrounds, interpreters and deaf clients would not, and could not, be well matched.…

    Wells Fargo Learning Sign Language Analysis

    In the t.v. genre, commercials are created with the intended purpose of grabbing the audience’s attention and drawing focus to the product being advertised. Commercials can attract a person’s attention with a plethora of devices such as a catchy jingle, flashy pictures, and an upbeat intro with a memorable slogan ( i.e. “Shamwow!”). In Wells Fargo’s “Learning Sign Language” a lesbian couple is seen practicing sign-language, incorporating into their daily routines. The commercial wraps up with the couple being introduced to a young girl for the first time, and it turns out the young girl is being adopted by the women and she is deaf, validating why the moms-to-be were shown learning ASL.…

    American Sign Language Essay

    While the definition of American Sign Language varies throughout institutions and settings, Dr. William Vicars defines ASL as “a visually perceived language based on a naturally evolved system of articulated hand gestures and their placement relative to the body, along with non-manual markers such as facial expressions, head movements, shoulder raises, mouth morphemes, and movements of the body” (ASL: a brief description, n.d.). More specifically, ASL may also vary among individuals. Pidgin Signed English, or PSE, is a combination of ASL and English. Since ASL is a distinct language, it does not translate perfectly into English, with many words and syntax rules differentiating.…

    French Influence On American Sign Language

    American Sign Language was influenced by France. Abbe de l’Epee was a priest in Paris. Once he visited a local minister’s home, he had seen two young girls were signing to each other. After that he realized that he can do something with that to help more deaf people. Therefore, in 1771, he established the first free educational institution of sign language in France.…

    American Sign Language Variations

    The purpose of this paper is to investigate the sociolinguistic variations of American Sign Language found across the United States. Variations of ASL based on regional, social economic background, and ethnicity will be discussed. Deaf Americans are as ethnically diverse as the general population in the United States. This is a multicultural group that differs in more than just skin color and ethnic heritage. They differ across a variety of dimensions like age, and extent of hearing loss, gender, geographic location, country of birth, communication preference, language use, educational level, occupation, and social economic background.…

    American Sign Language Pros And Cons

    American Sign Language (ASL) is the way that people who are deaf can communicate with each other and the rest of the world. American Sign Language has evolved over time and is no longer only used by those who are deaf. It is commonly used for people who are hard of hearing, completely deaf, people with autism and Down syndrome and other disabilities. Many parents have begun to use sign language with their babies so that the child will be able to talk before they are able to actually talk using their voice. When your child, who is deaf, is taught to use sign language it is a no brainer because that will be how they communicate from the rest of their lives.…

    Personal Narrative: American Sign Language

    If you asked me ten years ago what sign language was I couldn’t tell you, now American Sign language captivates me. I am so intrigued by the language and the culture, I think it is incredibly beautiful and I’ve met people who have changed my life because of it. When I was in tenth grade I signed up for my first year of American Sign Language class. I had previously learned the alphabet and a few random words in elementary school, but other than that I really didn’t know what I was doing.…

    William Stokoe: The Father Of American Sign Language

    Prior to the comprehensive works and visionary thinking of William Stokoe, the American Deaf community remained deprived of recognition as a culture and community that shared a complex and intricate language rich in structure and system. Shortly after Stokoe began his twenty-nine year exploration of Sign Language at Gallaudet University in 1955, the Deaf Community’s future as an acknowledged independent community became immeasurably brighter. Through almost three decades of research, observations, learning, and writing, English Professor William Stokoe Ph.D. brought validation to the Deaf Community through by publishing his findings, which not only earned him the title of “Father of American Sign Language” but also legitimized American Sign…
