Which method involves creating visual equivalents of spoken words using manual symbols?

The method that involves creating visual equivalents of spoken words using manual symbols is Signed English. This approach is designed to represent the grammatical structure of English using signs, which allows for a more direct correlation between the spoken language and the signs used.

This method incorporates signs from American Sign Language while also employing additional signs to represent English grammar and syntax, such as word endings, articles, and other components that are essential for communication in English. The visual representation of spoken words helps facilitate better understanding and learning of the language, especially for individuals who may be deaf or hard of hearing.

In contrast, Conceptually Accurate Signed English focuses on the conceptual meaning of what is being communicated rather than strictly adhering to English grammar. American Sign Language, while a distinct language with its own grammar and syntax, does not aim to create equivalents of spoken English in the same direct way that Signed English does. Simultaneous Communication incorporates both spoken language and sign language at the same time but does not specifically focus on the visual representation of spoken English through manual symbols in the manner that Signed English does.
