An overview of American Sign Language (ASL).
American Sign Language (ASL), is a natural language
that serves as the dominant language sign of Deaf communities in the United States of America and most of Anglophone Canada. ASL is a complete and organized visual language that is expressed by employing both manual and nonmanual features.
Besides North America, dialects of ASL and ASL-based creoles are used in many countries around the world, including much of West Africa and parts of Southeast Asia. ASL is also widely learned as a second language, serving as a lingua franca. ASL is most closely related to French Sign Language (LSF). It has been proposed that ASL is a creole language of LSF, although ASL shows atypical features of creole languages, such as agglutinative morphology.
ASL signs have a number of phonemic components, such as movement of the face, the torso, and the hands. ASL is not a form of pantomime although iconicity plays a larger role in ASL than in spoken languages. English loan words are often borrowed through fingerspelling, although ASL grammar is unrelated to that of English. ASL has verbal agreement and aspectual marking and has a productive system of forming agglutinative classifiers. Many linguists believe ASL to be a subject-verb-object language. However, there are several alternative proposals to account for ASL word order.
Classification ASL
ASL emerged as a language in the American School for the Deaf (ASD), founded by Thomas Gallaudet in 1817,
HistoryASL
Prior to the birth of ASL, sign language had been used by various communities in the United States.
In the United States, as elsewhere in the world, hearing families with deaf children have historically employed ad hoc home sign, which often reaches much higher levels of sophistication than gestures used by hearing people in spoken conversation.
