American Sign Language pt. 2

from Why We Do What We Do · host Abraham

In this discussion, we get into the grammar and structure of ASL. We also talk about non-manual markers and their importance in communication for ASL speakers. We describe how to do several signs and get into a functional analysis of sign language. Of course, we get into some various interesting tidbits (tidboints, as we sometimes like to call them) and some things to know about deaf culture. Recommendations (Part 2)Abraham: Widow’s Bay (https://tv.apple.com/us/show/widows-bay/umc.cmc.1zzly0vah46bnvnwf0qkrjhh2)Shane: GOD//MAN - LOVES YOU EP Holidays (7/8/2026)Be a Kid Again DayCoca Cola DayMath 2.0 DayNational Freezer Pop DayNational Ice Cream Sundae DayNational Milk Chocolate with Almonds DaySCUD Day (Savor the Comic, Unplug the Drama)Air Conditioning Appreciation DaysBe Nice to New Jersey WeekNational Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee WeeksNude Recreation WeekendBlueberry DayWorld Allergy DayShark WeekLinks and References: https://www.nidcd.nih.gov/health/statistics/quick-statistics-hearinghttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congenital_hearing_losshttps://www.bridgesfordeafandhh.org/deaf-historyhttps://www.historytoday.com/archive/history-matters/no-longer-deaf-pasthttps://sk.sagepub.com/ency/edvol/the-sage-deaf-studies-encyclopedia/chpt/deaf-history-antiquity#_ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cy3mD7rH1aY https://www.northwestschool.com/programs/s-e-e-classes/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVNSrGy8lIw https://www.tactilecommunications.org/Resources/ProTactileBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/why-we-do-what-we-do--3419521/support.Support our podcast: www.patreon.com/wwdwwdpodcast
