The main aim of Chapter 2 is to develop your understanding of how signs are formed and to help you improve the accuracy of your sign articulation. Section 2.1 contains detailed information related to the five components of signs: handshape, location, movement, orientation and non-manual features, and also includes some description of the arrangement of the hands and how to put signs together with the least influence from English possible. The following section, 2.2, provides examples of common sign articulation errors made in relation to the five components and how to correct them. This includes explanation of the typical errors that are made when learners rely on English words and do not think about the meaning or context of the concept they want to express. This chapter ends with Section 2.3, which provides exercises to improve sign articulation and encourages BSL learners to practice use of both manual and non-manual features of BSL.
