Mini-Module 3: Putting On a Good Face: Use of Mouthing for Adverbs/Adjectives and English

This module is one of a ten part series by Kevin Williams, produced by PaTTAN. During sign language learning, a great deal of focus is errantly directed towards the hands only, viewing other parts of the body as ‘extras’ or unnecessary embellishments. The fact of the matter is, that for signing to be grammatical, it is not an either/or situation (meaning face or hands), but it is both! This training will focus on the use of, primarily, the lower portion of the face, the portion used for lexical purposes.
