A sign name is not only about speed. It can carry recognition, memory, and social context. Before reading this, had you heard of sign names?
How do names work in signed conversations, beyond spelling each letter? Answer: sign names🤟 In many Deaf communities, a name can have its own visual form. #DeafCulture #SignLanguage https://t.co/ojpiLDeNqK
