This research blog provides a sociolinguistic insight into disability. Through the writing of personal chronicles and reading reports, this blog explores the relationship between discourse and disability. It describes and discusses the ways in which people with disabilities are spoken to or talked about in society. As the father of a child with a disability and a sociolinguist, the author seeks to problematise and list communication situations that are experienced by many people with disabilities or their relatives. As a participant observer, the author talks more particularly about the actors and institutions with which he interacts on a daily basis, but also about the current events in the french-speaking media.
