heey,

Zou iemand deze tekst(en) willen nakijken? Want ik ben echt heel slecht in talen dus ik zie niet wat ik fout doe. Het is een tekst voor een presentatie. Alvast heel erg bedankt! xx

Tekst 1 (van de 2) :

History of Sign Language.

Sign language has been around since the sixteenth century, but then it was very different.
It was more like a set of gestures for some things, but now it is a real language with grammatical structures and its own lexicon, because the people who used it changed it.

Charles-Michel de l’Epée has also been very important for the development of Sign Language. Charles-Michel de l’Epée, also known as the Father of the Deaf, was a Frenchman. He lived in the eighteenth century in Paris and he helped poor deaf people in Paris with communication. He did this because he had learned sign language from his two deaf sisters and because he had decided to dedicate his life to helping the deaf.

He came from a wealthy family, so he was able found a shelter for deaf people with his own money. Soon this shelter became a school for sign language. l’Epée also developed a complicated system of Sign Language, because he used many signs for one word if it had more than one interpretation.

It was for the first time that sign language had been actively taught and now could hearing people learn it too. Which made a huge difference to the deaf.

Now, most countries have their own version of sign language, because languages continue evolving.

International sign language does also exist, so deaf people could organize international events.

History of Sign Language.

Sign language has been around since the sixteenth century, but then at that time it was very different.
It was more like a set of gestures for some things, but now it is a real language with grammatical structures and its own lexicon, because the people who used it changed it.
Dat laatste stukje van de zin zou ik in een aparte zin zetten, zoiets: That's because the people using sign language have changed it. (of iets dergelijks)

Charles-Michel de l’Epée has also (hier zeg je 'also', maar wie nog meer was er belangrijk, dat zeg je nergens) been very important for the development of Sign Language. Charles-Michel de l’Epée, also known as the Father of the Deaf, was a Frenchman. He lived in the eighteenth century in Paris and he helped poor, deaf people in Paris with communication. He did this because he had learned sign language from his two deaf sisters and because he had decided to dedicate his life to helping the deaf.

He came from a wealthy family, so he was able to found set up a shelter for deaf people with his own money. Soon this shelter became a school for sign language. l’Epée also developed a complicated system of Sign Language which was rather complicated, because as he used many signs for one word if it had more than one interpretation.

It was for the first time that sign language had been actively taught and now could hearing people could learn it too. Which made a huge difference to the deaf.

Now, most countries have their own version of sign language, because languages continue evolving.

International sign language does also exist, so deaf people could can organize international events.


Ik heb het simpel gehouden.

dankje. =D

Oral language

First people wanted to learn apes oral language. But almost all of the experiments failed. Keith and Cathy Hayes where the most successful, their ape Viki could speak 4 words.

Vocal chords?

Later there came more research and the scientists now thought that the vocal chords from apes were not build for speaking.


At the moment we still don’t know why apes can’t learn an oral language, but we know now that they can learn a sign language. So they are at least intelligent enough.

Washoe

Washoe was the first ape that learned sign language. The Gardners taught this chimpanzee sign language since his birth. In her presence, they used always sign language and they used also imitation and instrumental conditioning. It was very successful; Washoe used the learned words in a wide variety of contexts and she made spontaneously combinations of signs.

Loulis

One of the most remarkable developments in this research occurred when Washoe adopted an infant named Loulis. For the next five years, no sign language was used by humans in Loulis' presence; however, Loulis still managed to learn over 50 signs from the other chimpanzees

Sarah

A year later, David Premack did an experiment with a different kind of language. He used plastic tokens that represented words. Sarah learned which word each token meant and she could read them as sentences or questions as they where put in a vertical line. And she could answer the questions the same way.

Koko
Now, you’ll see a video of a gorilla signing. This gorilla is Koko. Koko is taught by Francine Patterson and she has a big vocabulary; she knows around 1000 signs and she understands around 2000 English words. In this video you see Koko learning a new word.

thanks. =D

Ik vind trouwens dat de zinnen en woordkeuze wel iets beter kunnen, maar daar heb ik verder eigenlijk geen aandacht aan besteed ..
Again, niet op de woordkeuze e.d. gelet, alleen wat dingen verbeterd ..
