In their assertions, they illustrate that each of these literature carries cultural, significant, and functional literacy. In this regard, there are indispensable language proficiencies that augment communication, the incidences common among the cluster represented by particular literature, and the significance of literature to enable and equip its speakers or users correspondingly (Christie & Wilkins, 1997).

Dissertation Abstracts International, 53(7), 2163A. Rose scrutinizes the unique literature manifested and developed in American Sign Language (ASL). The conventional element looks at the root of ASL literature and identifies two essential periods. First, the pre-videotape phase that incorporates Deaf folklore and oral customs created in ASL and transferred "verbally" by subsequent recipient generations. Secondly, the focus is on the post-videotape era that constitutes single-authored works developed in ASL and published on videotape. Secondly, the vocabulary of literary lyric, dramatic, and epic modes manifests more explicit as opposed to that of genres for explaining ASL ART because methods do not only rely on the written word (Rose 1993). Lastly, Rose gives explanations into Body Knowledge as displayed in ASL aesthetic performance and the entire human communication. Bauman, H. L.

Journal of Deaf Studies & Deaf Education, 19(4), 546-558. doi:10. deafed/enu020 Sutton-Spence and Quadros (2014) indicate that regardless of the research reviewing and evaluating signed poetry, research on the goals and purpose of the signing poets is dismal. Their article explores the producers of the signed poetry. Sutton-Spence and Quadros (2005) attach value to the function of sign language poetry in developing and showing the Deaf poet’s identity as a “visual person” among the individuals in a broad national community. The duo indicates the manner two Deaf poets from different linguistic and cultural setups have same effects shown in their sign language poems because of their folkloric acquaintance and extensive national folklore.
