What is it about?
How does Chinese Sign Language express questions? for example, we front WH in English when we ask questions or we put 'do' or something at the initial position. However, in CSL, we often put WH word at the end of the sentence, which is also found across signed languages. The special feature about CSL is that we have particles to construct yes-no questions.
