Abstract

The Special Thematic Session on Language Accessibility for the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing focuses on two separate groups of individuals – the hard-of-hearing and the deaf. Both groups have faced barriers to language access, but they have different perspectives and priorities. Those who are hard-of-hearing still use a spoken language as their preferred language even though they have experienced a hearing loss. Those who identify as deaf often do not use a spoken language but a sign language as their preferred language. This session contains a wide range of papers that illustrate different aspects of using language technologies in various environments. Studies show the possibilities for improvements in higher education, captioning, and sign language interpretation, all with the common purpose of fostering better access to language.

Fußnoten
1
We follow the newly (re-)introduced convention of referring to deaf signers with lower-case d (Napier and Leeson 2016), (Kusters et al. 2017). Previously, (upper-cased) Deaf was used to describe members of the linguistic community of sign language users, while deaf was used to describe the audiological state of a hearing loss (Morgan and Woll 2002).
 
2
A spoken language is a language that is not signed, whether it is represented as speech or text.
