Bell Work #3
Sentence Structures –
Topic Comment
Topic Comment Structure
ASL uses one of two different grammatical structures
depending on what is being signed. The first structure is
called topic-comment and is always followed when signing
with the WH-signs. In topic-comment languages the signer
presents information with raised eyebrows and then makes
the information either a statement or a question by adding a
comment. English does not use topic-comment structure
often so becoming used to ASL grammar can be a
challenge. Keep in mind that while using ASL signs in
English word order may be easy to do, it is no different than
speaking in Spanish but following English word order – you
won’t make complete sense in either language.
Topic Comment Structure
Topic, title
Example: “The Three Little Pigs”
p. 89
to Comment
The comment
portion of an ASL
sentence explains
or clarifies the
topic.
p. 89
Practice Exercise I
Topic-comment. Select vocabulary from Column A and Column B to make a
complete sentence following topic-comment structure.
Column A Column B
learn study school name tomorrow today who where
test busy test from weekend don’t know what why
ski party ASL beach yesterday don’t want when doing what
p. 89
Practice Exercise K What’s missing? Sign each sentence by filling in the blank with a WH-sign. Choose
from who, what, when, where, which, and why.
p. 90
Practice Exercise K Continue….
p. 90
Practice Exercise L
1. The topic is what? Review the previous practice exercise and indicate the
topic and comment of each sentence.
2. Word order translation. Change each of the following sentences into topic-
comment structure and/or use a closing signal. Remember, time or when
something happens comes first, WH-signs last.
1. I’m happy. 7. I’m not confused
2. Please open the door. 8. What are you doing Saturday?
3. Who’s Deaf? 9. Where’s my paper?
4. Where’s the water fountain? 10. I sleep on the weekends.
5. Is the party on Saturday? 11. Is the restaurant over there?
6. Who walks home every day? 12. Do you mind handing out the
papers?
p. 91
Sentence Structures –
The ‘Why’ Bridge or
Rhetorical Question
The ‘Why’ as Bridge (Rhetorical Question)
The second basic structure of ASL is used when WH-
signs are not needed, and follows a subject-verb-object
(SVO) structure. This format is more familiar to English
speakers. However, why often acts as a “bridge” or
“connector” between two separate SVO phrases.
When using why this way, raise your eyebrows. Often this
is called the rhetorical or RH-question.
Subject-Verb-Object
(SVO) structure The second basic structure of ASL is used when WH-Signs are not needed,
and follows a subject-verb-Object (SVO). This format is more familiar to English
speakers. However, why often acts as a “bridge” or “connector” between two
separate SVO phrases. When using why this way, raise your eyebrows.
Practice Exercise I
Bridges or Rhetorical Questions. Use the why sign to connect
each sentence together.
1. She can’t go to the party / She works.
2. He doesn’t want a test / He didn’t study.
3. We are very scared / Signing is not easy.
4. Yesterday I was tired / I studied.
5. They are going to school / They are learning ASL.
6. Today I’m happy / Tomorrow I’m going to the
beach.
p. 89
Practice Exercise
Using “why” as “because”. Based on the group activity
done previously, tell what various classmates like or
dislike or where they live and explain why.
1. _____ likes Tucson because _____.
2. _____ wants to live in _____ because _____.
3. _____ doesn’t want to live in _____ because _____.
4. _____ lives with his/her family because _____.
5. _____ moved to _____ from _____ because _____.
Name signs, Communities,
Other Signed Languages
Deaf Culture – Name Signs Do you have a name sign or know someone who does? A frequent question is
“What’s the sign for my name?” Name signs are highly valued in Deaf culture.
Having one shows you are accepted by the Deaf community because you made
the effort to learn Deaf culture and ASL. You may be given a name sign after
you’ve made Deaf friends. There is no sign-for-name match, so two people with
the same spoken name will often have different name signs. This is because
ASL name signs are a combination of the person’s spoken name (usually the first
initial) and a location on the head, torso, or hands where the sign will be made.
This type of name sign is called arbitrary. Some people with short or easily
fingerspelled names will spell their name signs. Another type is a descriptive
name sign, which shows a physical or behavioral trait the individual is known for.
The sign for Mickey Mouse is seen below and is a descriptive name sign. It is
impolite for a hearing ASL student to create a name sign instead of having one
given by a Deaf person. You’ll need to socialize with Deaf people if you want a
name sign.
Examples of
name signs.
Which are
descriptive and
which are arbitrary? Mickey Mouse “Buck Teeth”
A name that
begins with “S” A name that
begins with “D”
p. 84
Deaf Culture - communities
Most Deaf adults live in larger cities across the United States. Jobs, social
opportunities, Deaf-interest agencies, schools for the Deaf, and interpreters are
more plentiful in metropolitan areas than in isolated areas. The metro region of
Rochester in New York state features the world’s highest per capita population
of Deaf people. There are many Deaf people in Tucson, AZ. Do you know
why?
This is a link to a site that has a great description of the differences between
Deaf people, the Deaf community, Deaf culture and Deaf Ethnicity.

Bell Work Quiz #3 & #4
Possessive Signs
p. 92
•My, mine
•Your, yours
•His, hers, its
•Ours
•Yours (plural)
•Theirs
Use Possessive signs to ask and
answer questions, clarify
statements, and develop
conversations on a variety of
topics. Possessive signs follow
the same rules as deixis to point
towards people and things,
including eye gaze (see page 6)
Example:
Unit 3 Vocab #5
My, mine
Your, yours
His, hers, its
Ours
Yours (plural)
Theirs
Practice Exercise M
Whose is it? Practice the possessive signs by signing each sentence.
Sign the topic first with raised eyebrows.
1. It’s my book.
2. Our teacher is Deaf.
3. Her teacher is hearing.
4. No, it’s not his. It’s hers.
5. Your (plural) homework is due today.
6. My email isn’t working.
7. Is this your DVD?
8. Her friend is named Glen.
9. It’s not mine. It’s yours.
Don’t use possessive
signs with names.
Using them instead of
deixis results in
ungrammatical
sentences like Mine
name Joe, or Their
name Ann and Tomas.
Remember that deixis
conveys the verb to be,
not possessive signs.

Compound Sentences,
Signing “or/either” & “and”
Does he want a blue or black pen?
The word or implies a choice, ASL uses which to show options. There is a slight
shoulder shift, head nod, and change of eye gaze to present each option.
I need this one and that one.
The word “and” is used differently in ASL than English. Generally, ASL does not use a
specific sign because “and” is implied by a slight shoulder shift, head nod, and change of eye
gaze.

Addresses and Telephone
Numbers
• Numbers 1-5 always face you except
when signing addresses and telephone
numbers. For any group of numbers
considered to be part of a unit or
combined entity, all the numbers should
face palm out.
Tip – don’t forget to pause briefly
between the first and last sets of a
telephone number. Pause rather than
making a dash.
Did you know? • While you use a telephone to reach friends and family, a Deaf
person uses a videophone! Videophones allow two Deaf people to
converse in ASL as naturally as having a conversation in person.
Just like there are different types of telephones to choose from, Deaf
people select the videophone that has the same features they want.
In addition to the videophone, users need a monitor and high-speed
internet connection to make calls. Deaf people can call hearing
friends by using the videophone to connect to an interpreter who
voices what the Deaf caller signs, and signing what the hearing
person speaks. Not all Deaf people have videophones. Some
prefer to use a TTY, a device similar to a keyboard. A caller types
messages into the TTY and the person on the other end reads the
message on a built-in screen. Which way of making calls would you
prefer?
Homework (Journal writing): In your journal, write which you would prefer to use to
call? Explain why you preferred that.

ASL Tips
Confused when watching ASL? Non-manual signals like facial
expressions and eye gaze can reveal a lot of information, even if you
don’t understand a sign or two. Best bet when you don’t understand
something: Ask the signer to repeat. Asking a signer to slow down or
repeat information is a wise move.
Rely on context to understand differences between the past and future.
If it’s Monday and someone is signing about weekend plans, it often
refers to the immediate past. Understand the context by looking for
WH-Signs and other details that help you understand the bigger
concept.
Use topic-comment structure to bring up a topic “out of the blue.” When
the topic is clear, you can switch to SVO structure.
