21、of Sign LanguageIt comes as a surprise to many people to learn that the history and origins of American Sign Language are a bit vague and shrouded in mystery. It begins, though, with a young Thomas Gallaudet, soon after he graduated from Yale University. He was commissioned to help teach Alice Cogsw

22、ell, the deaf daughter of a wealthy local doctor. Gallaudet was interested in learning the best method to help young Alice, so in 1815 he traveled to Europe to study communication among deaf people.In France, Gallaudet was invited to study at a school for deaf students. He soon met Laurent Clerc, a

23、deaf sign language teacher, and recruited Clerc to help develop deaf education in the United States. In 1817, the two founded the American School for the Deaf in Hartford, Connecticut. The school was the countrys first school created solely for deaf students. During the following years, the idea spr

24、ead and many other schools in other states were organized.Several natural forms of sign language existed prior to the founding of the American School for the Deaf, but there wasnt one standardized form of signing for deaf people. Laurent Clerc began teaching American students the form of French Sign

25、 Language with which he was familiar. However, many of the students at the new school were already using their own, unique form of sign language that had independently developed in their communities. Over time, and with extensive use, the various forms eventually evolved into what we now know as Ame

26、rican Sign Language (ASL).In 1864, President Lincoln signed into law a bill that established a national college for deaf students in Washington, D.C. Thomas Gallaudet served as the first president of the college, which had eight students during its first year. In 1954, the school was renamed Gallaud

27、et College, and it remains the only liberal arts college for deaf people in the world.Characteristics of Sign LanguageSign language is almost exclusively based on easily decipherable hand motions that represent letters and spoken words. Since deaf people rely heavily on their sense of sight, this me

28、thod of communication is logical. Body language is extremely important in ASL, and subtle movements of the eyebrows, mouth, or fingers often indicate connotations that are typically represented by tone of voice in spoken language.It is important to note that sign languages are not dependent on spoke

29、n languages. In this way, American Sign Language is not simply a version of English. Interestingly, there is no universal form of sign language that is readily understood by deaf people around the world. Indeed, though people in the United States, Great Britain, and Australia all speak English, Amer

30、ican Sign Language, British Sign Language, and Australian Sign Language are distinctly different and speakers of each form would not be able to easily communicate with one another.Just as spoken language continue to develop and adapt to the changing world, so too does sign language. American Sign La

31、nguage continues to add words, such as terms for new technology, to its vocabulary. More than ever before, ASL has become much more prominent in everyday life. Many speeches, concerts, and public events have professional ASL interpreters. They help deaf people enjoy many events that they would other

32、wise miss out on.American Sign Language, like all sign languages and like all languages, is a living thing. It is used to communicate with the world and express personal thoughts and ideas. It is continually growing, changing, and developing. It is used by deaf people, and it is used by people who can hear. Its benefits are numerous, and the opportunities it rewards users are endless.41.Who is credited with laying the foundation for American Sign Language?A. Thomas Gallaudet.B. Alice Cogswell.C.
