Workshop Payment

This workshop introduces participants to the many layers of meaning that go far beyond vocabulary and grammar. Using accessible, hands-on activities, we explore how people shape meaning in both spoken and signed languages through the plethora of subtle, nuanced features of each language.

Participants will see how subtle adjustments— like changing the location of a sign, or shifting the intonation of speech—can completely transform a message. The session emphasizes awareness, interpretation, and intentional use of expressive features to improve communication in any modality.
