I skimmed the article quickly...I know some people really do like Cued Speech...even in the Netherlands, I remember one time I visited a school for the Deaf there (near Amsterdam) and they were using Cued Speech - that was around 1983 - So it has had some success with "speech reading".... in several countries I believe. You certainly explained it correctly - Cued Speech helps the guessing game of lip reading - In Denmark they have another system called the "MundHaand System", the "Mouth-Hand System", which was originally invented by Forchammer in the early 1900's. And that Mouth-Hand System has influenced the fingerspelling styles in Denmark...at least my understanding is that the Mouth-Hand System was used instead of fingerspelling at times, so it was used in the middle of a real Danish Sign Language conversation, blended into DSL. Has Cued Speech blended at all with ASL? -- Val ;-) ----------------------------- Valerie Sutton SignWritingSite: https://www.SignWriting.org To Post A Message To The SW List: SignWriting List Archives: https://www.egroups.com/group/sw-l |
