We will be looking at the linguistics of American Sign Language. Students will be free to pick a topic of their choice. Students often select things related to a prominent linguist, linguistic phenomena, or more general topics in Deaf Education and Deaf Studies. Some students in the past have opted to create ASL translations of existing pages.
