Watch the Signer’s Face: Non-manual markers (like eye gaze) indicate where a building is located relative to the signer. Unit 9

• Sign: YES, FINE. BRING NOTE TOMORROW.
• Gloss: "Yes, that's fine. Bring a note tomorrow."

1. Living room – TV on wall, sofa in center, rug on floor under coffee table.
2. Bedroom – Bed against back wall, nightstand on left side of bed, lamp on nightstand.
3. Kitchen – Table in center, refrigerator to the right, sink next to refrigerator.

In real life, you will make mistakes giving directions. ASL handles corrections differently than English. In English, you might say, "Actually, it's not right; it's left." In ASL, you use a negative headshake combined with the sign WRONG or MISTAKE, followed by the correct sign. Sign: YES, FINE

• A request made with a flat affect (no facial expression) can look demanding or rude.
• A request made with a "polite pucker" (lips slightly pursed) and a slight head tilt indicates deference and respect.

• Review the ASL grammar features covered in class, especially those related to non-manual markers and role-shifting.
• Practice constructing simple sentences and short narratives incorporating these features.
