What is the importance of sign language for the Deaf community?
What will be an ideal response?
The answer should not focus on merely the communicative functions of sign language.
It should also elaborate on the fact that this form of communication is what unifies the Deaf
community. It is, in fact, this form of communication that defines a subset of deaf persons as a
"culture." A strong answer will also point out the resistance of the Deaf community to the oralist
approach to education as well as other kinds of attempts to correct their "defect."
