Why is storytelling important?
WHyStorytelling is an important aspect of Deaf culture. ASL does not have its own
written language, however through the use of ASL stories their culture can continue to
grow. Storytelling is a tradition. The stories could teach a lesson, something saddening, or a good
joke. In Deaf culture, storytelling for Deaf people helps show their true identity.
Storytelling allows people in the Deaf community to share their beliefs and values.
Storytelling is a joy to watch and participate in.

Classifier Stories
Deze video is niet meer beschikbaar
Welke video was dit?
Let's focus on classifier storytelling. What makes a story a classifier story? The
storyteller uses a variety of classifiers to replace noun usage. The signer uses ONLY
classifiers to share their tale. Non-manual markers help add detail to the story so the
content is clearly understood. Classifier stories are a tradition in Deaf culture and
shared throughout the Deaf community.

Slide 15 - Tekstslide

Storytelling
Many stories are rooted in traditions because they originate from people’s lives
years ago and change slightly over time and become legends, tall tales, and folktales
told to families for generations.

Slide 16 - Tekstslide

Handshape Rhymes
A storyteller or poet can create various handshape-based rhymes. "Alliteration" is one of the forms, in which the signer uses the same handshape of ASL words throughout the story or poem. For example, "farm", "landscape", "trees" and so on, in which all of these ASL words use the same "5" handshape. "Alternative alliteration" is another example in which a poet choose two handshapes and alternate them word by word in ASL. For example, alternative 2-handshape and 5-handshape in a ASL short story.

Slide 17 - Tekstslide

ABC Stories
ABC stories in ASL are one example of how a storyteller tells a story using each handshape of the manual alphabet. For example, "A" for knocking on the door (which is very common), "B" for opening the door, "C" for shaking hands and so on. Along with these handshape-based ASL words, facial expression and other non-manual markers are accompanied. The storyteller may use various sequences, such as from A to Z or from Z to A. From A,A to Z,Z is a more challenging entertainment.
