Again let me know if you guys prefer that I used signing with the voicing and CC. So Zach since you made the request hopefully that helps you. So, yeah that is the difference between arbitrary and iconic signs. Maybe that's a ball or somthing because it's round and it's circular. If I signed like BALL for example, they might be able to guess what that is. They probably wouldn't know what I'm talking about. If I were signing that to a person who doesn't know sign language and I signed this. It is not very clear that that would be an apple. Like this handshape, I don't know? There's really no reason! I mean maybe there is a reason, but I don't know what the reason is. You know this right here, that would be more signified that it's red. Apple, umm the handshape the placement, you know doesn't look like an apple. Umm maybe another ummm concept would be like APPLE for example. I mean obvioulsy the two good and bad are the opposite so you can see the difference but again, there's really no connection from the sign to the word. Good meaning something is nice or happy or you know good. That's doesn't really represent the meaning of good. So, there's really no reason why hand to your mouth, then it goes forward. So I'm trying to think of an example, like GOOD. There's no reason that sign is with that word. Now when we're talking about arbitrary umm again arbitrary the sign and the word don't really have any connection. So again the sign and the word have an obvious meaning and connection. So those are some examples of iconic signs. I'm drawing it with my fingers, or bra which is up here. So one of th reasons is because that is the shopae of underwear. Obviously you'd sign it closer down to where your underwear are but you can't see that. So the sign for underwear, at least what I use, is this. So another example would be let's say underwear. So when you do that with your hands, its the curls. So obvioulsy it's that way because the curl goes in that shape. Another example would be like curls, like curly hair. So obviously if you look at the sign, it's in the shape of a ball. So an example of an iconic sign would be like ball. Iconic signs, the signs themselves obviously are related to the word. There's no specific reason why this sign is related to that word. So arbitrary is talking about that there's a sign, the sign and the meaning don't have any relationship. So, first I'm going to teach you what each word is. So somebody had requested what is the difference, what do they mean, give some examples. So if you prefer that I'm signing let me know! Yay? Nay? If you like it, hit the LIKE button below let me know! So today's topic is arbitrary vs iconic signs. So I thought I'd go ahead and give it a try. I do remember one person had commented a while back saying that they prefer watchign me sign because it helps them to learn sign language. That's not the only reason I decided to go ahead and do signing. I had a few comments and kinda made me think. There's a few reasons why I decided to go ahead and sign today's video. So you might notice that I'm not talking today. (♪♪♪) Hi everybody! So, first of all I just kind of wanted to explain a little bit.
