[stylist] DBG (chapter 4)

[helene ryles]

Hi Lora,
Cued speech a system of communication that makes traditionally spoken
languages accessible by using a small number of handshapes
(representing consonants) in different locations near the mouth
(representing vowels), as a supplement to lipreading.
It is not used much since the signing Deaf don't like it because it
reeks too much of oralism. The strict Oral crowd pay it lip service
but prefere to use purely oral methods.
To me it seems a useful tool for learning speech and lip reading but
the problem is when people use it as a stand alone system competing
with sign language.
