LA comedian CJ Jones is a master storyteller in sign language. San Diego scientist Stephen McCullough studies the neurobiology of sign language.

Both are deaf. Sign language is revealing surprising insights into the evolution of all human languages in the brain. From finding the word on the 'tip of the finger' to the bilingual brains of speakers and signers - join two performers and two scientists with unique stories from the frontiers of deaf culture. This program won the 2010 Yooralla Media Award in the category: Radio - Best News, Feature or Documentary.

2. In less developed nations, such as Papua New Guinea, signers are often ostracized, with hearing individuals denying the existence of deaf relatives. As a researcher, this can make it difficult to find Deaf people and learn about their languages. In Nigeria deaf children are marginalized and underdeveloped, and their language is highly endangered.

The next festival will be in 2012. Organised by CJ Jones. Comments (16).

Me: 11 Sep 2010 3:21:13pm Dear Natasha Hearing your program today brought back memories of time spent during my school age years. For my final years at a High School I attended a unique institution having both day students as well as boarders. There were formal grounds around the buildings and a full time gardener was engaged to maintain them. On day during the recess I happened to be in the gardens when I noticed the gardener looking upwards to a building where a woman appeared through one of the upper level windows. I stood agog and with full be wondering at what I witnessing, silence other than back ground noises and two people frenetically engaged in sign language.

Their hands changing in shape with fingers popping up and then down again and every other configuration, how miraculous what a wonderful gift to those mis fortunate in life. There have been times since I have found something more than common speech in communication necessary, that I now regret not having taken the opportunity to learn sign language.

Regards Rick Huizing. Franko: 12 Sep 2010 10:57:37am Absolutely brilliant! A YouTube clip, transcript and audio download. Fascinating interview. I am an animator and understand that 70 -80% of communication is through expressions and body language. That is how we manipulate viewer emotions.

I have a deaf sibling and he is a brilliant photographer. All these visual things feed into communication. I find animating quite natural due to a life time of using signlanguage to communicate with my brother. People always comment on how animated we are when we communicate. Andrea McGinlay: 12 Sep 2010 2:13:28pm A fabulous program.

I am studying bilingualism this semester and appreciate the material your program has provided. Thank you Natasha Mitchell and your team.

Jim Wickham: 16 Sep 2010 3:03:30pm I am not professionally involved at all with deaf people or language. Nevertheless I found this programme utterly fascinating and insightful.

Deaf Access Films: 18 Sep 2010 3:53:08am Thank you for making this program accessible with the transcript (we hope you do that all the time!). Really appreciate the discussion with Dr McCullough, Professor Emmorey, and Dr Nicodemus. Very clear explanation about some of the the science of the brain and language. Good proof that Auslan, ASL, and other sign languages, are just as.real. as English, Japanese, Spanish - not just a bunch of hand signals. Same areas of our brains are in control for a signer as for a speaker of any other language. Chris W: 18 Sep 2010 1:06:28pm Thanks for another fascinating program, including the intriguing result that Broca & Wernicke's area proximity to aural/oral processing areas doesn't depend on the individual's sensory input.

Thanks to a blog I stumbled on last year, I want to add that Mr Jones' son is not alone in being bilingual at 3yrs. A subset of sign language is being taught by parents from the first year of life, enabling the kids to communicate instead of just screaming, even though pre-verbal. (I believe there's such a program being lead in Sydney at least.). Mary: 20 Sep 2010 3:56:36pm Excellent show.

This would make an excellent introduction to sign language for anyone, including students taking introductory linguistics. It's also great having the transcript and audio available for download. Greg Zeng: 24 Sep 2010 3:19:55am A zoologically ignorant program. All mammals rely mainly on non-verbal & paraverbal (no spoken words) communications. Semi-conscious, retarded, traumatic brain injured. speech-imapirment (like myself). Need ASL - one handed, to supplement our mammalian non-verbals.

The two-handed AU signing s no use to us. AU deaf people are often fluent in ASL, 'cos most adult deaf movies are in ASL. Ex-Director, People With Disabilities INC. Ex Area Governor, Toastmasters International. Tanya: 29 Sep 2010 1:37:50pm I think the author of the previous message appears to have missed a very clearly stated message in the story - signed languages are complete languages used by members of the deaf community and others. I am not sure, but I assume the author intended to convey the fact that he uses the one-handed fingerspelling alphabet from American Sign Language (ASL) as a support to body language and gesture, rather than comparing deaf people who use signed languages to animals.

I would contest the assertion that Australian deaf people are often fluent in ASL due to seeing movies in ASL. I watch movies in spoken French, but the most I can say in French is 'bonjour'.

I also suspect that Auslan – Australian Sign Language – will continue to use two hands to fingerspell regardless of how certain individuals who are not deaf feel about it. Deaf people have had enough of others judging their language, trying to obliterate it or trying to change it, to find it easy to take such comments without a degree of offence. Jacob Clarke: 03 Dec 2010 6:32:29pm I know I must be late in replying - better late than never. I just want to comment on your comment related to 'ASL' here 'The two-handed AU signing s no use to us. AU deaf people are often fluent in ASL, 'cos most adult deaf movies are in ASL.'

Like Danielle said earlier - NOT all of deaf Australians knows ASL, there is only handful of these people who has the knowledge of ASL, including myself, I am fluent in ASL & Auslan because I am deaf and I have travelled to america in the past. IN Australia, most of the deaf people mostly communicate in Australian Sign Language. Try and be more clear on your research next time.

danielle: 11 Oct 2010 10:06:10pm sorry but greg's not speaking from a position of knowledge. Most deaf people in australia in fact do NOT know ASL.

They might be able to converse in very basic ASL and many people know how to fingerspell one=handed (either irish or american) but that certainly doesn't mean they're fluent. Btw, fingerspelling is just a very, very small part of most sign languages.

Greg may well want to do some research into language before making the kind of comments he did (and i'm sorry,but i have to doubt his disability credentials if he's using words like 'retarded'). peter: 09 Feb 2011 12:47:35am really appreciate your doing transcript. Louise: 09 Mar 2011 1:43:03pm I have a deaf or hearing impaired student in my class and was excited to see the promo with a person signing. But you dont seem to have any signing on the site.

Could I suggest that you get someone to sign and post a video of this on your site. My student uses Auslan and is learning written English, but is not fluent in English to be able to read the text here. Allan: 03 Oct 2011 5:13:05am A very interesting and most enjoyable program indeed. I find the rapid repartee ofttimes from Natasha goes all-out to draw an immense amount of concatenative information from her guest interviewees. Full marks to Dr Brenda Nicodemus for her - what could only be described and interpreted as effortless - expertise in translating the signing of Dr Stephen McCullough. It's reminiscent of the process called 'staying behind' when one is deciphering fast morse code and calmly writing or typing it down.

Usually, beginners try to quickly write down each and every letter in a mad panic as it comes but the real experts listen to a sizeable portion of the message before they begin writing or typing and are still writing or typing well after the message has actually ceased sounding. One small point. CJ Jones actually did, quite clearly, ennunciate the model of his Mercedes car as an 'SEL' and not an 'SL'. The irony here is that the alphabetical letter 'e' is the most common of all the alphabetical letters in the English language, yet the transcriber miss'd it. This may lend itself to the old adage that familiarity breeds contempt!

Either that or the transcriber is predisposed to 'SLs' viz, S.ign L.anguage ha! when taking a letter, as it were ha!

That would possibly vex'plain it. I wonder if signers have the equivalent of the situation that arises with 'Ocker' speakers when they, the 'Ocker' speakers, ask without moving their lips of their friend or a new chum, 'Owyagoin'mate,alright?' This is always delivered as a brief and brusque barrage of sound with no interruption throughout, and is one of the most difficult sentences for a non-English first-language speaker to interpret. Towards the end of the transcript, Karen Emmorey actually said the word 'semantics' and not 'semiotics'. Solely because of Karen's American accent, it does, to a degree, and an untrained ear especially, sound like she was having a quid each way and pronounced 'semantics' as 'semiantics', but it doesn't stretch as far as being 'semiotics', inviting me to wonder if all of this confounding confabulation's conflation.is but a sign of the times!. Jade: 26 Sep 2012 4:21:13am Comments from Youtube. I would like to get in touch with Dr.

Stephen McCullough about his being an Aspie. I think it will give people who are dealing with the same disorder some hope. I find it fascinating that Dr. Stephen McCullough discusses eyebrows, but he does not really use his eyebrows at all. Please give him my contact information. Schizoid Personality Disorder would be more appropriate for Dr. Stephen McCullough. I have met him and known him for several years.

He met the criteria. People with schizoid personality disorder are often undiagnosed.

DeafResearcher 1 month ago It is fascinating to watch his facial expressions.  He I checked with some Deaf colleagues. They all agreed that he has very limited facial expressions and showed little emotions. If you watch his eyebrows, they don't move much. Moving eyebrows is part of American Sign Language. This is just one example. Anyway, It is pretty typical of people with Aspergers.

TheFaceFocus 1 year ago Reply I would argue that hearing people do use facial expression in their reading of people's meaning, perhaps differently than the formally Deaf, but more I think than Dr McCullough seems to argue at 4:30 willowdovegirl 2 years ago. Mary Wilde: 24 Jul 2016 9:08:11pm Man is defined as the symbol-making and symbol-using animal, and there are two types of natural human languages: spoken and signed. Sign language has its phonology, morphology, syntax, and discourse, which have been developing since prehistory, even though the very first record of sign language in Western culture kicked off in the seventeenth century.

At present, there are more than a hundred distinct sign languages, and we can trace their origins by historical evidence.
