Pidgin Signed English (PSE)

Pidgin Signed English (PSE) is a communication method that combines elements of American Sign Language (ASL) and spoken English. It uses signs from ASL but follows English grammatical structures and word order. PSE allows signers to express ideas in a way that mirrors English syntax, making it accessible for those learning English or for situations where full ASL may not be practical. It is often used in informal settings, educational contexts, or when a balance between sign language and spoken language is needed to facilitate understanding among diverse audiences.
