Abstract:

Sign Language is used to facilitate the communication between Deaf and non-Deaf people. It uses signs-words with basic structural elements such as handshape, parts of face, body or space, and the orientation of the fingers-palm. Sign Languages vary from people to people and from country to country and evolve as spoken languages. In the current study, an application which aims at Greek Sign Language and English Sign Language learning by hard of hearing people and talking people, has been developed. The application includes grouped signs in alphabetical order. The user can find Greek Sign Langua

Abstract:

The Sign Language curriculum is a contemporary development which few countries have officially implemented to teach a national standard Sign Language as a first language (L1) and/or mother tongue in the school grades. In these, Sign Language is a mandatory unit, which the deaf child needs to study and develop metalinguistically, as is the case in learning spoken languages as L1. A Sign Language as a metalanguage also means that the curriculum teaches explicit linguistic knowledge for the child to understand gradually how SL functions in different contexts, to make effective choices for meaning

AbstractThis article analyzes language ideologies with regard to sign language in Adamorobe, a “shared signing community” in southern Ghana. Adamorobe Sign Language (AdaSL) is a “shared sign language,” used by all deaf people and a large number of hearing Akan-speaking people. Deaf schoolchildren from Adamorobe attend a school where Ghanaian Sign Language (GSL) is taught. Hearing interviewees have experiential knowledge that everything can be said in AdaSL, emphasise the shared roots of AdaSL and Akan, and called AdaSL “natural.” Deaf interlocutors describe Akan, AdaSL, and GSL as three distin

Abstract:

Emerging sign languages offer linguists an opportunity to observe language emergence in real time, far beyond the capabilities of spoken language studies. Sign languages can emerge in different social circumstances—some in larger heterogeneous communities, while others in smaller and more homogeneous communities. Often, examples of the latter, such as Ban Khor Sign Language (in Thailand), Al Sayyid Bedouin Sign Language (in Israel), and Mardin Sign Language (in Turkey), arise in communities with a high incidence of hereditary deafness. Traditionally, these communities were in limited contact w

The need for a more detailed account concerning the first two centuries of rhetorical theory is best illustrated by an example: we present here the textual evidence for two common terms denoting evidence, namely τεκμήριον and σημεῖον.

While τεκμήριον is fairly regularly used to mean past evidence for a present claim or state, σημεῖον ranges in meaning from a present indication for a past act or state to something very similar to τεκμήριον.

Abstract Following the publication of William Stokoe’s Sign Language Structure in 1960, there was a proliferation of linguistic research addressing different aspects of sign languages. The emergence of this research had implications not only for linguistics as an academic discipline, but also for the deaf community itself. One area in which the study of sign languages and the growing activism of deaf communities overlapped in powerful ways was in calls for the official recognition of sign languages – that is, with respect to status planning. In addition to status planning, there have also been

Individuals with hearing and speech disabilities use sign language as their primary mode of communication to express their thoughts, ideas, feelings, and opinions to the rest of the world. They use multiple complementary channels to convey information as visual languages. This includes manual characteristics like hand shape, movement and pose, facial expression, lip movement, and so on. For someone who has never learned the language, the sign gestures are frequently mixed up and confused.

This paper investigates whether two-handed signs in Kenyan Sign Language, a relatively young school-based sign language, conform to the same constraints on combinations of movement and handshape that hold in other sign languages. An analysis of 467 two-handed signs, separated into four types based on complexity, found that KSL is highly constrained, with only a few signs that violate proposed conditions. Three hypotheses to account for handshape restrictions on the non-dominant hand in highly complex signs are tested. Findings show that a universal unmarked set accounts for most of these hands

In one, gesture serves as a source of lexical and grammatical morphemes in signed languages. In the second, elements become directly incorporated into signed language morphology, bypassing the lexical stage. Finally, I propose a unifying framewo

Abstract:

Abstract In the past two decades, a wave of campaigns to recognise sign languages have taken place in numerous countries. These campaigns sought official recognition of national sign languages, with the aim of enhancing signers’ social mobility and protecting the vitality of sign languages. These activities differ from a long history of sign language planning from a ‘language as a problem’ approach largely used by educators and policymakers to date. However, the instrumental rights and social mobility obtained as a result have thus far been limited with educational linguistic and language acqu

Abstract:

Abstract – People with hearing and speech disabilities often struggle to communicate without a translator, as sign language is not universally understood. They rely heavily on hand gestures for non-verbal communication. To address this, the paper proposes a system for automatic recognition of finger spelling in Indian Sign Language. The process begins by capturing the sign as an image input. Skin colour-based segmentation is used to detect hand shape, followed by conversion to a binary image. A Euclidean distance transformation is applied, and row/column projections are performed. For feature

Abstract:

Neg-raising, the phenomenon whereby a negation in the main clause of a complex constructionis interpreted as if belonging to the embedded clause, has been intensivelystudied in spoken languages. The same cannot be said for sign languages. In this paper,we investigate the properties of Neg-raising constructions in three sign languages:French Sign Language, Italian Sign Language, and Sign Language of the Netherlands.We report on two syntactic tests we applied to disambiguate Neg-raising and non-Negraisingreadings, showing that Neg-raising constructions have similar properties in thethree sign la

Abstract:

Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH) children need to master at least one language (spoken or signed) to reach their full potential. Providing access to a natural sign language supports this goal. Despite evidence that natural sign languages are beneficial to DHH children, many researchers and practitioners advise families to focus exclusively on spoken language. We critique the Pediatrics article ‘Early Sign Language Exposure and Cochlear Implants’ (Geers et al., 2017) as an example of research that makes unsupported claims against the inclusion of natural sign languages. We refute claims that (1)

Abstract:

The article discusses signs-antonyms in Russian Sign Language from the point of view of how visual modality in which this language exists affects their internal structure. The article shows that the correlation between the structure and semantics of antonymous gestures in Russian Sign Language is built primarily on iconicity and the use of three-dimensional space. This reveals the uniqueness of antonymic relations in sign languages in comparison with those in spoken languages.

Abstract:

This visual-manual modality is used in sign language to transfer meaning. Sign language is strongly related to manual groups of deaf people.Sign language is used by deaf people for a very long time, most written records about sign language trace based to the fifth century. Sign languages are seen as complex as many spoken language besides they are not real language as most people think. Sign languages are thought to be mime in some words, typical and arbitrary. It is not important for this type of language to have a visual relationship to their references. Spoken language is quite

Abstract:

The present article is part of a larger study related to the current and interesting topic of the sign nature of sign languages and in particular the Bulgarian sign language. The main aspects of the study are to outline the sign rebirth of sign languages and the main relationships between sign types. The reasoning leads to the triadic model of C.S. Peirce, which is fully applicable to sign languages in contrast to the dyadic model of F. de Saussure, which is applicable to natural languages. The emphasis in this article is on the types of signs (indexical, iconic and symbolic) and their hierarc
