ASL: "Labor Day Weekend"


At the 31 seconds into a video titled "A Welcome Message from Gallaudet University's Sororities" we observe a young Deaf woman spell "labor" then sign WEEKEND SOON NEARer-NEARER-to. (Labor, 2005) This can be interpreted as "Labor Day's going to be here soon!" or "Labor Day is coming up!"

This is an example of a skilled signer choosing to spell "labor," dispense with (not use) the sign DAY and segue (move smoothly into) WEEKEND (using the double flat hands version of WEEKEND) to sign "Labor Day weekend."

"fs-LABOR WEEKEND" + context = A version of "Labor Day Weekend."
