So far, you have learned how to sign quite a few words in ASL and some of those signs are actually what we call “cognates” to words in English; they are words whose signs are easily understandable because their signs are almost as if you were playing the game charades and acting out the word. In ASL linguistics, we call these “iconic” signs because there is a visual reason behind the formation of the sign (IE I, YOUR, HELLO). There are also “arbitrary” signs in which there is no obvious reason behind the formation of the sign (IE MOTHER, LIKE, COLOR). Choose 20 of the signs you have learned so far and sort them into three categories: iconic, arbitrary, unsure. Explain why you chose the category for the sign.

It was said that my new york license plates would arouse interest and perhaps questions, since they were the only outward identifying marks i had. and so they did – perhaps twenty or thirty times in the whole trip. but such contacts followed an invariable pattern, somewhat as follows: local man: “new york, huh? ” me: "yep." local man: “i was there in nineteen thirty-eight – or was it thirty-nine? alice, was it thirty-eight or thirty-nine we went to new york? " alice: "it was thirty-six. i remember because it was the year alfred died.” local man: "anyway, i hated it. wouldn't live there if you paid me.” what is the purpose of this conversation in travels with charley? to show that most people in the united states hate new york to show that most people in the united states visit new york to show that most people do not treat the author differently because he is from new york to show that being from new york disrupts the author’s relationships with the people he meets
