Notes:

WAITER: You can add the PERSON-(agent) sign to "SERVICE" to mean "waiter."

EVERY-AFTERNOON: The sign "every-AFTERNOON" is similar to the sign "afternoon" except that the dominant hand makes a horizontal (sideways) sweep."

GO-WITH / accompany: Use the sign WITH, but move it forward at an angle to your right (or left) toward your "destination."

SELF-[think-self, myself, yourself, himself, themselves]. The sign "self" can be modified to indicate various pronouns or to tell someone to "Think for yourself." ("It is up to you.")  See the "ACCOMPANY" entry on the "WITH advanced discussion" page.


CAR: The sign CAR tends to use an "S" handshape.

WHICH: The sign WHICH tends to use an "A" handshape or a modified "A" handshape wherein the thumbs stick out.

EASY:  The sign EASY is generally done with a double movement.

ALMOST: The sign ALMOST is done with a single movement.

THAN:  The sign THAN is done with both hands palm down.

TAKE:  The version of "take" labeled as "TAKE-up" (or "ADOPT") is used for "taking a class, adopt, or evaporate." TAKE-from is used to mean acquire from some other person or source.

NAD:  National Association of the Deaf

TITLES or titles of address:  When signing in the Deaf community we rarely use the "title" "Dr." as in "Dr. Vicars."  We tend to just use the person's name sign and are much less concerned with "titles."  Also, we only use the DOCTOR sign when referring to "medical doctors." On those limited occasions when we do refer to people who hold "doctor of philosophy" or "doctor of education" degrees (such as introducing them at a conference) we fingerspell "D-R."   In college environments, when sending email to instructors who hold doctorate degrees students should indeed type "Dr." But in everyday conversations in the hallway, meetings, or classes it is generally standard to just use the person's name sign (without adding the title "Dr.").  During formal meetings in academic settings involving mixed cultural groups (Deaf and Hearing or instructors and students) you may notice that when professional interpreters see a name sign they tend to voice the title "Dr." along with the last name of the person being referenced. That is because such interpreters are skilled at jockeying between cultures.  It is their job to recognize and bridge the cultural differences.  If the meeting is a small faculty meeting with no students involved then the interpreter is much more likely to voice just the first name of the person being referenced with a name sign. Again, that is because the interpreter is aware of the setting and interprets in a culturally appropriate manner.



Check with your instructor or your syllabus regarding any graded quizzes for this lesson.
