Language awareness
This task can have different instructions. In the BSL Corpus participants were asked for their definition of BSL and about their opinion on variation and change, BSL teaching and so on. In the Corpus LSFB the moderator asked the participants what good
or bad
signing is. In another task the participants were asked to discuss variations in LSFB between younger and older signers, interpreters and different regions. In the Corpus NGT participants were asked about Sign Language Issues.
