Nope...
Short answer (stollen from the article I am putting a link to below)
|
When communicating with the hearing impaired, both American Sign Language (ASL) and Signed English (SE) are used. The basic signs for words are the same; however, with Signed English (SE) a sign is executed for every word in a sentence whereas American Sign Language seeks to convey a concept. For example, if I were to sign "I have two sisters" in Signed English, I would make a sign for each word. In ASL, I might make the signs for "two" and "sister" and then point to myself, conveying the thought "two sisters, me." |
