Sign language

About this book

"This book undertakes research into sign language planning and policy challenges with particular reference to South Africa. This is done against a global backdrop, thereby allowing for some comparative research and comment in an attempt to highlight best practice. It furthermore explores ways in which deaf learners' rights can possibly be protected through appropriate language policy and planning, in the same way that the rights of speakers of the eleven official languages are entrenched in the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa"--Page 13.
