    Special Theme: Where Sign Language Studies Can Take Us National Introductory Essay: Museum of Sign Languages are Languages! Ethnology Osaka Ritsuko Kikusawa Number 33 National Museum of Ethnology December 2011 On November 25, 2009, the Nagoya District Court in Japan sustained a claim by Newsletter Anthropology a Japanese Sign Language (JSL) user, acknowledging that sign languages are a means of communication that are equal to orally spoken languages. Kimie Oya, a Deaf signer, suffered from physical problems on her upper limbs as the result of injuries sustained in a traffic accident. This restricted her ability to express MINPAKU things in JSL. However, the insurance company did not admit that this should be compensated as a (partial) loss of linguistic ability, because ‘whether to use a sign language or not is up to one’s choice’. Although some thought that the degree of impairment admitted by the court (14% loss) was too low, the sentence was still welcome and was considered a big step forward toward the better recognition of JSL, the language of the biggest minority group in Japan.

Such extraneous torso movement is undesirable, especially during sign language communication, when torso position may carry linguistic significance, so we expend effort to resist it when it is not intended. This so-called “reactive effort” has only recently been identified by Sanders and Napoli (2016), but their preliminary work on three genetically unrelated languages suggests that the effects of reactive effort can be observed cross-linguistically by examination of sign language lexicons.

  • REACTIVE EFFORT AS a FACTOR THAT SHAPES SIGN LANGUAGE LEXICONS Nathan Sanders Donna Jo Napoli
    REACTIVE EFFORT AS A FACTOR THAT SHAPES SIGN LANGUAGE LEXICONS Nathan Sanders Donna Jo Napoli Swarthmore College Swarthmore College Many properties of languages, including sign languages, are not uniformly distributed among items in the lexicon . Some of this nonuniformity can be accounted for by appeal to articulatory ease, with easier articulations being overrepresented in the lexicon in comparison to more difficult articulations. The literature on ease of articulation deals only with the active effort internal to the articulation itself. We note the existence of a previously unstudied aspect of articulatory ease, which we call reactive effort : the effort of resisting incidental movement that has been induced by an articulation elsewhere in the body. For example, reactive effort is needed to resist incidental twisting and rocking of the torso induced by path movement of the manual articulators in sign lan - guages. We argue that, as part of a general linguistic drive to reduce articulatory effort, reactive ef - fort should have a significant effect on the relative frequency in the lexicon of certain types of path movements. We support this argument with evidence from Italian Sign Language, Sri Lankan Sign Language, and Al-Sayyid Bedouin Sign Language, evidence that cannot be explained solely by appeal to constraints on bimanual coordination . As the first exploration of the linguistic role of re - active effort, this work contributes not only to the developing field of sign language phonetics, but also to our understanding of phonetics in general , adding to a growing body of functionalist liter - ature showing that some linguistic patterns emerge from more fundamental factors of the physical world.
