Corker (2002) defines Deaf people as “that group of people with<br />hearing impairments who are excluded from the dominant areas of social and cultural<br />reproduction by the perpetuation of a phonocentric world-view.” Deaf people too have<br />adopted a capital ‘D’ in order to politicise the word.&quot;
