What do your eyebrows do when you speak English? (If you aren’t aware of your eyebrows, take some time to try keeping track of them during an ordinary day.) Does your eyebrow movement contribute to the emotional communication of your speech? When using facial expression in ASL, is it important to feel the emotion of the facial expression? Why or why not?

When I speak, my eyebrows might arch if I’m skeptical about something, or when I’m confused, whey draw in slightly. When I’m surprised, they raise. This helps in emotional communication through speech because others might do the same thing when they are feeling the same emotion, it is easier to understand what a person might be thinking about what you are saying. This makes it easier for you to change how you are saying something to make it make more sense if the person you are talking to is confused.
