Marton, Eniko; MacIntyre, Peter D. – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2022
The realisation of the linguistic rights of Deaf individuals is, to a considerable extent, dependent upon whether there are majority language speakers who acquire a sign language as an L2 and use their L2 skills. Still, the motivation of hearing persons in learning sign languages as L2s is a largely unmapped area. This study seeks to capture the…

The assimilation of the ethnic groups in question…
