  • 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.

Wordlists and stories were collected in several towns of Nepal from Deaf school leavers who were considered to be representative of the Nepali Deaf. In each city or town there was a school for the Deaf either run by the government or run by one of the Deaf Associations. The wordlists were transcribed by hand using the SignWriting orthography. Two other places were visited where it was learned that there were possibly unique sign languages, in Jumla District, and also in Ghandruk (a village in Kaski District).

  • Sign Language Ideologies: Practices and Politics
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Heriot Watt Pure Annelies Kusters, Mara Green, Erin Moriarty and Kristin Snoddon Sign language ideologies: Practices and politics While much research has taken place on language attitudes and ideologies regarding spoken languages, research that investigates sign language ideol- ogies and names them as such is only just emerging. Actually, earlier work in Deaf Studies and sign language research uncovered the existence and power of language ideologies without explicitly using this term. However, it is only quite recently that scholars have begun to explicitly focus on sign language ideologies, conceptualized as such, as a field of study. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first edited volume to do so. Influenced by our backgrounds in anthropology and applied linguistics, in this volume we bring together research that addresses sign language ideologies in practice. In other words, this book highlights the importance of examining language ideologies as they unfold on the ground, undergirded by the premise that what we think that language can do (ideology) is related to what we do with language (practice).¹ All the chapters address the tangled confluence of sign lan- guage ideologies as they influence, manifest in, and are challenged by commu- nicative practices. Contextual analysis shows that language ideologies are often situation-dependent and indeed often seemingly contradictory, varying across space and moments in time. Therefore, rather than only identifying language ideologies as they appear in metalinguistic discourses, the authors in this book analyse how everyday language practices implicitly or explicitly involve ideas about those practices and the other way around.

It is a distinct, unique language that has a complex grammar of its own.

    International Sign and American Sign Language as Different Types of Global Deaf Lingua Francas Annelies Kusters Sign Language Studies, Volume 21, Number 4, Summer 2021, pp. 391-426 (Article) Published by Gallaudet University Press DOI: https://doi.org/10.1353/sls.2021.0005 For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/799806 [ Access provided at 2 Oct 2021 13:47 GMT with no institutional affiliation ] ANNELIES KUSTERS International Sign and American Sign Language as Different Types of Global Deaf Lingua Francas Abstract International Sign (IS) and American Sign Language (ASL) have both been used as lingua francas within international deaf contexts. Perspectives on the uses of IS and ASL as lingua francas in such contexts are connected to discourses pertaining to the form, func- tion, status, value, languageness, and global reach of IS and ASL. While there are some historical and usage-based parallels between IS and ASL, they are different types of lingua francas, and their uses as lingua franca are evaluated differently in different contexts. International Sign (IS) and American Sign Language (ASL) are both used as global deaf lingua francas within international deaf encounters and events, associated with different patterns of emer- gence, spread, and circulation. ASL is a national sign language that emerged in the United States in the nineteenth century (Supalla and Clark 2014). ASL (or its lexicon) has been introduced in various forms by missionaries, educationalists, and developmental workers in a significant number of countries in Africa, Asia, and South America (Parsons 2005; Woodward 1996). Deaf people from all over the world have attended universities in the Annelies Kusters is associate professor in Sign Language and Intercultural Research at Heriot-Watt University.

  • Sign Languages in Contact
    INTRO_Sign_Pozos_Gaul_193027 7/30/07 11:19 AM Page 1 Editor’s Introduction: Outlining Considerations for the Study of Signed Language Contact David Quinto-Pozos To my knowledge, this volume represents the first book-length collec- tion of various accounts of contact between sign languages, and this brings with it excitement as well as the realization of challenges that lie ahead.1 As many researchers who are interested in language contact might suggest, it is exciting because these chapters contribute to our un- derstanding of the structural and social aspects of contact and how such contact affects language in the visual-gestural modality. They provide us with information about Deaf communities throughout the world, as well as language data that speak to the ways in which contact is manifested in those communities. This global perspective allows us to examine con- tact situations in search of commonalties and recurring patterns. It also enables us to see how some outcomes of contact between sign languages might or might not fit the general patterns of contact that have been demonstrated for spoken languages. Perhaps as a way to balance the ex- citement about this topic, the sobering truth is that we know so little about contact between sign languages. As a result, we are faced with the task of documenting examples of such contact and the challenge of ex- amining the effects of visual meaning creation on linguistic structures that occur in these contact situations. By focusing on this area of inquiry, we stand to gain much knowledge about how language works. The study of language contact among signed languages forces us to carefully consider how the visual-gestural modality of human com- munication influences language birth, development, change, and de- cay or loss from disuse.

  • Possessive and Existential Constructions in Kata Kolok
    PAMELA PERNISS & ULRIKE ZESHAN 125 Chapter 6 Possessive and existential constructions in Kata Kolok Pamela Perniss and Ulrike Zeshan KATA KOLOK Kata Kolok (literally ‘language deaf’) is the sign language used in Desa Kolok (literally ‘village deaf’), a small traditional farming village in the north of Bali, Indonesia. Due to the spread of a recessive deafness gene throughout the village, Desa Kolok has had a high incidence of deafness for many generations. Among the total village population of approximately 2,200, there are currently 45 deaf people. This puts the rate of deafness in the village at nearly 2%, which is 20 times greater than the world’s average. There are deaf people (Balinese kolok) in all ten village clans, which means that the kolok are an integral part of the village population. As a result, all hearing people in Desa Kolok are accustomed to living with deaf people, and sign language is used not only among the deaf, but equally by the hearing vil- lage population. Due to its peculiar sociolinguistic setting, the vast majority of Kata Kolok users are L2 (second language) users. These are the hearing people in the village who use the sign language to communicate with the deaf villagers. They also use a range of spoken languages, most prominently spoken Balinese, for various formal, informal, and ritual purposes in everyday life. The only monolingual users of Kata Kolok are the deaf villagers, and since access to formal education for the deaf has been nonexistent or marginal at best, they are illiterate. Unlike deaf communities in many urban settings, the deaf community in Desa Kolok does not receive any oral education or training in articulation and lipreading.

  • Nepali Sign Language and Nepali: Social and Linguistic Dimensions of a Case of Inter-Modal Language Contact*
    BLS 35, No 2 2009. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3765/bls.v35i2.3508 (published by the Berkeley Linguistics Society and the Linguistic Society of America) Nepali Sign Language and Nepali: Social and Linguistic * Dimensions of a Case of Inter-Modal Language Contact E. MARA GREEN University of California, Berkeley 0. Introduction In this paper, I examine inter-modal language contact between Nepali Sign Language (NSL) and Nepali, focusing particularly on the semantic domain of kinship. As one aspect of an on-going research project, this paper draws on five months of preliminary fieldwork with deaf communities and individuals in Nepal.1 In the original paper presented at BLS 35, I showed how NSL, which developed in the last few decades in a primarily Nepali-speaking environment, exploits modality-specific resources in its systematic replication of the Nepali language kinship domain. I argued that in light of the data, we should rethink either Winford’s (2003) implicational constraints on lexical and structural borrowing and/or how the term ‘borrowing’ makes presumptions about social- linguistic relationships that do not necessarily apply to (at least this) signed language. While maintaining the original empirical and theoretical material, the current version also incorporates new ideas that have arisen from the process of presenting, receiving feedback on, and rewriting this paper. 1. Background Language contact scholars, like linguists more generally, have concentrated almost exclusively on spoken languages. There are important exceptions to
