3. The top 5 ASL Myths Myth: #1 ASL is a signed version of English.
ASL is not English at all. ASL is a distinct language with its own syntax and grammar.
Myth: #2 ASL is only capable of communicating concrete ideas.
It is falsely believed that ASL is only capable of communicating concrete ideas. It is capable of communicating abstract and complex ideas. There is no limits to what can be expressed through ASL.
Myth: #3 ASL is a universal language
ASL isn’t a universal language. Deaf people around the world sign different languages just as hearing people around the world speak different languages. There are even regional differences in the US-signs can vary from state to state. (Today 200 different forms of sign language in existence worldwide.)
Myth: #4 Hearing people invented ASL
FALSE Sign has been around as long as deaf people in US, naturally created signs to communicate with each other.
Myth: #5 ASL has always been seen as the official language of the Deaf in America.
1800’s most deaf people were taught oralism, they were discouraged to use sign. People believed that deaf people needed to speak to be able to function in hearing world ASL established as language, before that students still used sign outside of class even though they couldn’t use it in class.

4. ASL up Close-Notes
Point 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.
I am, me You are(Plural)
You are They are
He, she, it is
We are, us

5. DEAF Knowledge *DVD* Interacting with Deaf People Getting Attention FS
Question-Maker
Do you “talk” silently while signing?

6. Question-Maker (Notes) DVD-Notes
Raising your eyebrows forms the Question-Maker, an expression that shows you are asking a question. Keep the eyebrows raised until you’ve completed signing the question. In the example, notice the only difference between question and a comment is the facial expression. The signs themselves remain the same.

7. The Yes/No Question Face-Notes
Raising your eyebrows forms a Yes/No Question face. This expression shows that you are asking a question that receives a yes or no answer. In the example, note that the signs stay exactly the same while only the facial expression differs.
FYI – Slowly shake your head at the beginning sentences starting with no.
