    Lengua de Señas Mexicana (LSM)

    Sign Language Syntax

    • LSM has a subject-verb-object (SVO) word order.
    • Sentences often begin with a topic, followed by a comment.
    • Non-manual markers (facial expressions, head movements, and body language) are essential for conveying grammatical information.
    • LSM uses a system of spatial referencing, where signs are directed towards specific locations in space to indicate who is performing an action.

    Mexican Sign Language History

    • LSM originated in the 19th century, influenced by French Sign Language (LSF) and American Sign Language (ASL).
    • In 1866, the first school for the deaf was established in Mexico City, introducing LSF to the country.
    • ASL was introduced in the 1960s, influencing the development of LSM.
    • LSM gained recognition as a legitimate language in 2003, with the establishment of the Mexican Federation of Deaf People (Federación Mexicana de Sordos).
    • Efforts to standardize LSM are ongoing, with the creation of a standardized dictionary and language certification programs.
