The historical development and traditions of sign languages differ greatly from those of spoken languages. Taking this premise as a starting point we will look at the development of sign language(s) from a historical perspective as well as how sign languages have been viewed linguistically and socially over the course of the centuries. We will also be concerned with the acquisition and the teaching of sign language predominantly in Germany and the US. Above and beyond that, we will be looking at the socio-linguistic situation of the Deaf in Germany and the US.
Students registered for this class have to come a first meeting in January (Jan. 27, 9 a.m., C4-230) and prepare reading and short presentations for the block course in April. Any student failing to do so may not take part in this course.
I will announce the topics available and literature at our first meeting.
