Sign print bilingualism[edit]

How would the community feel if a section was added in the Bimodal bilingualism page about sign print bilingualism? While bimodal bilingualism is applied primarily to spoken language, literacy is an additional aspect of the bilingual condition that is poorly accounted for in Wikipedia and is a growing topic of research amongst signed language linguists (such as Chamberlain and Mayberry). If consensus is that bimodal bilingualism is not the appropriate forum for sign print bilingualism, what does the community feel is? Vanberg (talk) 20:27, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I only just saw that this was here. I also see that you've added the section to the article - very nice work! If you are interested in contributing more in these areas, could I persuade you to take a look at the Applied Linguistics Task Force, or at WikiProject Deaf? We could definitely do with more knowledgeable contributors. All the best — Mr. Stradivarius ^♫ 11:36, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

'Deaf' capitalization?[edit]

Why is "Deaf" consistently capitalized as if it were a proper noun? Is this political? It certainly isn't standard.69.244.155.82 (talk) 00:40, 20 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed this too. Shenme (talk) 23:21, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Amongst Deaf scholars, there is a distinction between people who are physically deaf (as in they cannot hear) and people who are culturally Deaf (as in they are a part of Deaf culture). The two are not interchangeable and are actually quite different. For example 90% of Children of deaf adults are hearing, but they grow up in Deaf culture, communicating in a signed language, telling jokes, and interacting with deaf people.

Clarification on "non-hearing impaired"[edit]

When referring to non-hearing impaired bimodal bilinguals, does this refer to hearing people? And if so, why not take out the label of impairment? "While non-hearing-impaired bimodal bilinguals showed less parietal activation than deaf signers when asked to use only sign language, those same bimodal bilinguals demonstrated greater left parietal activation than did monolinguals."

In addition, when it says "those same bimodal bilinguals" is it referring to the hearing bimodal bilinguals, the deaf bimodal bilinguals, or both?

Wiki Education assignment: Sign Language Structure[edit]

Our group has reached completion of our semester-long project and class discussion regarding sign language structures and linguistic-related concepts such as phonology, morphology, syntax, psycholinguistics, iconicity and language ideologies. We also discussed, researched and presented on the substantial amount of research biases when it comes to the Deaf community, Deaf education, ASL as a language, and linguistic capital. All of our research and edits can be found on [group sandbox page here] [[1]]
