  10. Wh Face: ASL up close…NOTES • Knowing how to ask for help is important in any language. In ASL, two key phrases are MEAN WHAT and EXPLAIN AGAIN. Both phrases use a specific non-manual signal called the WH-Face. You have used the WH-Face to ask What is your name? Use the WH-Face instead of the Question-Maker when you are uncertain, unclear or asking a who, what, when, where, why or how question.

  11. WH-Face • What does it mean? ___whq___ • MEAN WHAT? • Explain it again. __scrunch__ • EXPLAIN AGAIN. • What’s your name? • _____whq____ • YOU NAME WHAT? • I don’t understand. • _scrunch/neg_ • UNDERSTAND.

  13. Saying, “Thank you” and “You’re Welcome” • Deaf Culture Minute • What is the ASL sign for You’re welcome? You can sign thank you back to the person who thanked you or nod you head and smile. Nodding is more casual and should be used with friends and family. Seem strange? It’s different than English, but not so strange. Many languages say you’re welcome this way.

Using some gestures does not make ASL any less of a language than English, which also uses gestures. Can you think of gestures or signs that ASL and English have in common?

  49. ASL up close • All languages have a set of words called WH-Words frequently used in conversation. The WH-Words in ASL serve this same conversational purpose, but also have a unique emphasis in the language that isn’t found in English. Pair the WH-Face with each WH-Sign---Eyebrows DOWN, and put the WH-Sign last in the sentence.

  50. Wh QuestionsNOTES: REVIEW • Eyes on ASL #6—DVD: WH-Signs go at the end of ASL sentences and must include the WH-Face. • Unlike English, WH-Signs don’t occur at the beginning of a sentence. • The WH-Word may occur at the beginning only if it also occurs at the end.
