Emergency Signs


Recommended Posts

Hi!
 
I am a high school student that is planning a project to create a booklet of basic signs in a variety of different sign languages around the world for emergencies used by healthcare professionals. I was wondering if anyone could help me with some BSL grammar. I just have 5 questions that needs to be translated, but still haven't quite grasped the concept of sentence structuring in BSL. 
 
1. "Where does it hurt?" into HURT WHERE?
2. "What is your name?" into NAME YOU WHAT?
3. "Do you know sign language?" or "Do you sign?" into SIGN YOU?
4. "Do you consent?" into CONSENT YOU?
5. "Do you have any family we can call?" into FAMILY HAVE CALL?
 
Are any of these correct? I'd appreciate any form of help I can get! Thank you in advance for helping me in the process of creating this booklet for local hospitals to communicate with the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community.
 
(Also, if anyone knows other sign languages: Chinese, French, Russian, or Spanish, and can help with some grammar or words, please contact me: [email protected]!

    • Hello! I have always been interested in learning BSL and learned to fingerspell as a Brownie. I have used Makaton intermittently over the year with children who I have worked with but have always wanted to learn BSL. I have been inspired to do this recently by watching some television dramas that have had members of the d/Deaf community using BSL. I also have some hearing loss and feel that it would be useful to learn some BSL to help with communication.
    • I have always been interested in learning BSL, having taught myself the finger spelling signs when I was about 10 years old from my mum's old nursing sign language book. I have currently just finished my first year of a masters in Speech and Language Therapy which has reignited my interest. I hope to have, at the very least, a base level knowledge of BSL when going into an SLT role in the future to be able to support my communication with prospective clients / patients.
    • The topic of relationships always resonates, especially when discussed in communities where people share personal experiences and try to be as sincere as possible. It is important that the conversation is not limited to stereotypes, but touches on real feelings, doubts and hopes. Finding the right person is not an easy task, especially if you have specific perceptions of the world or communication. Fortunately, there are now platforms that take into account different life contexts. If you are in
