This week, I decided to watch a video about sentence structures of questions and answers in ASL. I chose to learn about this because I was feeling like that was the next step before I could have a conversation with someone. Something that I found to be confusing was that the sentence structures switch around. For example, instead of “what is your name?” it is “your name what you.” This is something that I think will take a lot of practice for me to remember. I felt slightly overwhelmed by the amount of vocabulary from this week, but the more I practice, the more comfortable I’ll be.
Two main types of questions:
- Wh-
- Eyebrows go down
- Lean forward
- Yes/no
- Eyebrows go up
- Lean forward
