Abstract: In analyzing and describing the languages of the world, linguists must balance two competing goals. First, languages should be described in their own terms. Human languages exhibit extraordinary variety, and terms that identify a grammatical concept in one language (such as Latin ablative case or English gerund) cannot be imposed on other languages without the risk of misunderstanding the phenomenon at hand. However, the second goal is that, when possible, languages should be described with consistent terminology. The languages of the world exhibit remarkable similarities, and linguists find it useful to compare across languages to understand the human capacity for language. It is therefore important to use common ... Read More

Abstract: This is a review of recent and current literature on deaf blind signers, supplemented by the author's personal experiences and observations as a deaf blind part-time PhD student involved in activities related to deaf blind people in Europe. The goal of this article is to provide much-needed information about deaf blind signers and their communication preferences and needs and to raise awareness about this often-marginalized group. First, I discuss the demographics of deaf blind signers, that are the focus of this article. Second, I will point out the similarities and differences between protactile communication and tactile reception of a sign language. Third and fourth, I describe some aspects of deaf blind ...

Abstract: It is estimated that about 470,737 people, representing about two percent of Ghana's population of 32,633,991, have some degree of hearing loss. This percentage of the population includes about 110,625 people who became deaf later in life because of age or as a result of a disease (Mprah, Opoku, Duorinaah, and Nketsia 2022; Ghana National Association of the Deaf 2022; Owoo 2019). As in many other African nations (Abdelmalek, Ismail, Badi, and Abolefa 2022; Ertzgaard et al. 2020; Frank-Briggs 2012), children are well represented among the deaf people in Ghana. Hygiene and health conditions such as ototoxicity, ear infections, meningitis, measles, syndromic or nonsyndromic causes (Adadey et al. 2019; Adoba et al. ... Read More

Abstract: A goal which is infinitely remote is no goal, only a deception.The functional differentiation through language gives an entirely different principle of organization which produces not only a different type of individual but also a different society.There is still no general consensus on the idea that deaf pupils are best served by a bimodal-bilingual education in educational science, even though such consensus is stronger in sign linguistics (e.g., Brennan 2003; Humphries 2013; Knoors, Tang, and Marschark 2014; Leigh and Marschark 2016). A bimodal-bilingual education is one that allows the sign language of the national deaf community to be used as the means of instruction and be a school subject in its own right ... Read More

Abstract: More than 90 percent of deaf children are born to hearing nonsigning parents (Mitchell and Karchmer 2004, 2005). Therefore, deaf children's language acquisition is often delayed until they begin school, as a result of their limited access to communication with caregivers and family members, even with assistive hearing technology (Hall et al. 2018, Kushalnagar et al. 2020). In the United States, residential schools for the deaf served as the places where children could be immersed in American Sign Language (ASL) and thus acquire a language that fulfills all of the usual functions of human language, with peers from Deaf1 families and other proficient signers often serving as models (Lucas, Bayley, and Valli 2001). ...
