[quote=Anonymous]ASL is a real language, so it has grammar rules just like spoken languages but they are designed for a visual language. They SHOW through placement, movement, and other subtle (to us) systems in front of the signer's body. Hard to visualize, but it's really different than a spoken language. Maybe because it's physical/movement it makes more sense to (some) dyslexics' brains? There is a way to indicate past tense, future tense, movement (car vs. driving the car), ownership (Larla's car). And many words change from a nown (store) to a title (storekeeper) with an additional movement. Teach/teacher - store/storekeeper, etc. And then you can take a noun and make it a verb by putting movement in.... so chair becomes sit when you add movement. car becomes drive when you add movement. There is also a way to show a story through placement in space around the signer - it's a beautiful language! There is so much to learn! [/quote]
