    Personally, prior to reading chapter four in the text Journey Into The Death World, I never thought about what it might like as a death baby and in terms of developmental milestones. Reading this chapter gave me a lot of information of this death babies and I realized that there are more similarities than differences in the development of a hearing child and a death one. One thing that shocked me is when the author mentioned that a deaf child can sign up to fifteen different words by age 2. In my opinion they have an advantage over the hearing ones in this regard. I have to agree with the author when he mentioned that ASL is a language because if it was not it would not be difficult.…

The students were enrolled in two Managua schools and arrived with only a limited crude gestural signs, which had been developed within their families. As the children were brought together they begin to sign amongst themselves, therefore creating a new language. A decade later, Nicaraguan Sign Language, came from the creation of the children.

Children who are deaf and are in school, and for example are taking tests, it can be really difficult for them to understand due to their disability, and being that one sign can be a whole sentence and not making much sense on a test. Cohen once said, “Educators have been failing deaf children for centuries. The history of deaf education has been marked by a single goal: to get deaf people to communicate like hearing…

    American Sign Language is a unique language with diverse syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and morphemes, which includes grammatical aspects which are not present in English including classifiers. Despite the limited research in specific areas of ASL, due to ASL not being officially recognized as a language until 1960, the importance of classifiers is indisputable. Classifiers are “designated handshapes and/or rule-grounded body pantomime used to represent nouns and verbs” by representing a class of things with a shared characteristic (Aron 1). They can express many different key pieces of information and are an extremely complex aspect of ASL grammar. Classifiers are essential to nearly all levels of storytelling, making both receptive and expressive…
