Sometimes there is a phonological variation (e.g. Select '3-close' for handshape, 'repeat' for movement, 'hand' for location, and 'mirror' or two-handed symmetry. If the ASL sign you saw, here is how you would select the parameters and its handed type. Select '2' handshape, 'unidirectional' movement, '1' handshape (location), and one-handed. This sign 'DO-IT-YOURSELF' uses neutral space (location) and '10' handshape. If the dominant hand is in contact (or close contact) with the base hand other than a specific listed handshape or palm, use 'hand' (any handshape). If one or two hands are not in contact or near contact, use ' neutral space'. If an ASL word has its multiple locations in one production, try (not always) the initial location of the production and then the destination of the location. Pick a location of the base part of body, including the non-dominant hand, where the dominant hand makes either contact with or close contact with. To find out what this means, select '10-s' (handshape), unidirectional (movement), '10-s' (location), and two-handed mirror. To identify what this ASL sign is, select '1-num' (handshape), repeated (movement), palm (location), and two-handed alternating. Handspeak uses two more generic movement primes: reduplicated (repeated) and unidirectional (non-repeated) for now. Pick a movement of the dominant hand regardless of one-handed or two-handed. The result will show you a few possible signs close to EVERYDAY. Pick a handshape of the ASL word based on the dominant hand, regardless of the one-handed or two-handed production.Įxample: pick '10-num' (handshape), repeated (movement), head-side or face (location). Tip 2: If a dominant handshape has a phonological variation, try either handshapes in your search. If a handshape has a gradient in movement between handshapes 0 and 5, try 5-half as in LEARN, EXPERIENCE, SLEEP, STORY. Tip 1: If a sign has more than two handshapes, locations, or sometimes handed types, try one of the two and then then the other.
