Spanish poster of the film “Sorda”. Young parents and their baby are sitting in the grass. The father is leaning against a tree and holding up the baby. Both are looking at the mother, who is holding eye contact with her baby while signing.
(English translation) Today is the German theatrical release date for Sorda, the story of a deaf woman and a hearing man expecting their first child, and facing the challenges that this entails. We were lucky enough to already watch this wonderful film last […]

This shows a basic way to negate a statement in Irish Sign Language (and it works for quite a few other sign languages too!). Note that the furrowed brow isn't always needed — it's just a very basic, firm negation. #Deaf #Deafness #ISL #IrishSignLanguage #SignLanguages

The thick book and thin book meme: Under a picture of the thick book on the left, the caption reads ‘on verb directionality in signed languages’. Under a picture of the thin book on the right, caption reads ‘on verb directionality in sign languages, minus the agreement debate’
We have two copies of this fantastic book in our collection: one in #Filipino, one in #English!
I love the idea of #FilipinoSignLanguage & other #SignLanguages as hands dancing!

A 3x4 grid of seemingly academic papers where only the titles are legible. Top header reads "Types of sign language paper" and the (joke) paper titles read: •That one paper non-SL linguists ever cite (if any) •Commentary: revisiting reanalyses of so-called verb agreement - the very final word •Generic handbook chapter published 3 times already •I-co-ni-ci-ty!!! •SLs do this thing (actually we tested hearing gesturers) •Something something something variation •We wasted time making yet another sign translation glove •We developed a new transcription system! You'll all use it from now on, right? Guys? •Frogs, dogs and dangerous things: a corpus study •Let me take these terms and redefine them completely lmao •Indicating an anaphoric real space tobek blend R-locus location index in signing space •Yes, but is it "linguistic"?
Repost of my old "Types of Sign Language Paper".
