Thesis (Ph.D.)--The University of Texas at Austin, 1998.

Nicaragua's deaf community and its signed language only formed recently. Through the examination of this community, both synchronically and diachronically as a case study, this dissertation argues that deaf communities form because they provide an alternate locus for the performance of social agency outside of the taken-for-granted frame of reference, orality, which permeates society.

520 $a Nicaragua's deaf community and its signed language only formed recently. Through the examination of this community, both synchronically and diachronically as a case study, this dissertation argues that deaf communities form because they provide an alternate locus for the performance of social agency outside of the taken-for-granted frame of reference, orality, which permeates society.
520 $a Their formation is linked closely to the societal roles deaf persons are allowed to play. Where deafness is construed as incompatible with any social agency---where deaf persons are prohibited or strongly encouraged not to leave their birth homes---no deaf community will form, and deaf persons will always be considered "Eternal Children." Where social agency through oral proficiency is deemed possible, some deaf persons will attain such agency, becoming "Remediable Subjects," while others will consider their inability to acquire oral fluency to be a personal failing within a legitimate status quo. But where a sufficient number of deaf persons conclude that not only is full social agency through oral means an unobtainable goal, but that an alternate language form promises unhindered social access, the model of "Deaf as Community" beckons. Presently, in Nicaragua, all three perspectives operate.
520 $a Thus, deaf community formation is closely tied to prospective members' need or wish to take on societal adult roles (the fundamental characteristic of social agency). Although potential members may have been acquainted from childhood, deaf communities do not form when deaf persons function only as societal children or adolescents.
520 $a The attainment of social agency by deaf persons is impeded by orality, a pervasive language ideology which discourages deaf community formation. Language theorists have discarded the identification of speech with language, but orality as a taken-for-granted frame of reference is still omnipresent.
