Cette épisode est la troisième, et la dernière, dans une petite série à propos des langues des signes. J’ai commencé en Ecosse avec les professeurs Jemina Napier et Graham Turner et l’histoire de la British Sign Language Scotland Act. Après, j’a rencontré Laura Schwengber en Allemagne, ou elle invite les sourds de vivre la musique que, normalement, ils peuvent pas entendre. Et bien voilà, maintenant, on conclut la série en France avec Stéphan Barrère, qui nous parle de son parcours personnel et de la vie d’hier et d’aujourd’hui des sourds en France. Bonne écoute !

Sign of the times I - The Story of the BSL (Scotland) Bill
20 February 2018 | 45 mins 39 secs
sign-language
This episode is part of a mini-series on sign language interpreting, a topic I have become increasingly fascinated by in recent years. In the same time, sign language interpreting has moved more into public awareness, including within our profession. AIIC, the international association of conference interpreters, now has members working with sign language. The European Parliament has become involved, as you heard in episode 28 of LangFM, about the EUsigns conference. And more and more countries are upgrading the status of their national sign languages.
