NEXT WEEK: The
American Sign Language (ASL) sign for "next-week"
The sign for "next
week" has a couple of variations.
This sign slides the dominant "index-finger" hand forward and off of the
base hand, then curves sharply to the left (if you are right handed).
Note it is the knuckles and thumb of the dominant hand that slide across the
base hand palm.
NEXT-WEEK:
Sample sentence: NEXT WEEK P-E-T-E-R START NEW JOB SALESPERSON.
Another version of "next week" uses index fingers on both hands.
The dominant hand moves forward and to the left.
next-WEEK (double index fingers variation)
This version actually moves backwards and then flips a
U underneath the base hand. Note the slightly different starting
position.
Note: The base hand doesn't move. Only the dominant hand is moving.
NEXT-WEEK (backward variation)
And, finally, you might see this done without the base hand.
The movement here is the same as the sign above. It moves backward
then downward then forward in a quick flipping movement.
You just do it without the base hand.
NEXT-WEEK (one-handed variation)
