At #TISLR15, Heidi and Kearsy presented their poster exploring the structure and use of noun phrases in BSL. Their research examines how noun phrases are constructed and function within the grammar of BSL, providing insights into its linguistic complexity. #SignLanguageResearch

Enlightening & timely lecture on “How is Sign Language?” by Prof @AdamCSchembri, warning of #languagedeprivation for #deaf children who are denied access to #signlanguage. Cochlear implants do not work for every child. Parents do not have to choose between speech or sign.

@RestIsPolitics @DCAL_UCL @sensecharity Of course, transcripts benefit everyone - they allow people to skim & also to re-read or search for quotes. And they enable search engines to index your content, which will increase your audience.

[Heidi Proctor @heproctor]

@RestIsPolitics Great to see your positive attitude to disability & inclusion in this week's podcast! Does your podcast have transcripts, to enable wider access including for deaf people? Would enable me to recommend interesting episodes to my deaf colleagues at @DCAL_UCL & @sensecharity.

Hi I am Kate Rowley, I work here @DCAL_UCL, as a researcher & currently I'm looking at BSL and reading comprehension in deaf children & young people from 4-18. We've recruited over 120 so far. We need more 16-18 yo. We've set up dates for drop ins at DCAL on Fridays (London).

[DCAL @DCAL_UCL]
