Sarah the sight i found was "Funbrain". my fact of deaf history:Rudolphus Agricola, 1443-1485, was interested in the Deaf and wrote a book "De Inventione Dialectica". He wrote that a person who is born Deaf can express himself by putting down his thoughts in writing. The book was never published till a 100 years later.

Sarah Hauth1. http://www.kidsdomain.com/brain/read/sign.html 2. The American manual alphabet is one of several in use today. It is ASL’s closest relative to a writing system, which most spoken languages employ. Each handshape in the manual alphabet corresponds to a written letter in the English alphabet. Fingerspelling is most commonly used for proper names and other words for which no widely recognized sign exists. As with any form of sign language, words should be mouthed or spoken to help the observer understand. I think that as the years go on that ASL will become a bigger and bigger language. I think that American Sign Language will grow, as we grow. Because each year we get more and more deaf people every day.

BrittneeQuestion 1: www.funbrain.com Question 2: A fact that I thought was interesting was that sign language is often credited to someone other than the one who really created it. Pedro Ponce de Léon is the one who created it while Juan Pablo Martin Bonet is often given the credit. I also find it interesting but sad that there was a time in the 1800's that sign language was considered inappropriate and was not taught for it was believed that deaf people should be able to lip read.

Sara1. http://commtechlab.msu.edu/sites/aslweb/browser.htm 2. ·The first book on teaching sign language to deaf people that contained the manual alphabet was published in 1620 by Juan Pablo de Bonet. ·In 1755 Abbe Charles Michel de L’Epee of Paris founded the first free school for deaf people. He created and demonstrated a language of signs whereby each would be a symbol that suggested the concept desired. ·These two methods (manual and oral) were the forerunners of today's concept of total communication. Total communication espouses the use of all means of available communication, such as sign language, gesturing, fingerspelling, speechreading, speech, hearing aids, reading, writing, and pictures. ·America owes a tremendous debt of gratitude to Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet, an energetic Congregational minister who became interested in helping his neighbor's young deaf daughter, Alice Cogswell. He traveled to Europe in 1815, when he was twenty-seven, to study methods of communicating with deaf people. While in England he met Abbe Roche Ambroise Sicard, who invited him to study at his school for deaf people in Paris. After several months Gallaudet returned to the United States with Laurent Clerc, a deaf sign language instructor from the Paris school ·In 1817 Gallaudet founded the nation's first school for deaf people, in Hartford, Connecticut, and Clerc became the United States' first deaf sign language teacher. In 1820 a school was opened in Pennsylvania, and a total of twenty-two schools had been established throughout the United States by the year 1863. ·Edward Miner Gallaudet became the first president of the new college.Today we are fortunate to have one of the most complete and expressive sign language systems of any country in the world. We owe much to the French sign system, from which many of our present-day signs, though modified, have been derived.

Alexis Question #1: http://commtechlab.msu.edu/sites/aslweb/browser.htm Question #2: In 1778 Samuel Heinicke of Leipzig, Germany did not use the manual method of communication but taught speech and speechreading. He established the first public school for deaf people that achieved government recognition. These two methods (manual and oral) were the forerunners of today's concept of total communication. Total communication espouses the use of all means of available communication, such as sign language, gesturing, finger spelling, speechreading, speech, hearing aids, reading, writing, and pictures.

Dalgreno’s alphabet required two hands and assigned each letter a spot on the fingers or palm of the right hand, which were pointed to by the left index finger or thumb.” I find this fact interesting because I never knew that this guy named George Dalgreno made an alphabet using both hands, and that it is called Didascalocophus. That there is something else then just sign language.

I found it most interesting that thought out the history of Sign Language, many different cultures, but now there are many different sign languages. There is not one universal language, but many different ones. A unique fact is that the American Indians had a very extensive system of signing, but it was mostly used for intertribal communication and very little of it remains today.

soniQuestion #1 http://commtechlab.msu.edu/sites/aslweb/browser.htm #2 Brief History of ASL Despite theories and speculation that all of human language has its roots in signed gestures and hand signals that served as an early form of communication, it is impossible to say for sure whether or not language developed in this manner. The history of sign language cannot therefore claim for itself the origins of all spoken language, but its roots do extend farther back then most people would imagine. TIMELINE 5th century B.C.-- According to the American Sign Language Dictionary on CD-ROM, the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates thought it perfectly logical for deaf people to communicate using their hands, heads, and other body parts, being naturally deprived of the use of their hearing. 4th century B.C.-- Aristotle made the observation that people who are deaf are often also dumb, a statement that translated poorly into other languages, apparently causing the unwarranted association of deafness with stupidity and unteachability which lasted for many centuries to come. 1520-1584-- Pedro Ponce de Léon created a system of gestures to aid in the education of the deaf, working mainly with the de Velasco family of Spain. 1579-1629-- De Léon’s system was falsely credited to Juan Pablo Martin Bonet, who is often thought to be the father of sign language. 1680-- George Dalgreno developed a manual alphabet called the Didascalocophus. Dalgreno’s alphabet required two hands and assigned each letter a spot on the fingers or palm of the right hand, which were pointed to by the left index finger or thumb. 1715-1780-- Jacob Rodriguez Pereira is credited with spreading de Léon’s alphabet across Europe, adapting it slightly to incorporate thirty handshapes which corresponded to sounds. Late 18th century-- Up to this point in history, any attempts to educate the deaf were done on a small, private scale-- both de Léon and Pereira instructed children of noble families (where recessive genes tended to appear). This tendency changed with the creation of a National Institution for Deaf-Mutes in France, one of the first schools to attempt instruction of the deaf. The Abbé de l’Epée, the founder of the French Institute, thought that the simple series of handshapes already in common use by the deaf (known as Old French Sign Language, or OFSL) could be modified to use "correct" French grammar. L’Epée advocated the usage of affixes and created a system that essentially reproduced spoken French with the hands. 1793-- William Thornton, an American, wrote an article calling attention to the fact that there were no schools for deaf children in America, almost two hundred years since the landing of the Pilgrims. 1808-- The Abbé Sicard, l’Epée’s successor, who preferred OFSL and its lack of traditional French grammar, compiled a two-volume dictionary of handsigns. 1815-- Thomas Gallaudet, an American, went to Europe with the hopes of learning a method of teaching deaf children. He studied at the National Institute for Deaf-Mutes under Laurent Clerc (1785-1869). 1817-- Clerc and Gallaudet founded the Connecticut Asylum for the Education and Instruction of Deaf and Dumb Persons in West Hartford, Connecticut (now known as the American School of the Deaf). This was the first permanent public American school for the deaf. Clerc was America’s first deaf teacher of the deaf, and is responsible for bringing OFSL to America, where it would play a large part in the development of American Sign Language. (Sixty percent of ASL signs come from OFSL.) 1853-- The New England Gallaudet Association of the Deaf was founded to address concerns of education of deaf children, discrimination, and a general lack of public understanding about deafness. 1864-- The National Deaf-Mute College (now Gallaudet University) was founded by Gallaudet’s son Edward, who was fluent in ASL as well as English. The school was authorized by Abraham Lincoln to confer college degrees. Women were first admitted to the college in 1887. (By comparison, Middlebury College began accepting women in 1883.) 1864-- Bernard Engelsman, a teacher from Vienna, founded the first pure oral school in America (teaching speech instead of sign), which later became known as the New York Institution for the Improved Instruction of Deaf Mutes. 1880-- An international convention of educators of the deaf met in Milan, Italy. They outlawed the use of sign language for educational purposes, despite the protests of the 5 Americans present. 1880s-- The founding of the National Deaf-Mute College (and other schools for the deaf) represented a major step in the legitimization of sign language as an accepted means of communication. However, despite Gallaudet’s work, sign was deemed inappropriate and was replaced by the oral method (speaking and lip-reading). Alexander Graham Bell was one of the oral method's biggest proponents, claiming that deaf people should not be allowed to marry other deaf or hearing impaired persons, as their genes would perpetuate deafness. This marked the beginning of a period commonly known as the "Dark Ages", when sign language was not taught, and was considered inappropriate. 1950s-- William Stokoe, a professor at Gallaudet University became interested in the use of sign language among students. His book, Sign Language Structure, examined sign language and showed that it stands up to the "tests" of a language, with its own grammar, sentance structure, etc. Sign finally began to reemerge as a legitimate language. 1960s-- Total Communication, the idea that deaf students can learn from a combination of sign language and oral methods (speech and lip-reading) emerged and was embraced as a new philosophy of teaching. 1967-- founded. Performances include both speaking and signing actors, who work together to perform for mixed deaf and hearing audiences. 1980-- Closed Captioning was available for the first time on television

pollyQuestion #1: http://www.funbrain.com/signs/index.html Question #2: I thought it interesting that Aristotle developed a manual alphabet that had each letter correspond to a spot on the fingers or palm of the right hand that would be pointed to by the left index finger or thumb; he called it Didascalocophus. How crazy and confusing!

AmandaIn America the Great Plains Indians developed a fairly extensive system of signing, but this was more for intertribal communication than for deaf people, and only vestiges of it remain today. However, it is interesting to note some similarities existing between Indian sign language and the present system. Interactive site http://commtechlab.msu.edu/sites/aslweb/browser.htm

Emmahttp://42explore.com/signlang.htm http://babel.uoregon.edu/yamada/guides/asl.html http://www.geocities.com/mistre55/ What is American Sign Language? American Sign Language (ASL) is a complete, complex language that employs signs made with the hands and other movements, including facial expressions and postures of the body. It is the first language of many deaf North Americans, and one of several communication options available to deaf people. ASL is said to be the fourth most commonly used language in the United States. 4th century B.C.-- Aristotle made the observation that people who are deaf are often also dumb, a statement that translated poorly into other languages, apparently causing the unwarranted association of deafness with stupidity and unteachability which lasted for many centuries to come.
