Ny/utsatt eksamen

Ny/utsatt eksamen foregår som ordinær eksamen.

Studentene skal tilegne seg grunnleggende kunnskaper om tegnspråkgrammatikk og om døves kultur og historie. Mange av de teoretiske emnene blir også gjennomgått i praksistimene. Språklige emner er f.eks. oppbygningen av enkelttegn, ikonisitet, simultanitet og spatialitet, setninger som uttrykker negasjon, bekreftelse, ulike spørresetninger, uttrykk for tid, blandingsformer mellom tegnspråk og talespråk. Det gis også undervisning i kulturelle og historiske emner som ulike perspektiver på døvhet, historien om døve mennesker, og om hvordan tegnspråk har fått status som eget språk i storsamfunnet, samt kommunikasjonssituasjonen til ulike grupper av døve, tunghørte og døvblitte.
