In chapter 5, This chapter was very interesting to me. This chapter was about the way that Deaf people view sign language. One interesting thing to me was when William C. Stokoe’s suggested classification of sign language. Rather than classifying sign language based on the English dictionary,

Seeing Voices is a profound novel that was written by famous neurologist, Oliver Sacks in 1989. Seeing Voices is a book that delves into the history of Sign Language and expresses a genuine meaning behind what language truly is.  Oliver Sacks is an engaging and fascinating writer. Being able to explore outside what he is used to, he can expand his knowledge about language. Being knowledgeable on psychiatry can help him get a better understanding of cognitive ability in the deaf community and the importance of why keeping Sign Language away from Deaf children is not beneficial for them in the hearing world. Like many of his books,

Thomas is a famous presenter that provides different workshops only for the deaf students (Nowak 2016). His main purpose is to provide teaching to the deaf individuals. The underlying DVD helps to differentiate the hearing and the deaf culture and also the politeness of the deaf culture. It defines the deaf culture and the changing experiences of the deaf individuals. The attendance and the participation of the deaf students are becoming enhanced in the deaf events. “A sign of respect” also provides the inter-cultural communication between the deaf individuals and interpret the sign language. It also helps to adjust the culture of the deaf individuals because the polite of each deaf student is totally different with the other so that different individuals should treat differently. The underlying video separates the deaf culture and the telephone

As described in Chapter two in Signing the Body Poetic, George Veditz is introduced as one of the Tellers. Tellers are known for their gift of storytelling, and commonly referred to as “smooth signers.” They are Deaf culture’s historians, entertainers, and teachers. They show the world ways Deaf survive as a minority culture. They also rely very heavily on visual feedback from the audiences. Veditz has achieved many of these Teller characteristics, specifically when he and his colleagues filmed speeches about ASL for the NAD in 1913. As a result, there was a huge feedback and a fundraiser

Around the end of the book, Walker writes, “The fluidity of the sign is what the person enjoys watching, the actual telling of the anecdote, not the point it makes, not the final note. In sign you get excited about telling fairly mundane stories because the vigor of your presentation is part of the language. You're watching and feeling someone communicate. The language is so physical that signers are far more engaged with each other during a conversation than are most people who talk. You move and the other

He grew up in a very small town in Florida, and he started to love the fact of influencing his deaf culture. And the thought to himself, “One day, I want to influence the whole hearing culture about deaf cultures. I want to blow their mind how sign language is made and also known as a beautiful language.” This is when he started to act, he begun to act and surrounded with a small group of professional deaf actor.

By Sacks being a neurologist, he has always been interested in the ways in which humans recoup from the loss of a perceptual ability. Sacks is quite enthusiastic about the unique expressive possibility of American Sign Language because of the use of visual space as the expressive mean. He is also interested in what the study of the deaf may reveal about the human magnitude for language,

Although most of his work is one-act comedies such as “All in the Timing”, “Words, Words, Words” and “Philip Glass Buys a Loaf of Bread”, he has written several full-length plays such as “Polish Joke” and “Don Juan in Chicago”. In 2001 he also ventured into children’s literature novels with “Monsieur Eek” and “Scrib”.

The technique that Clerc taught was by the use of his hands, which he communicated with French sign language, blended with a bit of signs used by students in the United States. To Gallaudet the language was a inspiration which he called it, “Highly poetical” (Weta and Florentine films/Hott productions Inc., 2007), but to Clerc and many of the deaf people, the using of sign was natural and useful. This was a result of a created acculturated nonverbal language known as American Sign Language (ASL). As new schools for the deaf spread west and south, American sign language also evolved as well in the states of New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana, Illinois. By the year of 1864, Abraham Lincoln signed a law constituting the first college in the world for deaf students called Gallaudet University and all these schools used sign as a curriculum (Weta and Florentine

Charlie Chaplin did not use sound to communicate to the audience in his movies. Despite the fact that there was no spoken language, his movies were sensational and the audiences loved them. Chaplin was thought of as cinema’s first genius and has been called the single most-influential artist in the history of motion pictures. I am researching Charlie Chaplin to learn how he became a sensational comedian and one of the best actors of all time.
