I’ve been lucky enough to be invited to a workshop called Athena in Action at Rutgers Uni but I’m unable to secure a visa appointment at the US Embassy. It may sound cheesy but career-wise, presenting my paper and meeting the attendees at this workshop is a dream for me./1

بارها دیده می‌شود شنوایان در نگارش متن #روزنامه یا #شبکه‌های_اجتماعی از عباراتی مثل«زبان مخصوص ناشنوایان»،«زبان ناشنوا»،«زبان دنیای سکوت»استفاده می‌کنند.این نوع نگاه به زبان اشاره با حس ترحم یا مظلوم‌نمایی همراه است و به دلیل تفاوت فرهنگی بین شنوا و ناشنوا اتفاق میوفتد.
