Register: Formal vs. Casual Signing
Decontextualized signing.

The problem with decontextualizing the instruction of ASL is that you end up having to sign in ways that almost never occur in everyday life.  For example, it is unlikely that a Deaf person would ever sign to another Deaf person, YOU WANT SUGAR IN YOUR COFFEE?

Instead the context of the situation would build up this way:

Signer A:  COFFEE? -(using a yes/no facial expression).

Signer B:  SURE -(nodding and using a facial expression denoting whatever level of enthusiasm he is feeling at the moment).

Signer A: BLACK?

Signer B:  TWO SUGAR.
