Honored to be mentioned alongside scholars I admire: @naomicaselli.bsky.social, Padden, Mayberry, Chen Pichler, and more! www.science.org/content/arti... "Imperfect sounds: Cochlear implants give deaf kids unprecedented access to sound. But insisting they avoid using sign language may be risky."

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.
