American Sign Language (ASL) is a visual-spatial language that uses hand gestures and shapes to communicate within the deaf community. There are five key parameters in ASL: hand shape, palm orientation, location, movement, and non-manual signals/facial expressions. The document provides examples of common greetings and sentences in ASL, demonstrating hand shapes for letters and signs for concepts like "name", as well as how to sign phrases like "I love you" and "goodbye".

What Is Sign Language
What Is Sign LanguageArun Rao Sign language is a visual method of communication that uses manual gestures and body language to convey meaning. It naturally develops in deaf communities as their primary means of communicating with each other when oral communication is ineffective. While sign languages share common properties, there is no single universal sign language and different communities develop their own, with regional variations. Sign languages have their own grammar and syntax distinct from spoken languages.
Explicit versus implicit meaning
Explicit versus implicit meaningPriyaTeemal Explicit meaning comes from information that is directly stated in a text, while implicit meaning comes from information that is suggested or implied. Both types of meaning are valuable - explicit meaning is important for clarity while implicit meaning adds depth and encourages critical thinking. In texts, explicit and implicit meaning are often connected, as explicit details provide context for readers to derive implicit meanings.

Interpreting models 2
Interpreting models 2Cynthia Dodzik There are three main types of interpreting models: socio-cultural models, cognitive processing models, and task models. Socio-cultural models reflect the historical evolution of interpreting and include models like the helper, machine, and bicultural models. Cognitive processing models describe what happens in interpreters' brains during work, such as the Colonomos, Cokely, Gile Effort, and Russell Meaning-Based models. Task models are prescriptive and show how interpreters should approach work, including the Gish, Demand-Control-Schema, and Weisman P's models.
Sign language ppt
Sign language pptAmina Magaji This document covers an introduction to sign language including the types of sign language, who uses sign language, why sign language is important, and provides a reference. It discusses that sign language involves hand shapes, movements, and facial expressions to communicate instead of speaking. There are two main types - alternate sign language used in limited contexts and primary sign language which is the first language of deaf communities. Sign language is important for deaf people to exercise their rights and access information as it allows communication without spoken language.

TOPIC 1: HISTORY OF RADIATION
TOPIC 1: HISTORY OF RADIATIONNik Noor Ashikin Nik Ab Razak Wilhelm Röntgen discovered X-rays in 1895 while experimenting with cathode ray tubes. He found that X-rays could pass through human tissue but not bones, allowing him to see inside the body. Henri Becquerel discovered radioactivity in uranium in 1896 by accident. The Curies isolated radioactive elements radium and polonium between 1898-1902 through long purification processes which unfortunately led to their early deaths from radiation exposure. Rutherford discovered three types of radiation emitted from atoms - alpha, beta, and gamma rays - in the late 1890s. These early pioneers in the late 19th century laid the foundations for understanding radiation and nuclear physics.

Introduction to sign language
Introduction to sign languagedrgurudutta Sign language uses hands, face and eyes rather than vocal cords or ears to communicate. It is not derived from spoken language. Sign languages like American Sign Language (ASL) have their own distinct grammars and are not universal across countries. ASL has its own phonology, morphology, syntax and other linguistic properties similar to spoken languages. It can convey the same complex meanings as spoken languages. The study of sign language provides insights into the nature of all human language.

ENGLISH AS A GLOBAL LANGUAGE BY IRFAN
ENGLISH AS A GLOBAL LANGUAGE BY IRFANmohammed irfanulla khan As global communication expands throughout the world, so does the need for a global language. A language that is recognized and understood by people everywhere. In many parts of the world that language has been established, English. In most countries around the globe the English language can be found in some form or another, whether it be an international news broadcast, such as CNN, or a Chicago Bulls tee-shirt. "What centuries of British colonialism and decades of Esperanto couldn’t do, a few years of free trade, MTV, and the Internet has. English dominates international business, politics, and culture more than any other language in human history." (Rohde) For this world to be truly global, there must be some commonality or ease of communication. "If trade and tourism around the world are going to operate and a global economy function and a global culture flourish, a widely shared, reasonably accessible language is requisite."
Language, dialect, and varieties
Language, dialect, and varietiesSari Kusumaningrum This document discusses language variation and the different varieties of language. It defines key terms like dialect, idiolect, and varieties. A dialect is a language variety spoken by a speech community that is distinguished by systematic features. An idiolect refers to the speech variety of an individual speaker. Varieties refer to forms of language associated with social factors like region, social class, situation, and individual. Dialects and varieties differ based on factors like geography, occupation, age, education, gender, and ethnicity. While some dialects have more prestige than others due to historical and social factors, all languages consist of dialects and everyone speaks at least one dialect.

Sign language copy (2)
Sign language copy (2)mahmud maha Sign language is a visual language that uses hand gestures, facial expressions, and body movements rather than sounds to communicate. It is a fully developed language that deaf communities use, as deaf children cannot acquire spoken language without hearing it. While some credit early humans as developing the first rudimentary sign languages, the early modern sign language is traced to Juan Pablo de Bonet's 1620 book documenting a manual system using hand shapes to represent speech sounds.
Language development in children
Language development in childrenAnam_ Khan Language development begins early in life through acquiring language from those speaking around infants. Children's language moves from simple to complex, starting without words but developing the ability to discriminate speech sounds by age 4 months. By their second birthday, toddlers use structures like action+agent and action+object, and they begin to interpret the subject+verb+object structure of English. Preschoolers actively analyze language, formulating rules and hypotheses to continue learning more complex structures and vocabulary.

It then examines physical adaptation theories which argue that the evolution of certain human physical traits, like bipedalism and advanced vocal tracts, enabled the development of speech. The document also explores natural sound theories, which propose that early words imitated environmental sounds or emotional cries. It questions whether these could have generated full languages.
English as a global language grace
English as a global language gracePao Plastina English has become the dominant global language due to British colonial expansion and American economic power in the 20th century. It fulfills the role of a global language by being widely used for international communication in domains like business, academia, politics and pop culture. While a global language has benefits like being a lingua franca, it also threatens linguistic diversity and minority languages.

It discusses analyzing ASL grammatical features like nominal structures, verbs, and complex sentences. Small groups will practice incorporating grammatical features into discourse maps - visual representations of how ideas chunk and link together. The mapping process involves watching a text multiple times to observe linguistic features and spatial relationships, then representing and discussing these to confirm comprehension before retelling the text. Discourse mapping aims to replicate logical ASL organization to improve interpretation and language ability.

Parameter ppt
Parameter pptreena582 American Sign Language uses specific parameters to convey meaning and grammar. The five parameters that make up each sign are: handshape, location, movement, palm orientation, and non-manual signals like facial expressions. Even slight changes to just one parameter can create a new and different sign. For example, changing just the location parameter transforms the sign for "mother" at the chin to "father" at the forehead. Similarly, changing only the movement parameter distinguishes the sign for "church" with an up-down bounce from "chocolate" with a circular motion. Mastering the parameters is essential for new signers to accurately produce and understand signs in ASL.

2. In the 18th century, key figures helped establish education for Deaf people. Laurent Clerc, a Deaf man from France, introduced American Sign Language and teaching methods when he helped open America's first school for the Deaf in 1817 with Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet. However, Alexander Graham Bell later convinced international leaders to ban sign language in schools in 1880.

Deaf Culture and Sign Language Writing System – a Database for a New Approac...Jeferson Fernando Guardezi This document discusses the development of a database for handwritten SignWriting characters to support the creation of sign language writing recognition technology. It begins with an overview of issues faced by the deaf community due to a lack of access to sign language and writing systems. It then discusses the importance of SignWriting as a writing system adapted to the visual-spatial nature of sign languages. Currently, computer tools for writing in SignWriting have usability issues or rely too heavily on translation from spoken languages. The proposed database of handwritten SignWriting characters could be used by computer vision researchers to develop more natural and effective sign language writing recognition tools.

I am sharing 'Document from Vasudev R' with you.pdf
I am sharing 'Document from Vasudev R' with you.pdfVasudevR3 Nonverbal communication conveys over half of the message in communication through appearance, body language, tone of voice, and other nonverbal elements. Before processing verbal messages, people take in nonverbal cues like appearance, enthusiasm, sincerity, and tone of voice to form a nonverbal message. If the verbal and nonverbal messages match, a powerful message is sent, but if they conflict the messages may cancel each other out. Nonverbal communication includes gestures, postures, facial expressions, eye contact, personal appearance, and other wordless ways of sending and receiving messages. Interpreting nonverbal communication requires looking at gesture clusters and considering multiple cues together rather than in isolation. Common nonverbal messages relate to openness, defensiveness
Verbal & non verbal communication
Verbal & non verbal communicationAhmad Musani This document discusses verbal and non-verbal communication. It explains that verbal communication involves speaking, writing, listening and reading. Non-verbal communication conveys 55% of messages through body language like facial expressions, gestures, eye contact, and posture. Specific non-verbal cues are examined, such as direct eye contact showing interest while shifty eyes suggest dishonesty. Certain gestures and postures that should be avoided are identified, like crossed arms appearing defensive or pointing at others seen as accusatory.
Asli bellringers
Asli bellringersKris Camille American Sign Language (ASL) is used primarily in the U.S. and Canada and incorporates physical gestures and facial expressions to convey meaning. ASL uses space and movement rather than sound to communicate abstract ideas. Fingerspelling is mainly used for names, places, and brands, while sign language or an interpreter are the most effective ways to communicate with a deaf person. Spatial organization and grammar follow a time-topic-comment structure in ASL.

Detecting local attraction
For detecting local attraction it is necessary to take both fore bearing and back bearing for each line.
If the difference is exactly 180°, the two stations may be considered as not affected by local
attraction.
If difference is not 180°, better to go back to the previous station and check the fore bearing. If that
reading is same as earlier, it may be concluded that there is local attraction at one or both stations.

Joukowski's airfoils, introduction to conformal mappingRAHUL SINHA This document discusses conformal mapping and provides examples of how it can transform complex functions and geometries while preserving angles. Specifically:
- A conformal map transforms one complex coordinate system to another using a transformation function, preserving angles between curves.
- Joukowski's transformation maps a circle in one plane to an airfoil-shaped curve in another plane, and can be used to analyze fluid flow around an airfoil by mapping it to simplified flow around a circle.
- Examples show circles and lines transforming to hyperbolas and parabolas under different functions, and circles transforming to circles or lines, depending on conditions. This demonstrates the angle-preserving nature of conformal mapping.

ASL basics
- 1. BY RAHUL SINHA American sign Language(ASL) BASICS
- 2. What is ASL ? American sign language is a visual spatial language that uses hand gestures and hand shapes to communicate in the deaf community Today we are here to show some techniques used in ASL.
- 3. Greetings Hello or Hi What’s up? How are you?
- 4. Sign space An important concept to understand is the ASL sign space. This refers to the area in which most signs are made in normal conversation. Signing outside the sign space is uncomfortable on your hands, wrists, and shoulders. Generally, most signs are centered to the right or left of your middle torso.
- 5. Five parameters in ASL
- 6. 1. Hand shape The hand shape difference between me and mine is simple to identify, yet ASL students often confuse the two. Notice the hand shape difference for ‘I AM’ and ‘MY’ . Sample sentence: I am Rita/ My Rita.
- 7. 2. Palm Orientation Palm orientation errors are easy to make if we are unsure whether a sign faces up, down, left, or right. Signing while nervous or without practice causes many palm orientation errors. Often, these mistakes are "big" and obvious. Notice palm orientation for ”TABLE” . Sample sentence: The table is over there.
- 8. 3. Location We should avoid making location errors by remembering most signs are made in front of your body in a comfortable location. Sample sentence: I’ll see you tomorrow.
- 9. 4. Movement Practicing and paying attention to ASL vocabulary is key to knowing the movement needs of particular signs. If your hands and arms feel awkward or constricted, check the sign’s movement parameter for a possible error. Check movements for “HAPPY” and “ENJOY”. Sample sentence: I’m happy/I’m enjoy.
- 10. 5. Non-manual signals / facial expressions Specific non-manual signals (NMS) alter the meaning of a sign. Facial expressions, head nods / shakes, Eyebrows, nose, eyes, and lips each carry meaning that can be attached to a sign.
- 11. Vocabulary
- 12. ‘I am fine’ Fine
- 13. More greetings
- 14. Some simple sentences and uses of alphabets Notice hand shapes for L ,I ,S & A
- 15. Notice how “name” is represented in ASL My name is Lisa.
- 16. Signing Good-bye I Happy Meet You Yes Tomorrow Me too See you Tomorrow
- 17. Thanks and love you all The "I love you" hand shape in American Sign language (ASL)
