New article: Discursive Discrimination: Ableism and Linguicism in Governmental Documentation – The Case of Swedish Sign Language

In the article, we show how the view that sign language has been recognized as a language by the Swedish Parliament is incorrect.

An ambiguity that could be used by governments and authorities to alternately give the appearance that sign language is protected and sometimes in the same document state that this is not the case.

Authors are Mia Larsdotter and Stefan Johansson, Begripsam, together with Liz Adams Lyngbäck at Stockholm University.

A short version of th article is also available International Sign Language (IS), in written Swedish and in Swedish Sign Language (STS).
