Use traditional ASL signs and created signs for pronouns and affixes.
Still used in many mainstreamed school programs.
Linguistics of Visual English (LOVE)
Has only one sign for each printed word, with the addition of new signs for plurals and nouns.
Developed signs for the first letter of the word as part of the sign.

the basic sign for WORK is the traditional “S” handshape
“F” handshape,
“O” for operation,
“E” for employment,
“J” for job,
“P” for practicum,
“R” for rehearsal,
“T” for training and

Pidgin Signed English (PSE)

using ASL arbitrarily in English word order.
Signs representing articles (“a,” “an,” “the”) or word endings (“ing,” “ness,” or “ly”) are generally not used.
