Is localization a way to add inflection to words, like, by adding direction to signs? Do repeating a sign to show plural count as inflections? Is numberical incorporation inflections? If the answer is yes, my guess is that ASL is a highly inflective language. It's at least typical for...

Just fine! Immersed in sign language and deaf culture, but check alldeafcom now and then :wave:

So basically, Fuzzy is just pulling a lot of straw men?

Did you read this anywhere, or are you making up things as it fit you? What Grummer says is basic knowledge in sociology. What you say makes little sense in scholarly discourses. I can imagine that some people feel uneasy about the idea that deaf people aren't disabled, because it would mean...

Disability is a bit outdated term to me. Deaf people can fly, do surgeries etc, it's the society that denies deaf people this, because the majority have decided one specific way to do things that exclude people that don't fit. In the future, with more people getting equal dependent on...

If you were born deaf, CI probably won't be worth it, but everyone is different. If you are late deafned, it's probably more a yes-choice. But hard to say, since you lost hearing at 18 months(in another post)? If you have lost more gradually after that, you will maybe feel CI is an improvement...

May I remind you this is not a FIGHT CLUB thread, normal rules apply here. This post is reported as purely insulting, not adding anything, and breaking a few other rules about discussing CI.

I agree with the post where SEE is described as crap, because I think the poster maybe was thinking about SEE, as a artifically created system, used for everyday communication or special needs tool, rather than a state of ASL where one discuss any written/spoken languages. Storytelling and...

Understand you perfect. But to understand how a tool box can be of benefit for deaf, or what it really means, I belive one have to be deaf. Most hearing people are lost in various and conflicting perspectives on what it means. They are stuck with subjective perspectives because they lack...

Agree. I would never make the choices you did, but what you write makes sense to me and is shared by many parents nowdays. At least, sign language is more accepted that in the 90s. Look forward to hopefully met your daughter someday at one of my international deaf power militia anti-CI...

Yes, what do we need a such subjetive term for? Quite pointless. The origin of those terms are also of interest and can explain their use, too. "Full toolbox" = from special education needs thinking, "Informed choices" = usually used when informing patients about pills or surgeries...

That "full toolbox" is too often used as an excuse to implent depriving actions that involves oralist ideas. Another problematic thing with "full toolbox" is it's not true that having everything is having more. People with some minimum of wisdom can acknowledge that when we got something, we...

This is for some strange reasons not mentioned in this "good and interesting" article. Read some recent papes showing that hoh and oral deaf people generally speak slower than hearing people can do, and also have a slower internal voice, affecting their thinking abilities. Old news, but worth to...

Yes. Someone is trying to ignore the elephant in the room. Notice that the article have classic oralists arguments that are at least 150 years old. "signs is too hard to learn, we choose spoken language which of course is best for our child, technology/methods have improved vast". I'm not...

This is proof that people actually belive companies when they say "what we got this year is so much better than the stuff from last year".
