How do you sign “Paper” in ASL?
PAPER: PAPER in American Sign Language (ASL) names the material of pages, notes, and printouts. The video and GIF below demonstrate the sign.
When do you use the sign PAPER?
PAPER works through school and office life: essays due, forms to fill, notes passed. Classroom instructions reach for it weekly, and it anchors the desk-supplies vocabulary beside PEN. Writing-based communication gives it extra duty between signers and non-signers.
It appears early, in Lesson 7 of Book 1.
