Here are some ways you could sign "sign" in ASL:

* "Sign" as a noun, meaning a visual symbol: You would use the sign for "sign" which is a handshape like the letter "S" with the palm facing out, moving from your chin upwards.

* "Sign" as a verb, meaning to communicate using sign language: You would use the sign for "sign language" which involves using a "Y" handshape and moving it from your chin downwards.

The specific sign you use would depend on the context of the sentence. For example:
