These practices cluster around the five following issues: 1) knowledge of the specific sign language at the centre of the research and of sign languages more generally; 2) involving deaf people at the centre of research, including researchers who are themselves deaf; 3) motivations of the researcher and the relationship to the views of the sign language community; 4) what sign language data
