Chapter 6: Expansion of Visual Languages
Sign Systems
signs change over time: no set variations of signs because they go through continuous changes
Rochester Method
every letter is finger spelled with hand on same level as mouth so students lipread simultaneously
seized to exist because it was tedious and time consuming
Seeing Essential English
the use of one sign for a word regardless of its meaning
no longer in widespread use, but some signs are still used
Pidgin Signed Language
uses simplest forms of manual English
used in deaf community for the sake of clarity or comprehension of certain words
because of these systems, it was hard for deaf students from different schools to communicate which is why they were short lived. ASL then became adopted by majority of schools to prevent this
Total Communication
children had the right to multiple educational approaches
separation from deaf environments and culture is communication abuse
if it is inhumane to prohibit Spanish-speaking children from using Spanish to learn English as a second language, why is it also not inhumane to prohibit deaf children from using ASL to learn English?
shows that hearing people will always try to shove a language down your throat for their own benefit
Current Learning Opportunities
access to different types of educational settings
more deaf teachers available in elementary schools
more opportunities to learn as they please
especially in ASL
bilingual approach
english as a second language but both are respected and equally attended to
Variations in Signing
Different signs for different parts of the map
certain states have their own variations of signs native to them
countries sign very differently
shows sign language isn't universal but has been adapted to accommodate different languages
black and white people sign differently
due to segregation and not being allowed to communicate with one another
learned signs on their own
