Sign language is not a universal language, but rather a group of visual-gestural languages used by deaf communities around the world. Each sign language, like spoken languages, has its own unique grammar and vocabulary. For instance, British Sign Language (BSL) is distinct from American Sign Language (ASL), and neither is mutually intelligible with Chinese Sign Language (CSL). This means a signer fluent in ASL would not understand a conversation in BSL or CSL.
Sign languages are fully developed languages, utilizing handshapes, facial expressions, body movements, and spatial relationships to convey meaning. They are not simply a signed version of a spoken language. For example, ASL grammar differs significantly from English grammar. While English relies on a subject-verb-object sentence structure, ASL may prioritize topic-comment structure.
The misconception that sign languages are universal often stems from the shared experience of deafness and the use of fingerspelling. Fingerspelling, used to spell out words letter by letter, can bridge communication gaps for specific terms. However, it is not the primary mode of communication in sign language and does not imply understanding of the grammar or broader vocabulary.
Learning sign language provides numerous benefits, including fostering inclusion and understanding between deaf and hearing individuals. It allows for effective communication in diverse settings and can even be a rewarding career path for interpreters and educators.
Question 31
What is the main idea of the reading passage?
- Sign language is universal and understood by all deaf individuals.
