As Kiparsky mentions, it "is not spoken of as an independent language until after the Russian Revolution of 1917" when the people of Byelorussia consciously declared themselves "‘independent’ and created for themselves a literary language based on the south-western dialects of the Minsk area" (18-19). Much of what we know about the origins of the Russian language is rooted in the efforts of historians and linguists to delve into the mystery of the past. linguistics.byu.edu /classes/ling450ch/reports/russian.html   (2753 words)

Terralingua -- Sign Languages, and How the Deaf (and other Sign language users) are Deprived of their Linguistic Human Rights. But Sign language often has the same type of ideological status for them as the mother tongue with supporters of transitional bilingual education, i.e., it is used as a tool to make the transition to the dominant language easier and its full learning and use is not seen as a linguistic human right. A "regional or minority language" for the purposes of the European Charter requires that this language be "different from the official language(s) of the State; it does not include either dialects of the official language(s) of the State or the languages of migrants" (Article 1 (a) ii). ...the Sign Languages are connected with a handicap and not with the membership to a group, ethnically, religiously or linguistically different from the majority of the population of a state. www.terralingua.org /DeafHR.html   (6711 words)

American Sign Language: Fact and Fancy Sufficient information about ASL (and other natural sign languages) has been collected by linguists to show that its grammar and the rules for the formation of signs are as complex as those of spoken languages and that there are no inherent limitations on what it can express. There are still many spoken languages in the world that have never been used for modern scientific or technological subjects because the people who speak these languages are not interested in these fields, or else, because another language is used to deal with them. One of the most popular myths about sign language is that although ASL can express concrete concepts, it is restricted in its ability to deal with abstract ideas. facstaff.gallaudet.edu /harry.markowicz/asl/myth5.html   (1286 words)
