In American Sign Language (ASL), an "unmarked handshape" typically refers to handshapes that do not have any additional modifiers or variations. Common unmarked handshapes include the open hand (A), closed fist (B), and others like flat hand (S).

Since you mentioned "A," "B," and "S," I assume you are listing potential options. However, without having access to the specific list or context in which these handshapes are being used, it is challenging to identify which one is not an unmarked handshape definitively.

If you have any other context or specific handshapes in mind, please provide that information for a more accurate answer.

I do not

Based on your options:

  • A (an open handshape),
  • B (a fist handshape),
  • S (a fist handshape with the thumb across the fingers),

All of these are relatively common unmarked handshapes in American Sign Language (ASL). However, the interpretation of what constitutes "unmarked" can sometimes vary based on context or specific language nuances.

Typically, all the options you provided (A, B, and S) are examples of unmarked handshapes. If you're referring to the specific classifications used in a particular context, then without additional context, it's hard to definitively state which one is not an unmarked shape. If you're following a specific curriculum or list, I suggest checking that source to clarify.
