  • Sign Language Typology Series
    SIGN LANGUAGE TYPOLOGY SERIES The Sign Language Typology Series is dedicated to the comparative study of sign languages around the world. Individual or collective works that systematically explore typological variation across sign languages are the focus of this series, with particular emphasis on undocumented, underdescribed and endangered sign languages. The scope of the series primarily includes cross-linguistic studies of grammatical domains across a larger or smaller sample of sign languages, but also encompasses the study of individual sign languages from a typological perspective and comparison between signed and spoken languages in terms of language modality, as well as theoretical and methodological contributions to sign language typology.

  • Iconicity As a Pervasive Force in Language: Evidence from Ghanaian Sign
    Iconicity as a pervasive force in language: Evidence from Ghanaian Sign Language and Adamorobe Sign Language By Mary Edward A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Brighton for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Humanities University of Brighton 2021 Abstract In this dissertation, I investigate various manifestations of iconicity and how these are demonstrated in the visual-spatial modality, focusing specifically on Ghanaian Sign Language (GSL) and Adamorobe Sign Language (AdaSL). The dissertation conducts three main empirical analyses comparing GSL and AdaSL. The data for the analyses were elicited from deaf participants using lexical elicitation and narrative tasks. The first study considers iconicity in GSL and AdaSL lexical items. This study additionally compares the iconic strategies used by signers to those produced in gestures by hearing non-signers in the surrounding communities. The second study investigates iconicity in the spatial domain, focusing on the iconic use of space to depict location, motion, action. The third study looks specifically at the use of, simultaneous constructions, and compares the use of different types of simultaneous constructions between the two sign languages. Finally, the dissertation offers a theoretical analysis of the data across the studies from a cognitive linguistics perspective on iconicity in language. The study on lexical iconicity compares GSL and AdaSL signers’ use of iconic strategies across five semantic categories: Handheld tools, Clothing & Accessories, Furniture & Household items, Appliances, and Nature. Findings are discussed with respect to patterns of iconicity across semantic categories, and with respect to similarities and differences between signs and gestures.

  • SLOVO Honeyland
    SLOVO Film review Honeyland Tamara Kotevska, Ljubomir Stefanov, 2018 Screenwriters: Tamara Kotevska, Ljubomir Stefanov Place: North Macedonia Studios: Trice Films, Apolo Media Length: 87 minutes Language: Balkan Gagauz Turkish Alex Figurski, University College London. Honeyland is a film from the countryside gone global. Set in the rural Balkans, a woman tending to wild bees has her way of life disrupted by rowdy new neighbours, bringing with them the demands of modernity and need for greater yields. And so this uniquely North Macedonian documentary – featuring a variety of cultural references and showcasing the country’s glorious stone-washed landscapes – carries an ecological message of worldwide relevance: Is our consumerism destroying the planet? The protagonist is Hatidže Muratova, a lone beekeeper in the near-abandoned village of Bekirlija. She is completely at one with her surroundings. She hikes up and down steep mountains, facing wild bees with minimal protective gear. She harvests the honey using wisdom passed on by previous generations and keeps her hive well-fed: “half for them, half for me”. Every so often, she travels to Skopje, the capital, to sell her produce directly to the market stall vendors, bringing back bananas and chestnut-coloured hair dye. Her quiet life is disturbed when a large family moves in next door, with the intention of earning extra income by producing their own honey. However, without Hatidže’s local knowledge and driven by consumer demand for ever increasing quantities of honey, they pay little attention to the damage they are doing to the beehive and the environment around them. Contrasting the lives of Hatidže and the family next door, Honeyland is a film about a traditional way of life which we may feel we can never go back to and, on the other hand, a mass consumption culture which cannot be sustainable for long.

  • Numerical Notation: a Comparative History
    This page intentionally left blank Numerical Notation Th is book is a cross-cultural reference volume of all attested numerical notation systems (graphic, nonphonetic systems for representing numbers), encompassing more than 100 such systems used over the past 5,500 years. Using a typology that defi es progressive, unilinear evolutionary models of change, Stephen Chrisomalis identifi es fi ve basic types of numerical notation systems, using a cultural phylo- genetic framework to show relationships between systems and to create a general theory of change in numerical systems. Numerical notation systems are prima- rily representational systems, not computational technologies. Cognitive factors that help explain how numerical systems change relate to general principles, such as conciseness and avoidance of ambiguity, which also apply to writing systems. Th e transformation and replacement of numerical notation systems relate to spe- cifi c social, economic, and technological changes, such as the development of the printing press and the expansion of the global world-system. Stephen Chrisomalis is an assistant professor of anthropology at Wayne State Uni- versity in Detroit, Michigan. He completed his Ph.D. at McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, where he studied under the late Bruce Trigger. Chrisomalis’s work has appeared in journals including Antiquity, Cambridge Archaeological Jour- nal, and Cross-Cultural Research. He is the editor of the Stop: Toutes Directions project and the author of the academic weblog Glossographia.

  • Cross-Linguistic Variation in Space-Based Distance for Size Depiction in the Lexicons of Six Sign Languages
    Cross-linguistic variation in space-based distance for size depiction in the lexicons of six sign languages Victoria Nyst University of Leiden This paper is a semiotic study of the distribution of a type of size depiction in lexical signs in six sign languages. Recently, a growing number of studies are focusing on the distribution of two representation techniques, i.e. the use of entity handshapes and handling handshapes for the depiction of hand-held tools (e.g. Ortega et al. 2014). Padden et al. (2013) find that there is cross- linguistic variation in the use of this pair of representation techniques. This study looks at variation in a representation technique that has not been systematically studied before, i.e. the delimitation of a stretch of space to depict the size of a referent, or space-based distance for size depiction. It considers the question whether the cross-linguistic variation in the use of this representation technique is governed by language-specific patterning as well (cf. Padden et al. 2013). This study quantifies and compares the occurrence of space-based distance for size depiction in the lexicons of six sign languages, three of Western European origin, and three of West African origin. It finds that sign languages differ significantly from each other in their frequency of use of this depiction type. This result thus corroborates that the selection and distribution of representation techniques does not solely depend on features of the depicted image, but also on language-specific patterning in the distribution of representation techniques, and it adds another dimension of iconic depiction in which sign languages may vary from each other (in addition to the entity/handling handshape distinction).
