I do believe that any Deaf person who does not spend at least as much time in actively and definitely thinking about ASL is simply insulting himself or herself. Those who deny or refrain from using ASL simply need professional help because I am not trained to facilitate them. I often ask what an ASL sentence says, what it means, and whether it is true. As a professor, I am compelled "to uncover the question that the answer hides."

Hi,
Im Deaf since birth and Im eager to learn this. Im creole, why? My education that I was given have many flaws in it. Contextualiztion is where I am now trying to change from ENGASL to full ASL.
Are you an Analytic or Continental? Curious
Thanks!

Those are all very good books. I thoroughly enjoyed the Linguistics of ASL course I took that touched a little bit on syntactical structure. Definitely worth brushing up on again. Thanks for reminding me!
Good luck!
