In line with the terminology of national legislation on sign languages and in accordance with the values and principles established in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, REVLES recommends the use of the terms "sign language," "deaf person," and/or "deafblind person," where appropriate, in the writing of content addressed to this journal. We also recommend following the definitions that appear in both Law 27/2007, of October 23, which recognizes Spanish sign languages and regulates oral communication support methods for deaf, hard-of-hearing, and deafblind people, and in Royal Decree 674/2023, of July 18, which approves the Regulations on the conditions for the use of Spanish sign language and oral communication support methods for deaf, hard-of-hearing, and deafblind people.
Likewise, in order to reflect a more representative image of reality and raise awareness about the importance of recognizing and making women and men visible equally, the use of inclusive language is recommended.
