As members of the Linguistics Department ourselves, our objective was to document and reflect on how individuals with various backgrounds have interacted with, experienced, influenced, or been affected by their affiliation with the Linguistics Department at Gallaudet. While acknowledging that we, as researchers, are part of the communities we investigate, this work was conducted in conjunction with our communities, following their lead to determine which knowledge to document and preserve.
The LING BING dataset is part of the Collections of ASL for Research and Documentation (CARD), which serves as both a research philosophy and a resource hub. We center community ownership of data, embrace language variation, and value the diversity and multiplicity of experiences within ASL communities. LING BING aligns with philosophies found in the Austin Principles of Data Citation, FAIR, and CARE.
We ask you to please treat each participant's contribution with respect and care. All of our videos are open access, which means they can be publicly viewed and shared. They are licensed as CC BY-NC-SA 4.0, which means you may share and adapt them, but they may not be used for profit and may only be used with credit to our project.
