@jmhenner @ColinPhillips2 I agree. It absolutely should have been reviewed by deaf scholars. Too many hearing researchers think they can publish anything they want without us despite this being the age of inclusivity and diversity. Too bad the field won’t learn. Petition and write an open letter.

[Daniel Maier @DanielMaierLin]

@jmhenner @ColinPhillips2 Are you saying you’re starting a petition?

It was really, really awesome working with @DanielMaierLin, @_noahbuchholz, and some wonderful students to write up the section on ASL in this homepage story. 👏

“For me, this moment is a validation. This is a treatment of a sign language on the same level of other world languages." — @DanielMaierLin

Expansion of the ASL program is part of a focus on disability, accessibility and inclusion across the University. https://t.co/0GdAkmIWGB

@jmhenner For some reason, https://t.co/KawKeYfB7z keep asking me to review articles on integrative deep machine learning yadda yadda… deep machine learning bots can review the articles themselves.

Thread. I use two cochlear implants to hear. I’m also an audiologist. I map CIs, including my own. I’ve activated other people’s CIs, seen their initial reactions, and accompanied them on their journeys with adjusting to this technology. Here’s why I can’t stand these videos:

@jahochcam Please add my name to the list too.

@jonschlinkert @E_Messily @LaymansLinguist @__anp__ @ryanlepic By the way, name dropping Chomsky doesn’t necessarily make your argument valid. Whether you learn generative approaches (Chomsky) or cognitive approaches (Tomasello) or others, a significant amount of study still is required to understand and argue on theories of acquisition.

@jonschlinkert @E_Messily @LaymansLinguist @__anp__ @ryanlepic Deaf here too. PhD Candidate in Lingusitics (focus is on language acquisition). MS in Deaf Education (focus on language planning). I have to agree with @E_Messily that there’s a big difference between teaching baby signs or whatever it is that is used.

[Daniel Maier @DanielMaierLin]

@jonschlinkert @E_Messily @LaymansLinguist @__anp__ @ryanlepic that typically precedes metalinguistic understanding of languages.

[Daniel Maier @DanielMaierLin]

@jonschlinkert @E_Messily @LaymansLinguist @__anp__ @ryanlepic This isn’t to say that they won’t benefit from languages in different modalities. But it is very hard to imagine that they have ASL knowledge without continuing prolonged contact with members of the ASL community. At best, they had contextual pairing of signs or gestures

[Daniel Maier @DanielMaierLin]

@jonschlinkert @E_Messily @LaymansLinguist @__anp__ @ryanlepic I think it is awesome that you’re teaching your children signs, whether it be baby signs or actual bonafide ASL. @E_Messily makes a point that it takes a long time to learn a language. I could say they are learning ASL but this is hardly complete.

@MarieCoppola68 Also, Philadelphia is a great city to visit. Especially as your AirBNB checklist item. However, if your intention is to challenge legitimate votes, then look at this article first. https://t.co/0tVCjIKnYC

@MarieCoppola68 I wish I was there in Philly but my sister was. I give you the Philly Philly.

@MarieCoppola68 Waiting patiently...

@MichaelSkyer Narratives work for me. That feels like a more encapsulating term and one that I often see come up in the discussion of various critical theories.

[Daniel Maier @DanielMaierLin]

@jahochcam Yes, I’m also working on presentations for #HDLS14. I’m curious with what software people prefer to use to add captions to their videos?

[Daniel Maier @DanielMaierLin]

@DeafmemesExe I tried this and tragically failed with both hands. Both pinkies do not want to be alone.

[Daniel Maier @DanielMaierLin]

@DoctorJRo Hmm good question. You got me there. Most of my work is on transcribing or coding signed languages. The coding of visually recognizable yet non linguistic bodily functions isn’t that well explored in my field of study.
