Syntax means word order and yes all are symbols even oral. However, ask a deaf person to fingerspell chair. They will not draw a concept. He will spell C H A I R. ASL cannot be non-verbal. Syntax is word order which is verbal.

Ok Tousi, if I'm spewing nonsense so much then why is it so difficult to get a straight forward answer. Because none of you have legitimate 1s. Ask any professional deaf person in the field of deaf ed and they will tell you. And remember to ask a deaf person, not a hearing, because hearing...

I am not getting mad about puerto rico. I could care less. And my wife is right here with laughing at this. She knows the bullshit interpreters try to pull. And it was obvious that you were thinking ASL is non-verbal. That is the common belief with uneducated interpreters. I am not saying I am...

How can ASL be a different language and still be put into English word order. And by the way, ASL is verbal communication believe it or not. You people that try to argue the subject always get stuck on this part. And I am full of shit? Please. You listen to the Interpreter trainers a little too...

The verbal or non-verbal is a simple question. How come you can't answer? I challenge you to answer.

CT is not signed English or SEE I or SEE II. It is just signing word for word. Deaf people had word for word before the SEEs even existed. Here is a name for you. George Johnston. Charter member of RID, ASLTA certified and 1 of the founders, and residential school graduate, Gallaudet graduate...

I know the answer already. I'm just curious about yours. And how long have you been involved in all this?

I'm curious, is ASL verbal or non-verbal communication?

People with scl are still supposed to sign word for word, not explain it. The teacher brought signing from france. His name was Clerc. The first teacher of the deaf in america. He was deaf. He had good English. Sign language is speech. Just like oral and written language. They can be any...

You're right. I jumped ahead of myself. Stokoe went into Gallaudet and learned sign on the job using American Signs in English order. When linguistic rules were established, it did not include signing in the "think tank". So, Stokoe misunderstood what was being signed. He knew some ASL in...

The other funny thing is that "terps" follow what hearing people have to say. They make up these signs and call them ASL. The people that control what happens in the deaf world have basically no knowledge of true deaf people. Deaf people sit back and take these signs from the "terps". Its just a...

Actually, Stokoe did know ASL when he developed SEE. As a matter of fact, the teacher that I am referring to knew Stokoe on a professional level. And, if you did your research correctly you would know that there were certifications in sign language and deaf history. Now it has changed to a...

I'm sorry. This is my first time posting here but everything I have read so far is an ongoing issue. My wife is deaf and I have been with her for 3 years. I taught myself sign at first online at asl.com. I then followed up with a few courses. However, everyone is getting this big misconception...
