Honored to be mentioned alongside scholars I admire: @naomicaselli.bsky.social, Padden, Mayberry, Chen Pichler, and more! www.science.org/content/arti...

On #InternationalMotherLanguageDay, I'm highlighting the 227 sign languages listed in Glottolog 5.1: glottolog.org/resource/lan...
I'd also like to point out that many deaf children do not have access to their national/local deaf community sign language: this is a linguistic human rights emergency.

Lovin’ this #MusicVideo from Handspeak in #SouthKorea.

I don’t know Korean Sign Language and don’t have a clue what’s being signed but this music video makes me want to get up and dance around the room.

Join me!
