1. Mouth Morphemes
Mouth Morphemes: These play an important role in ASL. They are not simply mouthing English words. They have a specific association with the signed word and provide a structure for “conveying the message”.
We will learn 25 different Mouth Morphemes, however, it is important to know that there are MANY more in ASL!
