SignWriting List December 5, 2001 Yes....It is my understanding that the term "Lengua de Seņas" is the choice of people living in Central and Latin America? But the Parkhurts explained to me long ago, that in Spain, the Madrid Deaf Community wants to be considered "Europeans" first and foremost. And since France and other countries use the term "Signe", the Madrid Deaf people chose to use the word "Signo", to fit with the rest of the European Community. So they say "Lengua de Signos" in Spain... At least that is my understanding - When someone says "Signos" I assume they are talking about signs in Spain... I am no expert on this, so correct me if I am wrong! -- Val ;-) Valerie Sutton SignWritingSite: https://www.SignWriting.org SignWriting List Archives: https://groups.yahoo.com/group/sw-l/ To post a message to the SW List: |
