a form of communication employing the signs of
American Sign Language but using English
grammar in place of ASL syntax and using
invented forms for English grammatical elements
such as of, to, the, and ing, where no ASL sign exists.

Quick Review
Pidgin Signed English (PSE)
• Pidgin Signed English (PSE) is a combination of American Sign
Language (ASL) and English.
• ASL is a distinct language, and (like most other languages) it does
not map perfectly to English. There is no equivalent for many
specific words and the syntax is completely different. Culturally
Deaf people, signing with each other, usually use ASL, but many
people, (frequently deaf or hard of hearing) who learn to sign later in
life, after hearing and using spoken English, do not sign strictly in
ASL. Instead, they use a mixture of ASL and English that is known
as PSE.
• With PSE, someone might sign most of the English words of a
sentence and use approximately the English syntax.
• PSE is not Signed Exact English (SEE), which uses signs for exact
English words (even signs that don't exist in ASL) and exact English
word order. SEE is most frequently used in educational settings,
where the theory is it will help the children learn English. PSE is
most frequently used by people whose primary language is spoken
English.
• Culturally Deaf people are usually very adept at understanding and
using this blend of English and ASL when they sign with someone
who doesn't strictly use ASL.
Quick Review
What is Contact Variety Sign?
• ASL signs in English word order.
• English signs in ASL word order.
• English signs in English word order but in ASL
thought order.
• Conceptual correct signs in English order.
• Literal signs but in ASL order.
• Initialized signs in ASL order.
• Half English and half ASL signs.
Translating the
Pledge of Allegiance
Into ASL
What is the purpose?
• Is it for a student in class and they are
signing along at the same speed everyone
is saying it?
• Is it to dissect the meaning (during Deaf
Ed class) to help student understand what
and why he is saying it?
We are going to learn
• ASL conceptually accurate signs,
• with ASL use of space
• but we will keep the Pledge in English
thought order.
• This will allow a Deaf student to sign along
with the morning Pledge and keep up with
his hearing classmates.

Cued Speech
A Brief Overview
What is Cued Speech
• Cued Speech is a mode of communication
based on the phonemes and properties of
traditionally spoken languages.
• Cueing allows users who are deaf or hard
of hearing or who have language /
communication disorders to access the
basic, fundamental properties of spoken
languages through the use of vision.
http://www.cuedspeech.org/
History
• Cued Speech was invented in 1966 by Dr. R. Orin
Cornett at Gallaudet College, Washington D.C.
• After discovering that children with prelingual and
profound hearing impairments typically have
poor reading comprehension, he developed the system
with the aim of improving the reading abilities of such
children through better comprehension of
the phonemes of English.
• As many sounds look identical on the lips (such
as /p/ and /b/), the hand signals introduce a visual
contrast in place of the formerly acoustic contrast.
• Cued Speech may also help people hearing incomplete
or distorted sound — according to the National Cued
Speech Association at cuedspeech.org, "cochlear
implants and Cued Speech are powerful partners".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cued_speech
History
• Since Cued Speech is based on making sounds visible
to the hearing impaired, Cued Speech is not limited to
use in English speaking nations.
• Because of the demand for use in other
languages/countries, by 1994 Dr. Cornett had adapted
cueing to 25 other languages and dialects.
• Originally designed to represent American English, the
system was adapted to French in 1977.
• As of 2005, Cued Speech has been adapted to
approximately 60 languages and dialects, including
six dialects of English.
• For tonal languages such as Thai, the tone is indicated
by inclination and movement of the hand.
• For English, Cued speech uses eight different hand
shapes and four different positions around the mouth.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cued_speech
Cued Speech and Literacy
• Cued Speech is based on the hypothesis that if all the
sounds in the spoken language looked clearly different
from each other on the lips of the speaker, those hearing
impaired would learn a language in much the same way
as a hearing person, but through vision rather than
audition.
• Cued Speech was developed with the intent of improving
literacy rates among children.
• Even today, one argument made by advocates of Cued
Speech for English users is that literacy rates for reading
English are significantly lower in those who learn
American Sign Language than those who learn Cued
Speech.
• This difference typically is attributed to ASL being a
distinct language from English, with its
own syntax and lexical patterns, whereas Cued Speech
is not a language but simply a method of making spoken
sounds visible.
