Importance of Facial Expressions in American Sign Language (ASL)

The video tutorial provides insights into deaf culture, focusing on how head movements, facial expressions, and eye gaze are used to indicate grammar in American Sign Language (ASL). It explains that changing facial expressions can convey different messages, particularly in forming yes-no and wh-questions. Yes-no questions involve raised eyebrows and widened eyes, while wh-questions involve lowered eyebrows and often a head tilt. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of these non-verbal cues in ASL communication.
