The Language of Special Education Professionals: A Conceptual Framework.

Woodill, Gary; Davidson, Iain F. W. K.

Canadian Journal of Special Education, v5 n2 p115-22 1989

The language of special education professionals is discussed as both a language game and a professional discourse and is analyzed at the level of semiotics. The semiotics of special education is broken down into the use of generative metaphors, keywords, and signs of difference. (Author/JDD)
