Status of Sign Languages

[Jens Heßmann]

Hi Barbara,

for European sign languages there is a useful recent EUD publication: http://www.eud.eu/EUD_Book-i-293.html
This may also interest you: http://www.eud.eu/EUD_Sign_Language-i-239.html

There an earlier Council of Europe publication on "The status of sign language in Europe", too: http://book.coe.int/EN/ficheouvrage.php?PAGEID=36&lang=EN&produit_aliasid=1916

Best, Jens

WFD's page on Sign Languages is "under construction" . I am working on developing ideas for possible student projects related to language rights.
