5 THE URBAN DICTIONARY ON SLANG the only reason Urbandictionary.com exists The ever-evolving bastardization of the written and spoken language as a result of social and cultural idolization of uneducated, unintelligible [sic] celebrities. slang is the continual and ever-changing use and definition of words in informal conversation, often using references as a means of comparison or showing likeness. the use of and constant flux in slang is the only exciting thing happening in language, making present day especially interesting with the wealth of new words and definitions appearing seemingly everywhere.

6 COMMON TYPES OF SLANG IN ASL Signs created by Deaf/deaf students separate from English slang Signs used/modified to match English slang Initialized signs used to match English slang

7 MAINSTREAM INTERPRETING Advantages Can become very familiar with student discourse and word choice Can be very familiar with student background knowledge & experiences Responsibilities Language model English & ASL Reinforce educational goals and objectives

8 THE IMPORTANCE OF FINGERSPELLING FOR READING FROM VL2 Key Findings on the Importance of Fingerspelling for Reading: Deaf families fingerspell to their deaf children when they are very young. Early exposure to fingerspelling helps these children become better readers Fingerspelling, reading, and writing are interrelated. Fingerspelling facilitates English vocabulary growth, and larger the lexicon, the faster new vocabulary is learned. Fingerspelling positively correlates with stronger reading skills. Deaf and hard of hearing children who are good fingerspellers are good readers, and vice versa. Link to Original Article

9 THE IMPORTANCE OF FINGERSPELLING FOR READING FROM VL2 Fingerspelling and Classroom Instruction: Native ASL signers use fingerspelling for 10-15% of their signed discourse, depending on the topic.8 In addition, deaf teachers use over 50% more fingerspelled words than hearing teachers during classroom instruction.9 Padden found that hearing L2 learners of ASL, including classroom teachers, tended to use neutral fingerspelling almost exclusively; as a result, children in these settings often miss the advantages of more advanced forms of fingerspelling.4 Link to Original Article

10 TYPES OF FINGERSPELLING VL2 Neutral fingerspelling proper nouns Lexicalized Fingerspelling - #JOB, #BUS Initialized Signs University, Group, etc Signed-fingerspelled Compounds BLACK M-A-I-L, TALK B-A-C-K, HANG O-U-T Abbreviations REF, APT, OMG, LOL Link to Original Article

11 ASL ENGLISH SIGNS USED IN THE FREDERICK COMMUNITY CHILL BAD COOL VEE VERY INTERESTING OOPS/EMBARRASSED ANNOYED SPEECHLESS SCREWED PAY THE BILLS I GOT YOU NOT ME I DIDN T SAY ANYTHING CRUSHED EXPERT/AMAZING AT CRAZY ABOUT FOND OF BEAT CUT IT OUT

13 WORD OF CAUTION Internet slang meets American Sign Language AFTER THE SHOOT, we realized that the conversation was only beginning. When Douglas showed his sign for photobomb to his peers in the Deaf community, a discussion ensued and his sign was not accepted. He wrote me the following week to explain. Link to Original Text

14 TIPS Listen to students & mimic their word choice Make it sound/look natural, don t follow sign by sign or word by word (finish, get out of here) Get the whole message first, then voice/sign Use context clues Watch body language & facial expressions

15 REGISTER Level of formality used in discourse Talking to a teacher Talking to a parent Talking to a friend More formal Less formal
