  • The Bilingual & the Bicultural Person in the Hearing & in the Deaf World
    The Bilingual & the Bicultural Person In the Hearing & in the Deaf World François Grosjean Sign Language Studies, Volume 77, Winter 1992, pp. 307-320 (Article) Published by Gallaudet University Press DOI: https://doi.org/10.1353/sls.1992.0020 For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/506985/summary Access provided by Universite de Neuchatel (14 Oct 2018 20:54 GMT) THE BILINGUAL &THE BICULTURAL PERSON IN THE HEARING & IN THE DEAF WORLD Frangois Grosjean Abstract If we define the bilingual as a person who uses two or more lan- guages (or dialects) in everyday life, then most Deaf people who sign and who use the majority language regularly (in its written form, for example) are bilingual. Deaf bilinguals share many simi- larities with hearing bilinguals (their diversity, the perception they have of their own bilingualism, their use of various language modes, etc.) but they are also characterized by a number of specificities (the lack of recognition of their bilingual status, the maintenance over time of their languages, the competence they have in certain language skills, their varying patterns of language knowledge and use, etc.). As concerns the bicultural, whom we can define as a person who lives in two or more cultures, who adapts to each and who blends aspects of each, there is little doubt that many Deaf are indeed bicultural. Some of the implica- tions for the bilingual and bicultural education of Deaf children that emerge from these considerations are discussed in the paper. The bilingual person. Despite the fact that more than half the world's population uses two or more languages in everyday life, many erroneous beliefs still surround the notion of bilingualism.

  • Alignment Mouth Demonstrations in Sign Languages Donna Jo Napoli
    Mouth corners in sign languages Alignment mouth demonstrations in sign languages Donna Jo Napoli, Swarthmore College, [email protected] Corresponding Author Ronice Quadros, Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, [email protected] Christian Rathmann, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, [email protected] 1 Mouth corners in sign languages Alignment mouth demonstrations in sign languages Abstract: Non-manual articulations in sign languages range from being semantically impoverished to semantically rich, and from being independent of manual articulations to coordinated with them. But, while this range has been well noted, certain non-manuals remain understudied. Of particular interest to us are non-manual articulations coordinated with manual articulations, which, when considered in conjunction with those manual articulations, are semantically rich. In which ways can such different articulators coordinate and what is the linguistic effect or purpose of such coordination? Of the non-manual articulators, the mouth is articulatorily the most versatile. We therefore examined mouth articulations in a single narrative told in the sign languages of America, Brazil, and Germany. We observed optional articulations of the corners of the lips that align with manual articulations spatially and temporally in classifier constructions. The lips, thus, enhance the message by giving redundant information, which should be particularly useful in narratives for children. Examination of a single children’s narrative told in these same three sign languages plus six other sign languages yielded examples of one type of these optional alignment articulations, confirming our expectations. Our findings are coherent with linguistic findings regarding phonological enhancement and overspecification. Keywords: sign languages, non-manual articulation, mouth articulation, hand-mouth coordination 2 Mouth corners in sign languages Alignment mouth demonstration articulations in sign languages 1.

  • Advocacy Notes
    Advocacy Notes Question from the field: We are a small school district and only offer an ASL interpreter for students with hearing loss, but more and more students are now using spoken language. Are there interpreting services or supports that we need to offer these students who do not use ASL? Depending on a student’s mode of communication, there are various options available for providing access in the educational setting. For the students who are receiving access to spoken language earlier and have better hearing technology, ASL is often not their primary language. There are language options and communication strategies available for families whose children have hearing 1 loss . Families may decide to use any of or a combination of the following: • Spoken Language - developing the use of spoken language in the primary language of the family and/or education system using the mouth and vocal cords • American Sign Language (ASL) - a complete language system that uses signs with the hands combined with facial expression and body posture. ASL includes visual attention, eye contact and fingerspelling. • Manually Coded English (MCE) - the use of signs that represent English words. Many of the signs are borrowed from ASL, but use the word order, grammar, and sentence structure of English. • Cued Speech - a system of hand signals to help the listener with hearing loss identify the differences in speech sounds that are difficult to discriminate through listening. • Conceptually Accurate Signed English (CASE)/Pidgin Sign English (PSE) - a mix of ASL signs used in English word order. • Simultaneous Communication - used in order to speak out loud while signing using CASE or PSE.

The goal of detection is to find in- tervals corresponding to fingerspelling (here indicated by open/close parentheses), and the goal of recognition is to transcribe each of those intervals into letter sequences. Our focus in this paper is on detection that enables accurate recognition. In this example (with downsampled frames), the fingerspelled words are PIRATES and PATRICK, shown along with their canonical handshapes aligned roughly with the most-canonical corresponding frames. Non-fingerspelled signs are labeled with their glosses. The English translation is “Moving furtively, pirates steal the boy Patrick.” Abstract lated and do not appear in their canonical forms [22, 25].
