Some acronyms within the Deaf community are so commonly used and recognized that they do not follow the first letter circled pattern, but instead are fingerspelled in standard linear form. #ASL #Acronyms
Today’s example #ASL gloss is an example of using the sign of the day (ZIPPER) in context. See it signed at signingsavvy.com/sotd English Sentence: The zipper on my coat is stuck. ASL Gloss: MY COAT ZIPPER STUCK.
The circular motion differentiates an acronym from a straightforward fingerspelled element. #ASL #Fingerspelling #Acronyms
Today’s example #ASL gloss is an example of using the sign of the day (POETRY) in context. See it signed at signingsavvy.com/sotd English Sentence: I love to read poetry every night before bed. ASL Gloss: EVERY NIGHT BEFORE BED POETRY I LOVE READ.
When fingerspelling three letter acronyms, the first letter is produced with a tight circular motion away from center; the other two letters are produced as standard, linear fingerspelling. #ASL #Fingerspelling #Acronyms
Today’s example #ASL gloss is an example of using the sign of the day (STORY TIME) in context. See it signed at signingsavvy.com/sotd English Sentence: My library has ASL story time every month. ASL Gloss: EVERY MONTH MY LIBRARY HAVE WHAT? A-S-L STORY TIME.
However, when fingerspelling “Phyllis” instead of the repeated L’s is being held and moved, the L shape will be repeated as a short, forward tap in place because it appears in the middle of the word. #ASL #Fingerspelling #Linguistics
Today’s example #ASL gloss is an example of using the sign of the day (STRESS) in context. See it signed at signingsavvy.com/sotd English Sentence: I have been under a lot of stress recently. ASL Gloss: LATELY STRESS ME.
When Fingerspelling “Tinkrrbell” the L shape will be repeated as a slight slide because it appears at the end of the word. #ASL #DoubleLetters #Linguistics
Today’s example #ASL gloss is an example of using the sign of the day (PLUMBER) in context. See it signed at signingsavvy.com/sotd English Sentence: My plumber is short and bald. ASL Gloss: MY PLUMBER LOOK-LIKE WHAT? SHORT BALD
Today’s example #ASL gloss is an example of using the sign of the day (INVENT) in context. See it signed at signingsavvy.com/sotd
Other double letters are produced by holding the letter shape and sliding it slightly to the right (for right handed signers; to the left for left handed signers). #ASL #Fingerspelling
For example, in the name Lauren Redden Searing the Redden would be made by a small touch-release-touch of the thumb to the middle finger. #ASL #Fingerspelling
Today’s example #ASL gloss is an example of using the sign of the day (HUMOR) in context. See it signed at signingsavvy.com/sotd English Sentence: Melissa McCarthy's movies are always humorous. ASL Gloss: M-E-L-I-S-S-A M-C-C-A-R-T-H-Y HER MOVIES ALWAYS HUMOROUS.
Some fingerspelled letters are produced with a short, repeated contact movement. #ASL #Fingerspelling #Linguistics
Today’s example #ASL gloss is an example of using the sign of the day (EARTH DAY) in context. See it signed at signingsavvy.com/sotd English Sentence: My school celebrates Earth Day by planting trees. ASL Gloss: EARTH DAY MY SCHOOL CELEBRATE HOW? PLANT TREES.
Which letter is being formed, where the letter appears in the word and personal preference all contribute to those variations in fingerspelling production. #ASL #Fingerspelling #Linguistics
Today’s example #ASL gloss is an example of using the sign of the day (KINDERGARTEN) in context. See it signed at signingsavvy.com/sotd English Sentence: My mom teaches kindergarten. ASL Gloss: KINDERGARTEN MY MOM TEACH.
Today’s example #ASL gloss is an example of using the sign of the day (LOOK ALIKE) in context. See it signed at signingsavvy.com/sotd English Sentence: My two cats look alike. ASL Gloss: MY TWO CATS LOOK ALIKE.
