🧐 I don't know South African Sign Language, but I do notice a few similarities b/w it + ASL (ie signs like "to-look-forward [into the future]), as well as some ASL letters.

W/o being fluent in S.African Sign, I can only say the interpreter *looks* like she's keeping up w/ the source mssg (👍), and displays appropriate non-manual markers (facial expressions/shoulder shift/body mvmnts)-

You can compare it to this notorious fake South African "interpreter"- Even without knowing the language, you can see BIG differences b/w your video + this one...

Metaphor in Language / Internal Logic / Linguistic Patterns

If you're speaking English, or signing in ASL, you're likely often expressing yourself in metaphor, unbeknownst to you!

Have you ever noticed...

https://youtu.be/uIDHJUbxhRI

Compare the above metaphors embedded in ASL, with examples of ubiquitous English metaphors below:

TIME IS MONEY

-I can't spend more time with you!

-That's not worth the time

-I invested too much time in that relationship

ARGUMENT IS WAR

-I shot down his argument

-Her claim is indefensible

-He tried attacking my position

IDEAS ARE BUILDINGS

-He tore down that antiquated theory

-Let's build on that idea

What metaphors are embedded in YOUR "mother tongue"?

If I find the answer, I'll pass it on!

(ah, yes- The interpreter on the 📺... I've been offered such interpreting assignments (emergency/health broadcasts), but never liked the idea of being on 📺. A few of my colleagues enjoy it, though)

Most of my interpreting experience is in Education HS/Uni, Healthcare (Hospitals, Psychiatric Facilities), Law Enforecement (police/investigations), social work visits, etc. - a dynamic career, for sure!

You are right!! 🏆

I'll pass your ⚡️zap ⚡️ to another pleb 👍

💯- I'm actually (voice) interpreting for a Deaf teacher right now + asked her if she knows why Americans developed a one-handed alphabet, being that LSQ is foundational to ASL...

She, too, is at a loss.

🤷‍♀️

Yes, the ASL alphabet uses just one hand; Others like French Sign, Australian Sign, etc use two hands simultaneously.

And yes- Things like the fun "artsy" play-with-signs/jokes will be affected if one becomes Captain Hook 🪝

👑 YES! (yes, it is!)

Let's get you zapped...
