Farewells in the Deaf Community from Master ASL! (p. 19): “Often, good-byes are never complete until plans are made for the next time friends will see each other again. Shaking hands and hugging is common. It is considered impolite and rude to leave a group of Deaf friends without saying goodbye to each person, which means farewells can take a long time!” YOU ANSWER IN YOUR PACKET: Explain how this is similar or different to how hearing people leave a group of friends at an event or party.

Similar It is rude to sneak away from an intimate gathering without saying goodbye to the group. Different Goodbyes in the Deaf community are longer because you must say goodbye to each person. Goodbyes will involve more conversation instead of a simple “goodbye” and hug. At hearing gatherings, you can address the entire group in one farewell. Deaf gatherings are cherished. Many people don’t want to leave because being around hearing people occurs more often than being around other Deaf.

ASL doesn’t use “to be” verbs (is, are, am). This concept is conveyed in the noun (I “am”, SHE “is”, The book “is”, The students “are”) English uses endings on verbs to show tense. (-ing, -ed). ASL doesn’t use specific signs for past tense. Tense is shown through the body and tense signs (FINISH, WILL, YESTERDAY, TOMORROW, etc. ) Questions, feeling, and mood are conveyed through tone of voice and punctuation. NMS are used to convey questions, feelings, tone, and mood. English requires articles before some nouns. ASL does not use articles. English uses the same word for different concepts and meaning. (ex: get, run, etc. ) ASL is a language based on conveying concepts and meaning. English ASL

English ASL One word in English can have many separate signs in ASL. Communicate the concept! What does it mean? What am I trying to say?
