Description
Sponsored by ASLInterpretersCONNect!
Numbers are an expression of fluency. Do you know how to correctly convey the following in ASL: Channel 4, four children, 4th in a sequence, and the last four digits of your SSN? Hint: only one is produced palm in, and only one is produced palm out.
Numbering systems differ in English and ASL. English is relatively straightforward with only two categories. ASL, however, has more than two dozen systems including names, quantifiers, sequential, and informational numbers.
While many systems are familiar, interpreters can struggle with 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, accurately articulate, and correctly use four specific numbering systems in ASL. Increase your language fluency in ASL with numbers!
Topics we will cover
- Recognize four specific numbering systems in ASL
- Articulate the 4 different systems correctly
- Understand the correct usage of each system in an ASL message
- View ASL numbers used in context
- Enhance language accuracy, competency and comprehensibility in ASL messages
