12. Thomas H. Gallaudet, 1848 Deaf Culture Notes • Gallaudet established Gallaudet University in Washington DC. He said, “American Sign Language is of great value to the deaf, but could also be of great benefit to the hearing as well… It is superior to spoken language in its beauty and emotional expressiveness. It brings kindred souls into a much more close and conscious communion than mere speech can possibly do.”

20. DEAF: will give first name, last name; background info; and school history. HEARING: will give first and last name and hearing status. IntroductionsDeaf Culture Minute—Notes Introductions in the Deaf community vary depending on whether one is hearing or Deaf. If you are Deaf, background information like where one goes or went to school is exchanged. If you are hearing, then you will be introduced as a hearing person who knows or is learning ASL. This exchange of information allows everybody to understand where he or she is coming from and reduces cultural misunderstandings. It is culturally appropriate to shake hands when meeting new people or greeting friends. Like many hearing people, Deaf friends often hug each other when saying hello and good-bye.

26. MouthingAccent Steps—Grammar Notes • Do you talk silently while signing? Some hearing people do this out of habit, and others think it helps Deaf people lipread. Only about 30% of the English language can be lipread. Deaf people lipread English, not American Sign Language, so don’t mix the two. Sometimes a Deaf person will “talk” silently to help hearing people understand what is being signed, but don’t with those who understand ASL. You will learn the role the lips have as part of the non-manual signals used in ASL. In the meantime, don’t pronounce the English translation on your lips while signing. ASL IS NOT ENGLISH!

38. Facial Expressions and NMSGrammar Notes • One noticeable difference between ASL and English is the use of facial expression and non-manual signals. Non-manual signals (NMS) are the various parts of a sign that are not signed on the hands. For example ASL adverbs are made by the eyes and eyebrows, and ASL adjectives use the mouth, tongue and lips. Two different types of NMS:facial expressions (emotions), which convey your tone of “voice” while you sign. The second is grammar.
