Chapter 7
I was really surprised to find that ASL has no written form. It makes sense that it wouldn't but it was still surprising. I have looked through a book that shows signs and it was really difficult to understand. I had a hard time figuring out which direction my hand was supposed to be going. I know that glossing is one way to write in ASL. The book talks about this woman named, Valerie Sutton, and her bilingual newspaper that uses ASL-based pictographic code. This would be really fun to take a look at and see if I could read it!
