Ideologies and Attitudes toward Sign Languages: An Approximation
Krausneker, Verena
Sign Language Studies, v15 n4 p411-431 Sum 2015
Attitudes are complex and little research in the field of linguistics has focused on language attitudes. This article deals with attitudes toward sign languages and those who use them--attitudes that are influenced by ideological constructions. The article reviews five categories of such constructions and discusses examples in each one.
