Welcome to Celebrate Creativity - Episode 427 - Hear the Hungry Lion
When we left the previous episode I was working with Gemini to make my Master thesis about interpreting Shakespeare's place for the deaf more understandable. And Gemini said -
Okay, here's the next section, revised for a seventh-grade reading level. I've broken down the longer paragraphs and used simpler language to explain the concepts of ASL grammar and the different styles of interpreting. And then Gemini continued with
ASL Grammar: A Different Way to Talk
ASL has a unique sentence structure that is sometimes called "topic/comment." This means you often say the main idea first, then add more details. By the way that is a very good way, of stating a rather complicated concept. For example, instead of "Is this a dagger I see before me?" from Shakespeare's Macbeth, a translation in ASL might be "dagger, do I see?"
Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.
