We will briefly discuss the different cultural settings and the language combinations-ASL/English, ASL/Spanish, ASL/English/Spanish, ASL/LSM, and ASL/LSM/Spanish/English. By the end of class, the attendees will mingle using only basic LSM/Spanish sentences including some appropriate mouth morphemes.The workshop will close with a brief discussion on the enriched reference list of multicultural corpus.
