What is ASL Classifier?
Classifiers are designated handshapes and/or rule-grounded body pantomime used to represent nouns and verbs. The purpose of the classifier is to provide additional information about nouns and verbs such as: location, kind of action, size, shape and manner. ASL has many classifier handshapes to represent specific categories or class of objects.
