Wordlists and stories were collected in several towns of Nepal from Deaf school leavers who were considered to be representative of the Nepali Deaf. In each city or town there was a school for the Deaf either run by the government or run by one of the Deaf Associations. The wordlists were transcribed by hand using the SignWriting orthography. Two other places were visited where it was learned that there were possibly unique sign languages, in Jumla District, and also in Ghandruk (a village in Kaski District).

  • Sign Language Ideologies: Practices and Politics
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Heriot Watt Pure Annelies Kusters, Mara Green, Erin Moriarty and Kristin Snoddon Sign language ideologies: Practices and politics While much research has taken place on language attitudes and ideologies regarding spoken languages, research that investigates sign language ideol- ogies and names them as such is only just emerging. Actually, earlier work in Deaf Studies and sign language research uncovered the existence and power of language ideologies without explicitly using this term. However, it is only quite recently that scholars have begun to explicitly focus on sign language ideologies, conceptualized as such, as a field of study. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first edited volume to do so. Influenced by our backgrounds in anthropology and applied linguistics, in this volume we bring together research that addresses sign language ideologies in practice. In other words, this book highlights the importance of examining language ideologies as they unfold on the ground, undergirded by the premise that what we think that language can do (ideology) is related to what we do with language (practice).¹ All the chapters address the tangled confluence of sign lan- guage ideologies as they influence, manifest in, and are challenged by commu- nicative practices. Contextual analysis shows that language ideologies are often situation-dependent and indeed often seemingly contradictory, varying across space and moments in time. Therefore, rather than only identifying language ideologies as they appear in metalinguistic discourses, the authors in this book analyse how everyday language practices implicitly or explicitly involve ideas about those practices and the other way around.

  • Sheikh Kamal Sports Complex. Abahoni Ground, Shat Mosjit Road, Dhanmondi, Dhaka
    Sheikh Kamal Sports Complex. Abahoni ground, Shat Mosjit Road, Dhanmondi, Dhaka BY MD. SHAIFUR RAHMAN 10308014 SEMINAR II Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Architecture Department of Architecture BRAC University 2015 ABSTRACT Sheikh Kamal Sports Center is designed to accommodate different types of sports easily. While any center could potentially host more than one type of sport or event, this concept usually refers to a specific design philosophy that stresses multi-functionality over specificity. While building in this way, both the sports teams and government can share costs. If a building is multi-use, a planner should be asking what kind of surface it has (meaning of what product), and thinking about what type of roll the ball will take as a result. It is also helpful to ask what types of sports are being played on the arena. Keeping in mind about the uncontrolled growth of the population with the proportional decrease in open space, to build a sports complex so that the need within limited land area can be accommodated by the efficient use of the land are the main area of exploration of this paper. The aim of the paper is to set an example of the possible solutions of the government proposed Sheikh Kamal Sports Complex within the context of Dhaka, Bangladesh – which is one of the most densely populated city as well as country and also facing the issue of sports facility badly. 2 Acknowledgement I would like to cordially show gratitude to my thesis advisor, Dr. Mohammad Faruk and Dr.
