He misses the purposeful routine of the academic year, and has lost his appetite for research. His wife Winifred's late-flowering career goes from strength to strength, reducing his role to that of escort and househusband, while the rejuvenation of her appearance makes him uneasily conscious of the age gap between them. The monotony of his days is relieved only by wearisome journeys to London to check on the welfare of his eighty-nine-year-old father, an ex dance musician who stubbornly refuses to move from the house he is patently unable to live in with safety. But these discontents are nothing compared to the affliction of hearing loss, which is a constant source of domestic friction and social embarrassment. In the popular imagination, he observes, deafness is comic, as blindness is tragic, but for the deaf person himself it is no joke.

The novelist Henry James was invisibly present in quotation and allusion. In Author, Author he is centre stage, sometimes literally. The story begins in December 1915, with the dying author surrounded by his relatives and servants, most of whom have private anxieties of their own, then loops back to the 1880s, to chart the course of Henry's 'middle years', focusing particularly on his friendship with the genial Punch artist and illustrator, George Du Maurier, and his intimate but chaste relationship with the American writer Constance Fenimore Woolson. By the end of the decade Henry is seriously worried by the failure of his books to 'sell', and decides to try and achieve fame and fortune as a playwright, at the same time that George Du Maurier, whose sight is failing, diversifies into writing novels.

'Article Edna Edith Sayers Statement.'

In planning my research strategy, I started from the assumption that the processes of social exclusion and inclusion, as well as the process of identity formation and identity changes accompany the whole life-paths of individuals. Based on a preliminary investigation (testing the questionnaire, preliminary interviews and initial participant observation) and the study of major relevant bibliographical sources, for the purposes of the current research I proposed to take into account the following main life-path stages:A. Early childhood socialization, language and identity in the early stages of life: factors influencing the handing down of identity within the family of origin; communication within the family; family socialization and early development;B.

School socialization, language and identity: determinants of school choice; school culture, language and communication; school language and ethnic-national identity;C. Family formation, language and identity within the founded family: choice of profession, home-making and the Deaf community; linguistic and cultural identity of the selected spouse; experiencing and transmittance of identity within the family;D. Community inclusion, use of language and identity: communication modes; social networks, informal community space and linguistic-cultural identity; experiencing the modalities of belonging to the nation.Over the life course research, the following methods and techniques have been applied:a) Statistical data collection was carried out from the records of the Deaf Association in Bihor, based on personal files, which provide information concerning major aspects of the Deaf community members life. The register includes files of around 600 people. Out of these members, an estimated one quarter supposedly has at least one parent of ethnic Hungarian descent.b) Questionnaire based survey among members of the ethnic Hungarian Deaf community in Oradea and their ethnic Romanian spouses. The research sample included 111 subjects, of which 89 are ethnic Hungarians and 22 Romanian spouses.c) Life path interviews with ethnic Hungarian Deaf individuals and their ethnic Romanian spouses (30 persons) selected on the basis of relevant typological criteria, in order to reveal their deeper motives and personal ways of reaching life-shaping decisions, the subjective means of experiencing key events occurred in one's life, and their influence on identity.d. Family case studies of two or three generation families, in order to allow the tracing of identity transfer within the family in a greater time horizon and its analysis in connection to the external factors and internal changes influencing family life.

The research results show that the teaching language of primary school is an important factor in preserving the Hungarian identity of Deaf community members. The real possibility of enhancing opportunities resides in inclusive solutions based on linguistic and cultural pluralism, which would presuppose the transformation of the whole education and social inclusion system. There is a need to establish a new legal and institutional framework to provide a favourable social environment for the recognition and enhancement of the complex and multiple identities characteristic for ethnic minority Deaf.For the success of the inclusion it would be essential that hearing parents, especially mothers, learn as quickly as possible about Deaf culture, the communication needs of their Deaf children and the effective ways of adaptation.

In the case of Deaf parents' family, where sign language knowledge is self-evident, the linguistic and cultural components of ethnic identity should be vigorously strengthened by early intervention, family support and intervention during the preschool education.The right to education in the mother tongue concerns also the Deaf as members of distinct cultural communities having their own languages, and therefore includes the right of Deaf to be educated in sign language. In the light of the fact that pupils from minority ethnic communities must have the same rights as their counterparts with mainstream national affinity, it is important to stress, that they have the right to be educated in their minority sign language(s) as well. For Romania, this presupposes the development of a school network (from kindergarten to high school), where beyond learning Romanian, pupils of minority ethnic belonging have the opportunity to become familiar with all communicational means specific to their ethnic-national identity and to make full use of them both within formal an informal educational contexts.
