Speaking with your hands
British Sign Language (BSL) is the sign language used
by many deaf people in the United Kingdom. BSL is an
officially recognised language and is the first or preferred
language of 125,000 deaf adults in the UK and about
20,000 children. It is a non-written language for people
who can’t hear other people speak. People who can
hear and who communicate with deaf people also use it.

Read the second part of the text and match
BSL is only one of about 300 sign languages in use in
the world today. There isn’t a sign for every word in the
equivalent spoken language. Instead, one sign made with
the hands can sometimes mean a single word, and at other
times can communicate a complete phrase.
Sign languages haven’t got the same grammatical structures
as the other word-based languages we learn in school.
Often, the order of signs that make a phrase or question
is different from the order of the spoken-word language.
For example, ‘Where are you from?’ in English is signed as
‘From where you?’
Everyone who uses and understands sign language,
however, uses the same basic principles of communication:
1
– how the hands are used. The hands are
the most important parts of the body when using sign
language.
2
– how and where people put their hands on
the head, face or body.
3
– moving your hands up or down, from right
to left, or in a circle.
4
– the head, face and body can show the
difference, for example, between a statement and a
question, or between a positive and a negative.
