  • 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.

  • Sources of Variation in Mongolian Sign Language
    33 Sources of Variation in Mongolian Sign Language Leah C. Geer University of Texas at Austin 1. Introduction1 During a nine month period in which data on Mongolian Sign Language (MSL) were collected in a Field Methods course, there were numerous instances of disagreement between language consultants on the correct sign for a given concept. The present paper seeks to describe these disagreements in terms of the potential sources of language variation among language consultants. The remainder of this paper is organized as follows: In section 1 we provide a sampling of previous work on language contact and language variation and describe the link between them. We then discuss the linguistic outcomes of contact situations between signed and spoken languages versus signed and signed languages as they relate to the present investigation. In section 2 we describe how data were collected and annotated and in section 3 we present our findings. Section 4 includes a discussion of these findings with respect to previous work on language contact, language variation, and language attitudes. In section 5 we close with brief mention of how to expand upon this work in the future. 1.1 Background: Language contact and language variation Several studies of lexical variation in signed languages have been undertaken: Lucas, Bayley & Valli (1991) for American Sign Language (ASL); Schembri, Johnston & Goswell (2006), Schembri & Johnston (2006, 2007) for Australian Sign Language (Auslan); and McKee & McKee (2011) for New Zealand Sign Language (NZSL), just to 1 Many thanks are in order here. First to our consultants (and in particular NB who has maintained contact with me and always been eager to answer questions), who shared their language with our group.

  • 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).

New literary and visual evi- dence for sixteenth-century Ottoman Arabic and Ottoman Turkish sign systems are presented and analyzed in this article. Al-Jā ḥ i ẓ (d. 869), a famous author of Arabic literature and theology in Abbasid-era Iraq, counted signs (in Arabic, ishārāt) among the five methods of expressing oneself, the other four be- ing speech, writing, monumental architecture, and finger reckoning (ḥisāb al-ʿaqd) (Pellat 1997). We know much about “literacy, orality and aurality in pre-print Middle Eastern societies” and the attendant cultures of reading, speaking, and writing (Hirschler 2012, 7).

  • Upcoming Review on Mongolia
    23 February 2015 Members of the United Nations Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Palais des Nations CH-1211 Geneva 10 Switzerland Re: Upcoming review on Mongolia Dear Committee Members, The World Federation of the Deaf (WFD) and the World Association of Sign Language Interpreters (WASLI) would like to raise some issues for your information upon review on Mongolia. The WFD has human rights project that includes providing training for 12 Mongolian deaf leaders on the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) and its monitoring mechanism. The aim of the training is to build deaf leaders’ capacity to become involved in the Mongolian disability movement to submit a parallel report. This submission is based on WFD Human Rights Officer’s (HRO) visits in Mongolia in September and November 2014 when she trained the deaf leaders at the Mongolian Association of the Deaf that is Ordinary Member of the WFD and the Mongolian National Federation of the Deaf. The WFD and the WASLI are worried about the possibility for deaf leaders to represent their organisations. According to the the joint statement of the WFD and the World Association of Sign Language Interpreters (WASLI) and the WASLI Statement on the Role of Sign Language Interpreters deaf people should lead their own lives and be consulted in issues concerning sign language and deaf people. However, the Mongolian Association of Sign Language Interpreters is in a stronger position than the Mongolian Association of the Deaf. The interpreter association has been treated as experts in sign language issues (state report paragraphs 44(i), 69(j), 69(k) and 103) whereas the Mongolian Association of the Deaf was not in leadership positions in these activities.
