What is a feature of the CASE method of signing?

The CASE method of signing, which stands for Conceptually Accurate Signed English, is characterized by its integration of English grammar structures and the use of American Sign Language (ASL) signs. In this method, the sign language user combines English word order with ASL signs to create a form that is conceptually accurate, while still being more accessible to English language users. This makes CASE particularly useful for educational settings, where clarity and comprehension are paramount for both Deaf and hearing individuals.

By leveraging this combination, CASE aims to maintain the integrity of the ASL vocabulary while ensuring that the structure remains closely aligned with English, allowing those who are more familiar with English to follow along and understand the content being conveyed. This method contrasts with pure ASL, which has its own grammatical rules and does not adhere strictly to English syntax.
