I am making a short film/documentary as part of my university degree, exploring how profoundly deaf people think if they do not know what words sound like.
We all talk to ourselves in our mind and sort of hear words when we think, but how do deaf people do this? Do you think in sign language? Or do you see words in your head, or lips speaking. Also how you dream..?

I would appreciate any information, forgive me if this has already been discussed.

Also, if anyone would like to take part in my documentary to give a short interview i would appreciate it. Anybody near or around London would be great.

Thanks for all your help

I would think it would be easier to ask people in person these questions and you would also get to learn some sign language talking to a person face to face! You can learn more from a person this way.

I don't think we have very many members from London. Did you try asking on an English board?
 
Are you referring to London, Ontario (Canada) or London, England (Great Britain) or where is in London, eh? :hmm:
 
If it's in London, England, there is plenty of deaf people about.... try Ouch, message board. (forum board for British disabled/deaf/blind people)
 
Isn't Great Britain's name the United Kingdom?
I would guess one can't think in ASL/BSL unless one knows it. I don't know if one dreams in what language-who keeps track of what they dream?
