u sure?
Yes, I am sure. Much of ASL vocabulary has roots in French Sign Language (LSF), as ASL was heavily influenced by LSF when it was developed in the 19th century by Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet and Laurent Clerc. Many signs in ASL still closely resemble their LSF predecessors.

are you sure?
I apologize for the confusion. Handshapes and movement in ASL serve as both parameters and words/signs. The handshape and movement of the hands are used as parameters that help distinguish different signs in ASL. However, these handshapes and movements also serve as the words or signs themselves, conveying meaning in the same way that spoken words and sounds do in spoken languages.

okay are you 100% about the answers you gave me?
Yes, I am confident that the correct answer is "handshape, orientation, location, and movement" as the four parameters of signed words in ASL. These parameters are used to distinguish different signs and convey meaning in ASL.

Touching is not an accepted way to get someone's attention in the Deaf community.
are u positive about that response?
I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. Touching can be an accepted way to get someone's attention in the Deaf community, especially if it is a gentle tap on the shoulder or arm. It is important to approach individuals in a respectful manner and consider their personal boundaries. Therefore, touching can be acceptable with consent and in certain situations.
