When do you use EMOTIONS in ASL?
EMOTIONS heads the feeling vocabulary the way COLOR heads the colors: it asks the category question the specific signs answer. Therapy talk, parenting talk, and storytelling all reach for it. In ASL the topic is doubly at home, since feelings live on the face mid-sentence.
It appears in Lesson 68 of Book 2.
