American Sign Language

High islands wrest substantial moisture from the ocean air; they tend to be well watered and have good volcanic soils. As a result, agricultural products show some diversity, and life is reasonably secure

You can use the third conditional in an essay to talk about unreal situations in the past and their hypothetical outcomes. For example, you could say "If he had studied harder, he would have passed the exam." This structure is helpful for discussing scenarios that didn't happen but could have had different results under different conditions.

Sandra's husband had been an improvident man, who left many debts behind him when he died suddenly of a heart attack at the age of 50.

SAVE is done with both wrists crossed in front of you (like LOVE but not against the chest). Then turn them out like your breaking out of chains.

Adding a person marker turns it to savior. Start with both palms facing each other at chin-level and drop them down to waist level.

The sign for "twenty-first" in American Sign Language (ASL) is made by signing the number "21" using a combination of hand shapes.

This would greatly depend on the context of the sentence or the setting in which this took place. Words such as "if" and "would" may be omitted or juxtaposed with another sign in ASL.

The sign for if, is a finger-spelled "if"; which varies in direction depending on the location of the next word. "Would" is typically signed with a finger spelled w-d slightly below the chin or at or slightly below chest level.

For example consider "If I wanted that I would have bought it." In a sentence of this type, the "if" may be the only word used between the two words "if" and "would" {If [omitting the 'I' pronoun if the person being discussed is understood"] wanted [point to object] [omitting the 'I' again if the person being discussed is understood"] bought [possibly ommitting the "it"; or pointing to the object, or a generalized "there" or a mimed pointing sign for the word "it"}

Consider "If a cat came in my house, I would scream." In ASL "If cat come house mine, me scream."

Now consider: "If the Canadians attacked the U.S. would the U.S. be ready for an invasion." (Depending on the setting the "would" may be used here, because of the prevalance of importance. For example if this was said between friends it may look like this: "If Canada attack U-S {pause} U-S (or 'we', or 'they' sign) {possibly omitting 'be'}ready for invade {question mark sign, or questioning mimed gesture.} However, if this was in the President's Office at the White House being interpreted for a deaf government official it may look more like this: If Canada attack (or bomb) {the America melting pot sign} 'would' 'we' or 'military' {possibly using U-S before 'military' or replacing 'military' with the 'nation' sign} {possibly ommitting 'be'} ready {omitting 'to} fight {possibly replacing 'fight' with 'retaliate'} {then questioning Stare, rather than questioning mime sign.}

More often than not, however, the 'would' is omitted in these types of sentence whearas the 'if' remains.

But, supposing I said "I would like to go to the game tommorrow." it may look more like this: "I would like go game tommorow."

To sign "groom" as in husband in American Sign Language (ASL), use the same sign as "BRIDE" but signed on the opposite side of the body to differentiate between the two signers. This sign is made by bringing both fists up in front of your shoulders with your thumbs touching your shoulders, then bringing your dominant hand down in a swooping motion in front of your body.

Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet's neighbor had a daughter named Alice, who was Deaf and had no language. This was in the early 1800's, at there was no school for the Deaf at this time, nor really any sort of Deaf education. (the solution at that time was to put your deaf child in an institute.) Gallaudet traveled to Europe in to learn how they taught their Deaf, at the few schools they had. He met Laurent Clerc, a French Deaf Educator, and brought him with him to America. Clerc used FSL, French sign language, that was combined with Gallaudet's signs, student signs, home signs, etc, and it evolved into American Sign Language. ASL, like all languages, has a much more in depth history, but hopefully this overview gives you a general idea. You can also check out http://www.gallaudet.edu, or take a Deaf culture class if available in your area.

Where were you when the world stopped turning that September day

Out in the yard with your wife and children

Working on some stage in LA

Did you stand there in shock at the site of

That black smoke rising against that blue sky

Did you shout out in anger

In fear for your neighbor

Or did you just sit down and cry

Did you weep for the children

Who lost their dear loved ones

And pray for the ones who don't know

Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble

And sob for the ones left below

Did you burst out in pride

For the red white and blue

The heroes who died just doing what they do

Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer

And look at yourself to what really matters

I'm just a singer of simple songs

I'm not a real political man

I watch CNN but I'm not sure I can tell you

The difference in Iraq and Iran

But I know Jesus and I talk to God

And I remember this from when I was young

Faith hope and love are some good things he gave us

And the greatest is love

Where were you when the world stopped turning that September day

Teaching a class full of innocent children

Driving down some cold interstate

Did you feel guilty cause you're a survivor

In a crowded room did you feel alone

Did you call up your mother and tell her you love her

Did you dust off that bible at home

Did you open your eyes and hope it never happened

Close your eyes and not go to sleep

Did you notice the sunset the first time in ages

Speak with some stranger on the street

Did you lay down at night and think of tomorrow

Go out and buy you a gun

Did you turn off that violent old movie you're watching

And turn on "I Love Lucy" reruns

Did you go to a church and hold hands with some stranger

Stand in line and give your own blood

Did you just stay home and cling tight to your family

Thank God you had somebody to love

I'm just a singer of simple songs

I'm not a real political man

I watch CNN but I'm not sure I can tell you

The difference in Iraq and Iran

But I know Jesus and I talk to God

And I remember this from when I was young

Faith hope and love are some good things he gave us

And the greatest is love

I'm just a singer of simple songs

I'm not a real political man

I watch CNN but I'm not sure I can tell you

The difference in Iraq and Iran

But I know Jesus and I talk to God

And I remember this from when I was young

Faith hope and love are some good things he gave us

And the greatest is love

The greatest is love

The greatest is love

Where were you when the world stopped turning that September day

To my knowledge (though I may be incorrect) William Stokoe developed the first three cheremes in American Sign Language, and I believe (though again, I may be wrong) one more was added later to an updated version of Stokoe's original works by a linguist. Cheremes are basically the manual language equivelents to phonomes. The three Stokoe first mentions are: 1. handshape, 2. palm orientation, and 3. movement (or motion.) The fourth one is location. These cheremes are often termed as "paremeters". This study isn't really a movement, but rather a survey or study from the outside looking in. It is a study of manual languages from the linguistic perspective that gave rise to the use of the term "paremeters" in connection to Sign Languages. It is also interesting to note, that one of the most crucial elements of any sign language was practically not studied or ignored by linguists until relatively recently: i.e. facial expression (aka facial grammar.) That is probably because most linguists are hearing. So depending on how old your ASL textbook is, you may see anywhere from three to six parameters (or parts of the sign.) What's the sixth you ask? Body Language! Such as tilting the head foreward or backward, leaning to one side or the other, etc. However, most books these days point to the original four parameters (or should I say the original three cheremes, plus the additional one.) A few are beginning to place the fifth one. These exist in Sign Languages whether we call them "cheremes", "paremeters" or "flowers", (and I don't recommend calling them the latter), so I would not call this a "movement" at all, just a study of the natural evolution of Sign Languages, by modern linguists, interested in the study of manual languages.

I do not think there is one specific place that has the highest concentration of Deaf in the US. unless NYC wins by virtue of having the highest concentration of people in the US. There are places that have higher than average concentrations, such as around RIT and Galladuet University on the East Coast and CSUN Northridge on the West Coast. Every state tends to have a higher than average concentration of Deaf around their state's School for the Deaf (or more than one if so). People who go there as students tend to stay in the area once they graduate. Also, there may be other reasons, such as in Ohio, there is a high concentration of Deaf in Akron, OH. This is because back in WWII, Deaf people were hired to work in the tank factories, and therefore settled in the city.

In American Sign Language (ASL), the sign for sweet is made by taking your dominant hand, forming it into the letter 'd', and moving it in a small circle near your chin.

just follow a few simple guidelines: if you have a time or location, it goes first in the sentence. after that, you use the "topic-comment" technique (state the subject and then what you have to say about it). all question words go at the end of the sentence. so here is an example. ENGLISH- next summer, how will you eat the green eggs? ASL- next summer, green eggs you eat how?

To sign "salmon" in American Sign Language, you would fingerspell the letters S-A-L-M-O-N.

American Sign Language (ASL) is related to French Sign Language (LSF), as it was heavily influenced by LSF due to the work of Laurent Clerc and Thomas Gallaudet in the early 19th century. The roots of ASL can also be traced back to Martha's Vineyard Sign Language, used on Martha's Vineyard in the 18th and 19th centuries.

The D in Deaf refers to individuals who identify as culturally Deaf and may use American Sign Language (ASL) as their primary mode of communication. The lowercase d in deaf simply refers to individuals who have a hearing loss without necessarily identifying with Deaf culture or using sign language.

You just use fingerspelling and spell out the word sure.

This sign is what's called a fingerspelled sign, there are others as well, such as bus, apartment (which you just fingerspell apt) and more.

Fingerspelling is typically used to spell out words that do not have a sign in Sign Language, such as names of people, places, or specific technical terms. It is also used for emphasis or when there is no widely known sign for a particular word.

Python was created by Guido van Rossum, who is not a one-armed man. Python is a high-level programming language known for its simplicity and readability.

To sign "boy" in American Sign Language (ASL), make a downward motion with your flat hand from your forehead to your chin, keeping your fingers together.

To sign EVERYDAY you make a thumbs up with your dominant hand then brush your fingers/knuckles across your jaw line. It's very similar to the sign GIRL, except GIRL is brushing your thumb across your jaw line.

American Sign Language is said to be a derivative from the combination of local sign languages and French Sign Language (LSF), going back over 200 years. Today however, Modern ASL and LSF or not interchangeable and cannot be understood by the user of the other.

The American pound sign refers to the symbol "#", which is typically used to represent numbers in the United States. It is commonly known as the "number sign" or "hash symbol" in American English.

American Sign Language (ASL) is a visual-gestural language used by Deaf and hard of hearing individuals in the United States. ASL uses handshapes, facial expressions, and body movements to convey meaning. Each sign represents a specific concept or word, and grammar in ASL is conveyed through a combination of handshapes, movements, and non-manual signals.
