But in sign language, information is processed through the eyes rather than the ears. Thus, facial expression and body movement play an important part in conveying information. Sign language shares other similarities with spoken languages. Like any living language, ASL grows and changes over time to accommodate native users' needs. ASL also has regional varieties, equivalent to spoken accents, with different signs being used in different parts of the country. American Manual Alphabet Along with sign language and lip reading, many deaf people also communicate with the manual alphabet, which uses finger positions that correspond to the letters of the alphabet to spell out words and names.

Harder - Sign languages are rich, complex languages capable of expressing the same scope of thoughts, feelings, intentions and complexities as spoken languages. Today, there are more than 100 sign languages in the world. The language of the majority of North American culturally Deaf people is American Sign Language (ASL).

130. Bilingualism And Identity In Deaf Communities Exclusive excerpt from Gallaudet University Press, by David and Rachel Locker McKee. http://gupress.gallaudet.edu/excerpts/BIDCone.html

View Our Catalog Join Our E-Mail List What's New Sign Language Studies ... Bilingualism and Identity in Deaf Communities Melanie Metzger, Editor from Name Signs and Identity in New Zealand Sign Language by Rachel Locker McKee and David McKee Personal names in any culture are a potential gold mine of information about social relationships, identity, history, and linguistic processes. In Deaf communities around the world, members are commonly referred to by sign names given to them by other Deaf people at various stages of life, which are different from the legal (spoken language) names given by parents at birth. The study of name signs provides a window on the relationship between sign language, social interaction, and identity, in this case within the New Zealand Deaf community. Because they are bestowed by other Deaf peers through a period of close acquaintance, name signs both signal and construct a person’s identity as a recognized member of a Deaf community, which is often regarded by members as an extended “family” (Monaghan 1996, 463). The acquisition of a name sign may mark a person’s entry to a signing community, and its use reinforces the bond of shared group history and “alternative” language use (in relation to mainstream society). Thus, using name signs is a linguistically efficient means of personal reference and is culturally important for interactions in a signing community because social networks tend to hinge on connections with other Deaf people rather than one’s family of origin (unless the family is also Deaf). Personal identity in the Deaf community is strongly shaped by (and reflected in) language use and by one’s relationships with peers—information that is encapsulated in a small way in name signs. Because people in the NZ Deaf community often have several name signs (which are used either at different periods of their life or alternately within different social groups or audiences), their use is somewhat context dependent.

(Wow! We even have a Martian signing here too!!! What is it? You are visitor no. to this page (since Friday 10th March 2000). (Service provided by Fast Facts Once in seven of the U.K.'s population are either deaf or hard-of-hearing (HOH). Since the U.K. has a population of about 58 million, this translates to about 8,285,714 deaf and hard-of-hearing people, a staggering number, yet only 70,000 deaf people throughout the U.K. use British Sign Language (abbreviated as BSL), which strikes me as rather odd given that there are so many deaf and hard-of-hearing people, and there is always a constant shortage of BSL interpreters. Furthermore, nine in ten of deaf children born are born to hearing parents - the ways in which a person becomes deaf are through illness (meningitis, rubella, etc.), trauma (a car accident, being knocked over, etc.), exposure to loud noises (discos, explosive noises, etc.) and genes (where both parents come from families with a history of deafness - recently, scientists have identified the gene responsible for causing deafness). The following languages are used in the U.K.:-
