This monograph offers an in-depth exploration of the unique language planning journey of South African Sign Language (SASL). It documents the dynamic interaction between determined Deaf activists, policymakers, and other stakeholders, as well as complex legislative processes.
The author takes the reader on a journey from the first breakthroughs in the South African Schools Act of 1996 to its eventual full official recognition, set against a context of “English dominance” and the ongoing struggle of minority languages.
