Study Notes
ASL Listing Technique
- Listing in ASL is a method for sequentially referencing multiple items, places, or people.
- It improves clarity and efficiency by preventing repetitive signs.
How Listing Works
- Sign Order: Signs are produced sequentially, typically following the order of introduction.
- Quantity Indicators: Handshapes often indicate the number of items.
- Numbers 1-2: Index finger (1), index and middle fingers (2).
- Numbers 3-5: Specific ASL handshapes are used—thumb, index, and middle fingers (3); index, middle, ring, and pinky fingers (4); all five fingers (5).
- Larger Quantities: Classifiers (handshapes representing categories) are employed for larger numbers.
Examples
- "I have two dogs": "two" handshape, followed by "dog," "me," "have." List is set up with non-dominant hand, referencing each finger for details.
- "Store, bank, gas station, we go, finish": List established with non-dominant hand, touching listed parts with dominant hand
- Setup example: thumb for store, index for bank, middle for gas station
Important Considerations
- Facial expressions and body language support emphasis.
- For vast quantities, descriptions or descriptive signs are used.
