Signed Language by Brita Bergman - Essay Example

I live in a society where the deaf exists and so it would be prudent if I knew the language too and not assume that it is meant only for the deaf. I have had experiences with the deaf where I was defeated to respond to the mode of communication, and probably they needed my help about an issue urgently. It is also true to note that the article’s definition of the signs, in particular, the hands, are one area that I have sought to know more about and so this text-only serves me a lot good in expounding my knowledge base and usage of the same.

Consequently, the mentioning of a dictionary about sign language is consistent with my thoughts and desires that if only I could get the dictionary then I could enhance my relationship with the deaf in my society (Brentari 45). As of now, I have no close bond between me and them due to communication barriers. This bonding in my view will reduce thoughts of isolation and neglect of the deaf.
