Preface

r e

The Gallaudet Children’s Dictionary of American Sign Language is a dictionary for both deaf and hearing children. It serves a two-fold purpose—to expand and improve deaf children’s English vocabulary skills and to teach American Sign Language (ASL) to hearing children. It is designed primarily for children ages 5 and up—those just learning to read and independent readers—the prime age range for learning a second language. This dictionary will help deaf children make the connections between the signs they already know and the written English words that express the same concepts. As a result, their reading vocabulary will grow, and they will gain an understanding of how English words can have different meanings. Hearing children will learn a new language and a new way to communicate. Parents, family members, and education professionals will also be able to improve their ASL vocabulary. The Gallaudet Children’s Dictionary contains more than 1,000 ASL signs arranged in alphabetical order by the English word most commonly associated with each sign. This allows dictionary users to find specific signs more easily. The rest of the English words related to a given sign (synonyms) are listed under the main entry, and all the words appear in the index. In addition to the sign drawing, each entry includes a full-color illustration that is fun, whimsical, and instructive to reinforce the meaning of the sign/word,

as well as a sentence using the word in context. Speakers in different parts of a country use different words for the same concept. In the U.S., for example, people in the East say soda, while people in the Midwest say pop, and they both mean a carbonated beverage. Signers around the country also use different signs for the same concept. For instance, there are at least 17 signs for Halloween and 22 signs for birthday.1 The differences often come from where a signer lives. Most of the signs in this dictionary are commonly used in everyday conversations at Gallaudet University and in the Washington, DC, area, which is a melting pot of ASL users from around the country. The DVD in the back of the dictionary includes live-action video of children signing all of the signs. It also includes adults signing 150 sentences to demonstrate how to form sentences in ASL. The DVD is completely searchable, allowing users to look up signs by scrolling through the vocabulary list. In combination, the dictionary and the DVD provide the most useful ASL resource available for children.

Introduction American Sign Language (ASL) is the language used by members of the American Deaf community. It is a visual/ gestural language that developed from the interaction of signing deaf families, teachers, and students at the first schools for the deaf in the mid-18th to mid-19th centuries. 2

We don’t know exactly how many people in the United States use ASL, but estimates range from 500,000 to 2 million.3 This includes deaf children raised in deaf families; deaf children who learned to sign from hearing signing parents, teachers, and deaf classmates; hearing children born to deaf parents; and adults who learned ASL as a second language. ASL also is used widely in Canada, along with Quebec Sign Language. Every country in the world has its own sign language, and some countries (like Canada) have more than one sign language. Some signs look like the object or idea they represent. For example, the sign for tree looks a lot like a tree, and the sign for baby looks like rocking a baby. These types of signs are called iconic signs. Other signs bear no resemblance to their meaning. The sign for computer does not look like a computer, and the sign for store does not look like a place to buy things. The fact that many signs are iconic does not mean that ASL is basically mime or a collection of “pictures in the air.” It has its own vocabulary and grammar rules, just like other languages. Most signers do not speak English while they sign, and the order of signs in an ASL sentence is often very different from

tree

baby

computer

store


M A N U A L

the order of English words in a sentence. Signers also can convey grammatical information with their faces, bodies, and the surrounding space.

Fingerspelling

When signers want to emphasize the exact English word for a concept, they may spell the individual letters of the word. This is called fingerspelling. ASL has a specific handshape for each English letter, and all the handshapes are made on one hand. Every country has its own manual alphabet, and some countries, like England, form the letters with two hands. Signers also fingerspell when particular concepts, like personal names, geographical locations, and newly created words, do not have a sign. The easiest place to see fingerspelling is at mid-chest level. Signers hold their hand steady, and sometimes they mouth the word, but they don’t say the individual letters. ASL also has manual numbers, and almost all them can be made on one hand. There are separate handshapes for numbers 1 to 15, 20, 21, 25, and 75. All other numbers are a combination of number handshapes. For example, 16 is a combination of 10 and 6; 38 is 3 and 8; 44 is 4 and 4; 50 is 5 and 0; and 1,256 is 1 + the sign for thousand + 2 + the sign for hundred + 5 + 6.

Introduction

a

Signs

Signs are the vocabulary of ASL. Each sign represents a specific concept, and a sign cannot be used for an English word without considering its meaning. In English, the word present can mean “here” or “gift.” ASL has a different sign for each meaning. Similarly, in English you can run a race, run for president, or run a company, and a signer will use a different sign in each case. here present

b c

“run a race”

j k l m

gift present

n

“run a company”

o p q r

Each sign in ASL has five basic parts or parameters: handshape, location, movement, palm orientation, and nonmanual signals. Every sign includes all these parameters, so changing even one parameter creates a new sign. The signs mother and father share the same handshape, palm orientation, and movement, but they differ in location and, therefore, in meaning.

ďťż Introduction

a b c d e f g h i j

Handshape Most of the handshapes used in ASL signs come from the American manual alphabet, from the manual numbers, and from modifications of those handshapes. Most of the time, the handshape is arbitrary or not important, but sometimes it carries a specific meaning. For example, the handshape for the sign see is a 2, but this handshape does not provide any additional meaning to the sign. However, when the 2 handshape is used with the signs for hour, week, month, and other time designations, it creates the meaning of 2 hours, 2 weeks, 2 months, and so forth.

k

Location

l

Location refers to the place where the hands start a sign. Almost all signs are made in the area between the forehead and the waist. The most comfortable position for signing, and the easiest place to see, is in front of the chest. At this level, people can see the hands and the face at the same time. This is important because signers use facial expressions to add information to their communication. A sign can begin on the body, on the head, or in the space in front of the body.

m n o p q r s t u v w x y z

A sign can move up, down, away from the signer, toward the signer, or side-to-side. There can be one single movement or multiple movements. Repeating the movement of a noun shows that the noun is plural rather than singular. For example, the sign book is made with one movement that resembles opening a book, while books repeats the movement. In child, the hand moves down slightly, but the hand bounces to the right a few times

past

present

Movement The way the hands move also is important to the meaning of signs. ASL does not add tense markers to signs to show future, present, and past. Instead, a signer will move the hand forward from the head to show that something will happen in the future, sign close to the body to show that something is happening now, or move the hand back over the shoulder to indicate that something has already happened.

for “you-look-at-me” and “I-look-at-you” is in the orientation—facing in toward the signer and then out for “I-look-at-you” and facing out and then in toward the signer for “you-look-at-me.”

Nonmanual Signals and Facial Expression for children, depending on the number of children. With some verbs, the direction of the movement shows who is doing something, as in “I give it to you” (from the signer out to the other person) and “You give it to me” (from another person in to the signer). The size of the movement also contains meaning about volume or size. For example, it gets progressively larger to show the concepts big, huge, and enormous.

Orientation The direction the palms face is called orientation. The palms can be up or down, toward the signer, or away from the signer. The difference between the signs

Facial expression is important in all forms of communication, but it is especially important in ASL. Deaf people focus on a signer’s face as much as the hands. A signer can change the meaning of a word or phrase just by changing her expression. Most signs in everyday conversation are made with a neutral facial expression. However, there are signs that require a particular expression or nonmanual signal, like shrugging the shoulders or tilting the head forward, to make the meaning clear. The signs who, what, and where are good examples of how facial expressions and nonmanual signals are incorporated into a sign. The illustrations in this dictionary include appropriate facial expressions, but to see the full effect of the nonmanual

NOTES 1. Edgar H. Shroyer and Susan P. Shroyer collected regional signs for their book Signs Across America (Washington, DC: Gallaudet University Press, 1984). 2. In this dictionary, an uppercase D means the community of language users who are culturally Deaf. The members of the Deaf community share a language, values, and beliefs about deafness. A lowercase d refers to the deaf population in general and audiological deafness (the physiological condition of not being able to hear) in particular. Individuals who are deaf may not necessarily be Deaf. 3. Ross E. Mitchell, Travas A.Young, Bellamie Bachleda, Michael A. Karchmer, “How Many People Use ASL in the United States?

How to Read This Dictionary Some signs are made with one hand and others are made with two hands. Signers use their dominant hand to make one-hand signs. All of the models in this dictionary are right-handed, and the signs are drawn from the reader’s perspective. Before copying a sign, right-handed signers should imagine themselves in the same position as

the sign model. Left-handed signers should reverse the positions of the hands and the arrows and then mirror the signs on the page. The beginning position of each sign is drawn with a thin line and the final position is drawn with a heavy line. Arrows indicate the direction of the sign movements.

j

Repeat the sign with a back-and-forth movement.

Now, You Know Certain English words have a similar meaning, and the ASL signs for these words also are very similar. The only difference is the handshape. One example is the group of signs that mean association, class, family, group, organization, and team (see pages 69, 124, 153, and 314). The handshape for each sign is the first letter of the English word. Another group is the signs that mean law, principle, and rule (see pages 193 and 272).

That was the year when three deaf men invented a way for deaf people to type to each other over the phone lines. They created a TDD (telecommunications device for the deaf ). Technology has changed a lot since the mid-1960s, and today new equipment like the webcam lets deaf people see and sign to each other. Many people, both deaf and hearing, use Skype and videophones to communicate with each other. Deaf people can even call hearing people by using a video relay service.
