Course Overview

In the Sign Language Structure, Learning, and Change course by edX, you will learn how the American Sign Language (ASL) and other sign languages are structured and layered grammatically. You will also study the learning process, and the learning curve associated with these languages and how easy (or difficult) children and adults find it to use and understand a sign language.

Sign languages, just like every other language, change over time. Recent research on the history and evolutionary changes in various sign languages like ASL, and more has started to reveal how sign languages came into existence, how they have changed over time and continue to change as they are used by deaf and hearing individuals, over generations. In the Sign Language Structure, Learning, and Change programme, you will study these changes in detail.
