Stokoe arrived at Gallaudet to teach English to the students, but upon observing ASL up close, he made a shocking realization. In this era, sign language was viewed as a cheap mimicry of spoken languages, a primitive and insufficient means of communication for those who couldn’t hear.
This “discovery” began both modern ASL linguistic research and its acceptance as true language, and was the start of its reintroduction into the classroom.
7 Απρ 2023 · The roots of ASL can be traced back to the early 19th century, with the merging of local sign languages and the Old French Sign Language (OFSL) brought to the United States by Laurent Clerc, a Deaf educator from France (Lane, Hoffmeister, & Bahan, 1996).
Video technology, in particular, has revolutionized how ASL is taught, practiced, and used in communication. Video calling platforms allow for remote ASL communication and education, making it easier for Deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals to connect with others.
In 1965, A Dictionary of American Sign Language described signs of the language and led others to study deaf people’s sign language around the world. Symbols were used to identify placement, handshape, and movement of signs.
