Specialist Subjects

Auslan

When we point to something that is called a pronoun.

Pointing is not rude in Deaf culture as it is an important part of the language. 

In Auslan we can point to something instead of signing what it is, especially if we don't know what the sign is.

Instead of saying the name of something we can point.

For example:

 ‘this’, ‘that’, ‘it’, ‘he’, ‘she’, ‘them’, ‘they’, ‘those’
