Re: Deaf Culture and Gallaudet (4.00 / 2)

Great diary, In Wales! You really make some complicated things seem clear. Perhaps it's your own position, in-between-worlds, that throws the light.

Yes, it would be good to have some discussion of sign languages and their history, etc, in a diary some other time.

Re: Deaf Culture and Gallaudet (none / 0)

I'll get around to it at some point, I'm sure. The linguistics side interests me a great deal as well.

Just spent the evening in the pub so I'll get to answering those other comments now!

Re: Deaf Culture and Gallaudet (4.00 / 2)

From my perspective it is about communication as a process. Lingusitics is part of it - but there is so much more. It is about the very nature of a democratic society and how sub-groups are incorporated into it. We are all, after everything is said and done. members of minorities. There is no 'mass' - much as some would like to believe.

You can't be me, I'm taken
