Recognition of ASL as a Language
ASL: Research
Stokoe
developed linguistics research lab in 1957, with the help of curiosity and investors
Findings in "sign language visual communication system of the american deaf."
judged by deaf community because a person of hearing tried making new rules.
Learned there's rules that go along with it, along with certain sign patterns
People were not supportive on the research following ASL.
not valued at the time of publishing, took years for people to appreciate
Upbringing of Language vs. Sign Language
deaf students needed to learn English grammar on top of learning oral communication
spoken language
has rules too
where the tongue is
voice on or off
sign
orientation
hand shape
position
as immigrants came into the country, foreign languages cam too
US wanted English to be the dominate language
ASL Grammar
involves body, hands, arms, face, eyes, etc.
rules of handshape, location, and movement
Gestures to Sign Language
gestures didn't make presence known for situations like hunting or being hunted
evolved to spoken language
Stokoe says language comes from the brain, it travels to the mouth but there are other forms too
Sign Language in History
documentation of sign in martha's vineyard
wasn't taught in school
either learned from deaf family members or each other.
it's was formed in the early days, but it's evolved into new forms now
