520			_aSociolinguistics examines how language interacts with society, identity, and power. Within Deaf communities, signed languages such as American Sign Language and British Sign Language are not merely communication systems but central markers of cultural identity. These communities demonstrate how language shapes social networks, norms, and resistance to marginalization. Sociolinguistic research highlights variation in signing, language contact with spoken languages, and issues of language policy, education, and accessibility, emphasizing Deaf culture as a vibrant linguistic minority rather than a disability group. _uhttp://172.20.27.22:4000/handle/123456789/114
