THE FINNISH ASSOCIATION OF THE DEAF • Questionnaire question: 7.7.2 Does your country have a sign language dictionary? • Why is a dictionary important? – For giving status to the language – it exists -> you can get legal recognition of the language. • Ulrike Mosel (2006: 68): In community language work among indigenous people of spoken languages a dictionary ranks highest on their list of priorities • SL dictionaries: – Who have been involved compiling it? – Does it give a fair picture of the SL? – How is the visual language presented? In still drawings or pictures? In live form? – Who is it made for?
THE FINNISH ASSOCIATION OF THE DEAF • Wishes for the future for developing Sign Language Work: • Language Policy Programme (WFD Statement on the Unification of Sign Languages – Good!) • Handbook on Sign Language Work with guidelines, for not everybody to having to re-invent the wheel
