What is Sign Language?
Sign language is a language that is communicated through body language and lip movements. Unlike the languages known today, sign language has its own grammar. So, there are special rules that are used in sign language.
If the spoken language uses sentence structures, sign language uses various elements such as hand gestures, sequences of signs, and expressions. All of these elements are used together to create sentences.
Most people think that sign language is the language used by the deaf. Now, sign language is also used by some people for some special conditions. An example is when in a dangerous situation. For this reason, sign language is important to learn.
What is the Function of Sign Language for Children's Communication?
Sign language does not only function as communication for the deaf but also facilitates children's communication. So, sign language is used as one of the best tools for normal children to help them facilitate communication with other people.
In addition, many researchers explain that children who are proficient in sign language have a high IQ. Children who can sign language will also be able to express their emotions through signs. So, parents will understand the desires of children easily.
