How Does American Sign Language Affect Society

Improved Essays
I decided to study how American sign language has become beneficial in today's society and how can it help with job opportunities.Why even learn it or teach it in the first place. American sign language like any other sign language takes time to learn. Signing it and making sure you done it correctly is also hard. It even takes time to be able to interpret it. To begin let’s look at the beginning of sign language the history of it.
Sign language had a very unique history of how it came to be. It was once thought that people needed to hear the spoken language. There in turn made the notion that it was impossible to teach the deaf and therefore they could not learn. So they were treated basically like children they were not allowed to buy property

    Firstly, upon learning the sign language, this becomes like a permanent language just like an individual’s native language. Naturally, one may forget the new languages learned such a Spanish, Italian or French, but very hard for a deaf cultured individual to forget to communicate in the deaf language.

    Since being hearing and speaking is viewed normal many hearing parents goal for their deaf child is to get them to have intelligible speech and be able to lip-read. Although theoretically this may sound like a great goal, it is ultimately setting the child up to fail. The goal should be communication and for a child who is deaf sign language is the most successful means of communication. Therefore, sign language should be the first avenue for teaching communication, not the oral approach.…

    The Milan conference in 1880 was not much help to the support of Sign Language and Deaf culture because it was the belief that deaf people should be taught orally. It was voted 140 to 4 that oral method should be the preferred method of teaching. It is quite baffling to think that the hearing culture was making decisions for people that they probably knew nothing about. In addition, I am sure they did not ask the deaf community which method they would prefer or even to just let them have the option to pick. In today’s society, Deaf people still unfortunately still struggle at times to gain the independence they deserve due to the uneducated hearing community who label them as impaired.…

That is something I am currently learning and defiantly need to improve on. I also noticed that Deaf people often move their mouths while signing. The majority of the Deaf people who were demonstrated in the film would move their mouths while signing.…

    Prior to the comprehensive works and visionary thinking of William Stokoe, the American Deaf community remained deprived of recognition as a culture and community that shared a complex and intricate language rich in structure and system. Shortly after Stokoe began his twenty-nine year exploration of Sign Language at Gallaudet University in 1955, the Deaf Community’s future as an acknowledged independent community became immeasurably brighter. Through almost three decades of research, observations, learning, and writing, English Professor William Stokoe Ph.D. brought validation to the Deaf Community through by publishing his findings, which not only earned him the title of “Father of American Sign Language” but also legitimized American Sign…

    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…
