Understanding this sign can enhance conversations about accessibility and inclusivity.

How to Sign “La Communication Et La Langue Des Signes“

1. Start with your dominant hand in a “C” shape, held near your mouth. This represents “communication.”
2. Move your hand away from your mouth while keeping the “C” shape, indicating the act of communicating.
3. Next, transition to the sign for “language.” Use both hands in a flat “B” shape, palms facing each other, and move them apart slightly as you say the word “language.” This emphasizes the concept of language.
4. For “signs,” change your hand shape to a “5” handshape (fingers extended and apart) and wiggle your fingers slightly while moving your hands in front of your body to show various signs being made.
5. Throughout the sign, maintain an expressive facial expression that conveys engagement and understanding, as facial expressions are crucial in ASL.

Common Mistakes

• Using a flat handshape instead of the correct “C” shape for “communication.”
• Failing to include facial expressions, which are essential for conveying meaning and emotion in ASL.
