Expression

Facial expressions are an important part of signing. While it does not play a major role in individual signs, it becomes very important at the sentence level. For example, negation can be made by making the normal sign and shaking one's head at the same time, and questions are formed by raising the eyebrows or tilting the head (depending on the type of question).
