  4. Did you notice how I used my facial expressions to ask you about what the objects were?

  5. Well, now let’s talk about facial expressions also known as non-manual signals

  6. Hands aren't the only important things in ASL and Deaf culture. For the Deaf, the face is a fountain of information that quenches your every thirst for content and meaning. • Facial expression is vital to understanding precisely what the ASL hands are saying in context.

  7. Hearing people know when someone is mad or glad without looking at the person because the tone and volume of the voice give clues to the person's emotional state. • Deaf people determine tone and volume by looking at the facial expression of the speaker. • Facial expressions not only tell emotion, but in ASL, your facial expression also acts, grammatically speaking, as an adverb or as an adjective!

  8. Facial Expressions and Non-Manual Signals • Non-manual signals (abbreviated NMS) are the various parts to a sign that are not signed on the hands. • For example, ASL adjectives use the mouth, tongue and lips. • One important group of NMS are facial expressions, which convey your tone of “voice” while you sign.

  9. Facial Expressions and Non-Manual Signals • Your facial expressions should match the meaning and content of what you are signing so if you are signing I am happy, then look happy!

  10. Comparisons I’m not afrai....…I am afraid……………..I am terrified bored vs. really bored stressed vs. stressed out! I’m not excited………..…excited…………….thrilled! mad……………..angry……………….furious (“blew my top”)

  11. It is normal to feel awkward or uncomfortable making different facial expressions at first, but with practice you will become more confident and skilled. • Without them you cannot sign questions, show interest, or carry on a satisfying conversation. • Think of learning facial expressions as a fun challenge!

  12. Sentence Types How do you show whether a sentence is a yes or no question or a wh-question in American Sign Language ?

  13. By looking at the signers facial expression, especially his/her eyebrows and his head movement.
