  • Silorb and Signotate: a Proposal for Lexicography and Corpus-Building Via the Transcription, Annotation, and Writing of Signs
    SiLOrB and Signotate: A Proposal for Lexicography and Corpus-building via the Transcription, Annotation, and Writing of Signs Brenda Clark, Greg Clark [email protected], [email protected] Abstract This paper proposes a system of standardized transcription and orthographic representation for sign languages (Sign Language Orthography Builder) with a corresponding text-based corpus-building and annotation tool (Signotate). The transcription system aims to be analogous to IPA in using ASCII characters as a standardized way to represent the phonetic aspects of any sign, and the writing system aims to be transparent and easily readable, using pictographic symbols which combine to create a 'signer' in front of the reader. The proposed software can be used to convert transcriptions to written signs, and to create annotated corpora or lexicons. Its text-based human- and machine-readable format gives a user the ability to search large quantities of data for a variety of features and contributes to sources, such as dictionaries and transcription corpora. Keywords: transcription, orthography, annotation tools Both currently exist as early versions which aim to 1.

  • GOICO the Impact of “Inclusive” Education on the Language of Deaf Youth in Iquitos, Peru
    The Impact of "Inclusive" Education on the Language of Deaf Youth in Iquitos, Peru Sara Alida Goico Sign Language Studies, Volume 19, Number 3, Spring 2019, pp. 348-374 (Article) Published by Gallaudet University Press DOI: https://doi.org/10.1353/sls.2019.0001 For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/724363 [ Access provided at 23 Nov 2020 15:54 GMT from UCLA Library ] SARA ALIDA GOICO The Impact of “Inclusive” Education on the Language of Deaf Youth in Iquitos, Peru Abstract In Iquitos, Peru, a city of about 500,000 in the Peruvian Amazon, there is a disparity in the sign language skills of deaf individuals based on age. Large numbers of deaf adults use Peruvian Sign Language (LSP) as their primary means of communication and interact with one another at deaf association and church gatherings. In contrast, the majority of deaf youth younger than eighteen years old grow up primarily in hearing environments, without access to spoken Span- ish or LSP. In order to communicate with the hearing individuals around them, many develop rudimentary manual communication systems, called homesigns. The disparity in language skills between deaf youth and deaf adults has not always been so prominent. In the past, deaf students in Iquitos gained access to LSP by attending one of four special education schools, where they could routinely interact with deaf peers and, sometimes, deaf adults. In recent years, however, deaf youth have been placed in regular education “inclusive” class- rooms, where they are typically the only deaf person in the school and receive no support services to access the language of the class- room.

  • The Deaf of Ecuador
    Profile Year: 2011 People and Language Detail Profile Language Name: Ecuadorian Sign Language ISO Language Code: ecs The Deaf of Ecuador The Ecuadorian Sign Language Community Deaf Ecuadorians are working hard to have Lengua de Señas de Ecuador LSEC), Ecuadorian Sign Language, recognized as a legitimate language. In 2010, there were approximately 213,000 Ecuadorian deaf people according to Consejo Nacional de Discapacidades (CONADIS), the national disability organization. The largest deaf population lives in Quito with the next largest populations living in Guayaquil and Cuenca. The Federación Nacional de Sordos del Ecuador (FENASEC) began 25 years ago and strives to encourage sign language use and self development among deaf Ecuadorians and to implement a sign language development plan. FENASEC is working to create a LSEC dictionary and distribute it to schools, interpreters, and the general deaf population by 2012. Lenín Moreno Garcés, the current Vice President of Ecuador, has advocated for disabled Ecuadorians, including deaf people, increasing their voice in society. Deaf people frequently meet together for soccer, association meetings, and other social events. All adults are required to work by law but higher-paying positions are difficult for deaf people to obtain. Deaf people indicate that many can work their way to higher-paid positions after proving their skill level. Most deaf students attend deaf-only or mixed-disability schools. The largest deaf school that offers both primary and secondary education is located in Quito: Primary Religion: Instituto Nacional de Audición y Lenguaje (INAL). Most of the deaf schools use Christianity Total Communication as their method of communication in teaching; very few ____________________________________________________________ schools are bilingual.

The objective of this study is to describe how Brazilian Sign Lan- guage is taught in undergraduate Nursing courses. Method: This was a descriptive study with a qualitative approach, performed with fifteen professors from four universities, two public and two private and in the metropolitan region of Rio de Janeiro, through individual interviews with an analysis procedure guided by Content Analysis. Results: The teaching is restricted to the adoption of planned and established approaches to sign language and procedures to assess theoretical con- tents and practical domains sign language teaching exclusively in elective course often offered through the online platform. Conclusion: We conclude that professors are not prepared for the teaching of sign language and that curricula need to be appropriate to the demand of full and in- distinct assistance to the population’s needs.
