And does this include people who don't have hearing loss?

And I have yet to meet (personally, that is) a deaf person who isn't culturally Deaf. But you included hard-of-hearing people, and they are usually steered into the hearing culture because of their partial ability to hear.

There are always exceptions to the rule.

I have met a few (truly deaf not in deaf culture) over my lifetime. I used to have a boyhood friend (almost four decades ago) who mother was deaf (no hearing whatsoever). She even worked for the federal gov't as a supervisor. She did not know sign (she refused to use it) and grew up oral. When she spoke it was decent for one who couldn't hear.

I would have to agree with Boult about the culturally deaf are not that numerous. Just saying 30 million deaf including HOH is ten percent of the USA population. I see people with HAs and (rarely a couple of CIs) all the time. I don't see what you call culturally deaf that often. Actually, the only place I do (see such) in my travels is at my church where we have a small group.
 
GLOSS and the Department of Linguistics are proud to announce our nextcolloquium of the year, Tuesday, May 23rd. PLEASE NOTE THE SPECIAL TIME AND LOCATION: 4pm in MacKenzie 240A. This week we have a visiting scholar from the University of California, Berkeley, Dr. Marlon Kuntze.

His talk will be followed by a dinner from 6-8, although exact details have yet to be arranged. More information about the dinner will follow shortly.
In my work I attempt to examine how deaf children learn a written language without ever knowing its spoken form, how their knowledge of ASL helps with the development of reading skills, and where ASL, written English, and literacy may intersect with one another. I also argue that literacy is more than merely achieving skills with written language. Instead, literacy should be appraised as a cognitive stance that is required in certain communicative contexts related to processing and producing language regardless of the mode.

Currently I am investigating how opportunities for cognitively-engaging dialogue in ASL may help lay the groundwork for deaf children's acquisition of written English through the process of learning to read. In my work, I made a distinction between language knowledge and literacy-related skills in language. Two examples of literacy-related skills in language are as follows: ability to think about content in an analytical mode; ability to communicate or process information about content that is temporally and spatially removed from the context. I am interested in examining a relationship between exposure to literacy-related use of language in ASL and the ability to read and write.

In constructing a model of literacy I tried to break out of the notion that literacy is associated with the way language is used in writing. I am trying to examine how ASL may vary between the literary use of ASL and the academic use of ASL. Discourses ranging from literary to academic and to colloquial use of the language vary in the extent to which the analogical and symbolic bases of communication manifest themselves. I found Gee's (1991) distinction between primary and secondary discourses useful for sorting what counts as literacy and what does not count. Gee suggests that literacy concerns skills in using secondary discourses.

Lastly, I have been reviewing the literature on visual literacy and found that it made an interesting contribution to my effort in model building. Communication through a visual medium such as drawing or film represents the most analogical possible mode of communication while writing represents the most symbolic possible mode of communication. The quest to understand literacy should entail an examination of the full continuum of human communication with analogical representation on one end and symbolic representation on the other.

What's the difference with Jesus coming to heal your deafness - how is that more accepting of your deafness?

Why are people who wear hearing aids and CIs not accepting of their deafness compared to those who would be healed by Jesus?

Are people in wheelchairs less accepting of their condition because they use devices as opposed to waiting for healing from Jesus?

I don't think there is anything wrong with using devices to make your life easier. It doesn't mean you don't accept that you aren't deaf. I think the problem is more that other people don't accept that they are deaf!

:gpost: I agree!

I am hearing, but this struck a cord with me. I'm wheelchair bound, and I have been most of my life. I really hate it when people try to push their own agendas on others. Being healed by God is a very personal thing for someone, and I don't think we have a right to judge for someone what is good for them. If we are healed by God, wonderful, but if we're not, that's okay, too. We should accept ourselves for who we are. Afterall, we are all unique!

Gasp! I knew something fishy about you after all you debated with me so hard in my topic here. I found that you have said in your own words aloud in other topic. Wow! I thought two hearing aids helps you a lot but it is not. :) Boy, it must be so hard for you as I believe it s really hard for those Deaf children from the start. ;)

Thank you so much for saying it aloud. Now you can understand why you couldnt fool me that easily. ;) And you blew it.

Thats why ASL make the difference for us Deaf people and Hearing people too. ;) That's UNITY in our diverse world not hearing world only.

That's why I strongly believe honest is the best policy. ;)

You need culturally Deaf friends. Then you'll start to understand.

However, you're never going to get any with your pro-hearing attitude.

Ah shoot.... so reading "Mask of Benevolance" doesn't qualify me for a Deaf Culture Membership.... Bummer.
Sorry, but I read it in English since I couldn't find the sign version....

great comeback! (still swatting at that pesky gnat :smash: )

Reading a book like that isn't going to make you an expert on Deaf Culture. Besides, if you're trying to "prove" that Deaf culturists in the USA are ASL-only, you're not getting anywhere because these forums are all in English and they all read and write English. English isn't only an oral language. It is a written one, too.

Whatever. As much as I'd like to continue this battle of wits with you, greema, you're obviously unarmed.

Besides, if you're trying to "prove" that Deaf culturists in the USA are ASL-only, ... I am...how exiting... how did you come to that conclusion? I missed it myself!

Which actually is a interesting statement.
Question now is - since you brought it up -

How many Deaf people are not here because they cannot write english correctly? Not that there's a need for it - I understand the message anyhow. But still... how many do we not see???
