So Faraz, where can people keep up with you? What are you making at the moment? What's coming out next?
Faraz OsmanGUEST
52:10
next week we are filming our we make a dating show in BSL the first ever dating show in sign language we are going into the record of that next week I am both incredibly excited and I'm in that kind of fear zone I'm a bit like this will be fine right it'll be absolutely fine but we've the team have been doing incredible work around that we're recording that next week our CBB show what's in your plant pot is on air now the next batch of episodes drop this week I've got some kids books out I'm very proud of that.
Faraz OsmanGUEST
52:39
I launched some kids' books, so that came out a few weeks ago.
Faraz OsmanGUEST
52:44
Sort of an
Ghazaleh YoushaniHOST
10:08
I think one of the things that is, is so great about your book is you look at spoken language, written language, but you also, you also speak to all forms.
Ghazaleh YoushaniHOST
10:20
You also speak to sign language as well.
Karen StollznowGUEST
10:23
Right.
Ghazaleh YoushaniHOST
10:23
And that's the bit that caught me on my blind spot, if I'm being completely transparent, because then you sort of start to think, thinking of language simply as words i- in, in the, in, in the sort of common sense, if you will, misses something fundamental, surely.
Karen StollznowGUEST
10:45
Yes, so absolutely sign language is language, and, uh, that can often be forgotten, I think, by a lot of people.
Karen StollznowGUEST
10:52
If you don't speak a sign- if you haven't learned a sign language, then you can, you can tend to have assumptions about and to think, "Oh, maybe it's just gesturing.
Karen StollznowGUEST
11:01
Maybe there's just finger spelling and, and that it's, it's very simplistic." Uh, and so there are lots of, I think, kind of naive views about sign language, but, but it absolutely is language, and it, uh, has its own grammar, and w- we were talking about babbling earlier when-
Ghazaleh YoushaniHOST
11:19
Yeah
SafinaPANELIST
78:15
I'd say, what languages do you speak?
ZeminelPANELIST
78:17
I speak, uh, Common, Draconic, Dwarvish, and Giant, and Sign Language.
SafinaPANELIST
78:24
This isn't a language that you recognize, but as she's speaking to you, it is causing you the most immense headache.
SafinaPANELIST
78:31
I need you to make a wisdom saving throw for me, please.
Dru JohnsonHOST
17:33
Uh, but [chuckles] in the Korean ones he's Korean, in Japanese ones he's Japanese.
Dru JohnsonHOST
17:38
Um, so d- do you mean something like that is going on when the Bible is translated into these various languages? Is that like a visual analogy, or is there something else going on when we're translating the, the text of scripture into these various languages and media? I noticed on the app, which we'll talk about in a separ- second more fully, um, you also have even sign language on there.
Dru JohnsonHOST
18:00
So, uh-
Jost ZetzscheGUEST
18:01
Right.
Jost ZetzscheGUEST
18:05
So, um, let me answer the f- second question first and then the first.
Dru JohnsonHOST
18:08
Okay.
Jost ZetzscheGUEST
18:09
Um, so sign language, we, we do have [clears throat] a lot of sign language, which also is a fairly late discovery that we had about four or five years ago, I realized that, that, you know, there's 400 some sign languages, um, official sign languages in the world, and there has been a real push to translate, um, the Bible into these different sign languages.
Jost ZetzscheGUEST
18:33
And there's actually only one sign language, American Sign Language, which has a complete Bible.
Annie MurrellHOST
30:37
I want one.
Annie MurrellHOST
30:38
And her daughter can translate for her because she does know British Sign Language.
speaker_3UNKNOWN
30:42
Mm-hmm.
Annie MurrellHOST
30:43
and so it's not like she can't communicate exactly what she wants and yet still we have this man going no no i know like she she told me i mean she didn't tell me with her words but like i knew what she wanted which yes this is the villain saying that but then that's what she ends up doing and she's happy and that is what she wanted so it's okay again like if if it's all a metaphor like that's what the metaphor is saying to me frankly Oh, yeah, and it happens right after he decides not to rape her.
Annie MurrellHOST
33:49
Of some kind.
Annie MurrellHOST
33:50
Yeah.
Annie MurrellHOST
33:50
Were you going to say something about the sign language? Yes.
Ryan SaylorHOST
33:53
So that's a detail that I really like in the film.
Lou RosenfeldHOST
11:31
Okay, so I just want to jump back.
Lou RosenfeldHOST
11:33
I mean, that's fascinating, but I'm still lingering on what almost sounded like a shorthand for a dance movement and immediately made me think of sign language.
Lou RosenfeldHOST
11:47
And I know we're not talking about sign language, but I'm wondering if there is some substantial overlap or if like, is there an actual encoded language of gesture? That, you know, you cover in your book, I believe, to some degree.
Dane DeSutterGUEST
12:04
It's a great question.
Dane DeSutterGUEST
12:06
And obviously, sign language is a very kinetic thing.
Dane DeSutterGUEST
12:08
We use our bodies to do to sign words, letters.
Dane DeSutterGUEST
12:13
But really, sign language is what it says in the name.
Dane DeSutterGUEST
12:16
It is a language.

Aussi, nous pensons à une grosse portion qui doit être allouée à la formation pour être capable de promouvoir la communication et la technologie.
Riad HullemuthSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
0:36
La langue des signes qui est l'outil principal de communication, doit être une réalité dans tous les milieux.
Riad HullemuthSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
0:41
Même dans le parlement, nous demandons qu'il y ait l'introduction de la langue des signes au parlement, les plateformes médiatiques, pour qu'ils aient aussi une personne qui est sourde et malentendante, doit avoir accès à toute l'information, afin de pouvoir comprendre ce qui peut se passer dans le monde et lui-même doit pouvoir communiquer.
Riad HullemuthSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER

Aussi, l'employabilité, il y a pourtant que nous pouvons avoir plus de formations pour permettre une transition entre l'éducation et l'employabilité des personnes sourdes et malentendantes.
Riad HullemuthSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
1:04
Et aussi, j'ai une pensée spéciale pour les implants cochléaires.

Steph FosterHOST
