Next up: ASL Semantics—where one word can carry multiple meanings. Take the word “hiss” for example. We always fingerspell #Hiss, then demonstrate what it looks like, how it moves, and how it happens in context. Examples of “hiss” in context: Cat, raccoon, snake, fireworks, swan or goose, kettle, train, spray can, and even a witch—all can produce a distinct “hiss” in sound or expression. This page is dedicated to supporting ASL learners, interpreters, and anyone looking to enhance their skills.
