B is for Barrier. The definition of 'barrier' in different contexts in ASL.

But we should not forget that we need to remove the barriers!

By the way, in the upcoming week, you will learn about German Sign Language. Be excited!

Gendering and interpreting in German Sign Language - does anyone here know how that works?
I'm on my way to the lecture series at the University of Hamburg.
I would be happy to share more about it with you afterward!

Iconicity in DGS 🤟 (German Sign Language) describes the resemblance between a sign and Iconicity in DGS refers to the resemblance between a sign and its referent:

- Pictorial: Direct imitation of an object.

- Schematic: Abstract depiction of actions or features like steering for "car."

🤟 Sign language is not universal - approximately 300 different sign languages worldwide!

🧠 Studies reveal that thinking in sign language activates the brain's left inferior frontal cortex.

🔬 The "inner signing" is mediated by similar brain regions as "inner speech"
