Description
Part of the 2010 Impartation Conference! “More than a conference, but an encounter with God!”
Do you know how to correctly convey the following in ASL: Channel 4, four children, 4th in a list, and the last four digits of your SSN?
Numbering systems differ in English and ASL. English is relatively straightforward with only two types: cardinal and ordinal numbers. ASL, however, has more than a dozen different categories including order, informational, quantifiers, and numerals.
While many systems are familiar, interpreters can struggle with knowing which system to use. This is especially true with some of the more unique systems. Expressing ASL numbers incorrectly can make an interpreted message difficult for Deaf viewers to understand.
Using signed video texts, participants will learn to recognize and use different numbering systems in ASL. Participants will also develop skill in articulating numbers accurately.
Topics we will cover
- Recognize four different numbering systems in ASL
- Learn how to articulate the 4 different systems
- Know when to use a particular system in an ASL message
- View ASL numbers used in context
- Enhance language accuracy, competency and comprehensibility in ASL messages
Four-hour workshop:
8:00-10:00 AM
