  • Some sign languages are complex and can be used for conversation.
  • Signals are often symbols for words and phrases.
  • Sign language used by people who have little or no hearing (or ‘signing’ as it is often called) involves making a picture or sign with one or two hands.
  • The picture often stands for the concept behind the word as well as the word itself.
  • For example, the sign for ‘big’ can also mean large, huge, enormous, or gigantic, by changing the feeling of the gesture with eyes, face, body and legs.
