“Handy Tools for Talking Hands” an ASL skill building workshop Presented by Crom Saunders
ASL is a visual language, and requires the capability to visualize discourse in a non-linear, 3-D space, involving shifts in time, perspective, and dialogue/narrative roles. Doing a narrative in ASL requires a working knowledge of ASL linguistic features.
This workshop reviews and expands on the features of ASL linguistics with cultural and storytelling potential. These are skills that can be applied equally to everyday ASL conversation or to interpreting situations in just about every context. This workshop will go beyond just vocabulary and classifiers/constructed action, into discourse features, non-manual markers, visual vernacular and encapsulation.
