BSL Recognition 2021 - Sannah Gulamani
What does BSL Recognition mean to you? I remember when I was 14 years old having attended the BSL March. The march, a glorious celebration and campaign of BSL resulted into the recognition of BSL and I remember as a young child how inspiring that felt. So for me, what does BSL recognition mean? There are a few things. One, raised positive visibility of deaf people and British Sign Language. Secondly, a recognition of it’s language, culture and rich history from past to this present day. This too supports human and sign language rights and working toward lobbying and consulting with services to ensure BSL services are provided and of high quality.

DCAL History of BSL 54 linguistic research on BSL
ELAN is a professional tool for the creation of complex annotations on video and audio resources. It enables linguistic analysis to be timelinked to video. With ELAN a user can add an unlimited number of annotations to audio and/or video streams. An annotation can be a sentence, word or gloss, a comment, translation or a description of any feature observed in the media. Annotations can be created on multiple layers, called tiers. Tiers can be hierarchically interconnected. An annotation can either be time-aligned to the media or it can refer to other existing annotations. ELAN provides several different views on the annotations; each view is connected and synchronized to the media playhead. ELAN is an essential tool for sign language linguistics research.
