referring to Standard English (or French, Hindi,); Sign Languages

[Beth Simon]

(with apologies for cross-posting)

1. Do you both upper or only one upper when referring to a specific standard variety, e.g., S/s tandard English?

2.  Do you refer to ASL, BSL, etc., as a sign language, OR a signed language.

Please do not reply to the list, but to me

Thanks!
