Event Details
Facial Expressions are an integral part of ASL, mainly functioning in two ways: Affect and Grammar. This is a look at the grammatical function of facial expressions/mouthing morphemes as a key linguistic tool in translating from English to ASL and vice versa, with plenty of examples and facial exercises.
Educational Objectives:
- Attendees will analyze facial markers for grammatical and tone/emphasis value and learn to maximize facial expressions as means of interpreting/communication in ASL/English environments.
- Mouthing morphemes, eyebrow usage, and other NMS will be discussed.
- Idiomatic ASL will also be covered.
