Description
This research delves into the pioneering work of Edward Miner Gallaudet, particularly focusing on his utilization of measurement signs within sign literacy. The study explores a significant archival video featuring Gallaudet from 1910, shedding light on his contributions to the development of sign language in educational contexts. Furthermore, it examines the incorporation of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) lexicon within sign languages, emphasizing the importance of bridging linguistic gaps in academic and community settings. The research seeks to uncover methodologies to effectively share and disseminate this specialized lexicon within the deaf community and academic spheres. By analyzing Gallaudet's approach to measurement signs and their implications for sign literacy, this study aims to contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of linguistic accessibility in STEM fields and foster inclusive learning environments for individuals with diverse communication needs.
