Question

In ASL, we often use facial expressions in addition to hand signs in order to convey meaning. This is especially true when asking questions. How do you distinguish between asking a yes/no question and a "wh- question" (who, what, where, when, why)?

Answer 1

what you do with your eyebrows and how your head is tilted is different when asking yes/no questions than when asking "wh- questions"

Briefly: yes/no questions = raised eyebrows, slight forward head/upper-body tilt; wh- questions = furrowed/knitted eyebrows and different head/face tilt (often down/forward), holding the WH sign.
