Spotlighting Non-Manual Signals

This interactive workshop delves into the linguistic functions of American Sign Language’s Non-Manual Signals (NMS), including their lexical and morphological roles. Participants will deepen their understanding of how facial expressions, head movements, and other non-manual elements shape meaning and clarity in ASL. Through guided analysis and hands-on activities, attendees will enhance both recognition and application of NMS in expressive contexts.

Educational Objectives:
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
• Identify key lexical Non-Manual Signals in ASL
• Discuss the morphological functions and grammatical roles of NMS
• Apply newly acquired knowledge in structured webinar-based practice activities
