brief history of language through signs ...

"... hands that move safer and sent into the air,

taking shape and appearance,

painted figures that seem invisible and occupy spaces,

changing faces, marked by a thousand words, eyes wide open,

s empre alert and attentive ... "

Returning to address issues related to sign language I think is interesting and essential to address a short historical excursus to come then to see some curiosity.

The gestural communication of deaf people has been known since antiquity, but is beginning to be studied from a linguistic point of view only since the '60s. The researcher William Stokoe was the first to demonstrate that this form of communication is not a simple gesture, but a true language , a visual language with its own vocabulary and its grammar, able to express any message.

One of the most common clichés continues to be the belief that it can be universal. As with oral languages, sign language, in reality, it differs from country to country and within each country can still find various dialectal forms.
spoken thus: Langue des Signes Français
(LSF)
American Sign Language (ASL)
Brithis Sign Language (BSL)
Italian Sign Language (LIS), etc. ..

curious attempt by the World Federation of the Deaf who in 1975 published a book "Gestuno" containing a list of signs "international". The goal was to create a sort of sign language shared global use in meetings and exchanges international.

Subsequently the use of sign language in education was finally banned. This meant that the signs, in Italy, not only differ from region to region but from city to city and even from school to school where the children used sign language in secret during breaks in their dormitories or at home (in the case of deaf parents or relatives).

Only in the last thirty years' in Italy recommenced studies of sign language, deaf people have begun to recover consapevolezzache that theirs is a real language through which they can interact with each other, communicate intentions and emotions, and transmit culture, knowledge, values \u200b\u200band art from generation to generation.
