Heyya, jillio, I managed to come across a piece from a random blog, which was redirected to a thread on AllDeaf about deaf literature.
Apart from "Islay" by Douglas Bullard, have you ever seen ASL successfully employed in a fictional piece of work? The problem with incorporating SEE, ASL, cued speech and so in my writing in a form of glossing is that they all seems childish... which they are not.
I view SEE to have the short-stop stressed words of Germanic language which render it as "blocky," while ASL and contact sign have the fluidity of the Romantic languages, and cued speech to be similar to the clicks of Khosian languages. At least that how I managed to arrange them in my head... just nto sure how to implement that those feelings into written English.
Do you know any literature off the top of your head that can shape my direction with this?
Oh, man... I hope no one think I am pro-Democrats because of the threads... because I voted for the Conservatives three times in Canada... and voted for a Liberal once who happens to prescribe to neo-liberalism.
I posted a couple of Republican blasting topics. I stirred the angry bees. Seems those Re-pubes have a thing for young girls. I knew about Sen. Craig and his "wide stance" in the stall, since it was local.
To be fair, the development of Deaf culture resembles that of the development of Latin America if you look how doctrines, events and social stigmas interact with each others. It is pretty uncanny-- unlike other regions of the world which tend to be more or less linear or at least bottle-necked. So the thought process is transferable. Wish I can say the same when I was required by the university to take pre-industrial English or Canadian history though. :\
