***CDIs often word with hearing interpretrs (Ex. Legal settings) – goal is to have CDI in all legal settings

81
Q

Revolution in Feild of Linguistics

A

Revolution occured in linguistics when ASL received equal status and academic credability

NOW - have many reserach labs to study ASL and make ASL study materials

82
Q

Stokoe

A

Professor at Agulaudette – noticed patterns in ASL –> Studied these patterns and wrote dictionary based on liguist elemnts of sign + founded the first linguistics lab for ASL

Saw unique patterns + structures in ASL

83
Q

Example Linguistics Lab

A
  1. University of Texas - Scietists are studying gestures of babies
  2. Galaudete - Visual Langauge Learning Lab
  3. Gauladette - Brain Language learning lab
  4. USCD - Center for Reserach in Language
  5. Institute for Disabilities Reserach and Training - developing and marketing sign bilugiil multimedia materias + developing sign materials in morocco + developing gesture recognition capture software and hardwarre for finger/hand/arm movments – use in deaf education
84
Q

What do labs study

A

Study how ASL is procesed in the brain + how children aquire and learn ASL + how communities use ASL + how new sign languages emerge + role of gesture in learning

ASLO develop eductaional applications (Ex. developmnet of electronic books)

85
Q

How do you understand complexity of a language

A

To understand complexity of any language you study its structure

86
Q

ASL vs. English phonology

A

English = made up of sounds and written symbols –> Lists orders in words + phrases + sentances + converstions in a sequence of sounds (Sequences of sounds)

ASL = made up of signs + movemnets + body language –> ASL organizes its elemnts in space and movement at the same time of in sequence (Sequence of space and movement)

87
Q

How is ASL transmitted

A

ASL = transmitted with arms + bodymovents + lips + head tilt + eye gazes + eybrow raises + cheeck puffs + tongue protr=usions + face/head/mouth movments + mouth gestures

88
Q

Iconic Signs

A

Signs that look like what they mean

Exampke - Eat

89
Q

Breaking up signs

A

Signs are made up of parts that can be seperated into phonoes and morphology (word parts)

90
Q

Phonemes

A

Small linguistic Unit (Smaller than word)

***Applies to ASL and spoken words

91
Q

ASL vs. English time

A

ASL and spoken english express the same amount of information in the same amount of time – Signs take longer to form but ASL makes up for slower articulation with more compact pholonogic representation and by compining movements

92
Q

How can we anyalyze ASL

A

ASL (like english) can be anylyzed at the word/sentance/conversation/discourse level

93
Q

Stokoe Parameters of sign

A
  1. Dex (Hand configurtation)
  2. Tab (location)
  3. Sign (movement)

THESE are the phonemes of ASL

94
Q

Phonologic level of ASL vs. English

A

English = vowels and constanents

ASL = handshape + palm orientation + location + movment + NMS

95
Q

ASL morphology

A

Study of how a language creates new words or signs - shows how we can make new words (aka language productivioty)

Example:
English - adds plurality by adding word edings in sequential order
ASL - adds pluarlity by adding adjivtives or numvers

***ASL can also use movments and facial grammar to show other meanings

96
Q

Forming compund words

A

ASL has rules for forming compund words

Example - Sister = compunt for signs Girl and Same

97

ASL Grammar

A

ASL uses sign order to show relationships among words + ASL uses space and movment

100
Q

Changing meaning of sentance

A

Using the same sugns or words a person can compose two sentances with different meaning

English - change the word order = meaning is changed
ASL - change the movment = meaning is chnaged

Example - To indicate if cat is chasing dog or vica versa - set up where the cat is situated (CAT DOG CAT-CHASE vs. DOG CAT-CHASE)

***ASL has many grammatical processes that use space + movement + direction to show relationships among sign vs. english uses word order to show relationships

101
Q

ASL verb system

A

Made up of Classifiered Predicates + Calssifier handshapes + locative verbs –> ALL dipicting verbs

102
Q

Depicting verbs

A

Signs that use handshapes to designate things + size + shape + usuage

103
Q

A

Auxilary verbs in ASL (Will + Can + Finish + Must + Should) - used at the begining and end of the sentance

106
Q

ASL Preprositions

ASL does not use prepositions in the way English does – ASL usses depicting verbs while english uses preoposestions

107
Q

English Morphemes vs. ASL

A

A

Deaf children as young as 13 months will aquire fingerspelling by learning words THEN learning to spell letters –> THEN chidlren will idetofy indovidual fingerspelled letters –> THEn they will break words into sequences of handshapes
- Preschool kids learn to fingerspell words using own unique rythmic patterns that are diffrent from english sequence sylubals

***Deaf children will babble using fingerspelled handshapes simaialr top weays hearing children babble sounds –> THEN deaf chidlren match fingerspelled handshapes to letters when they learn to spell and write

***Quick to learn to make fs alphabet but it takes longer to be able to read fingerspelling fast

118
Q

Modality

A

Refers to sensory path or chanel by which language is made and understood by the user

119
Q

Types of Modaility

A
  1. Auditory-vocal (Ex. talk to a freind)
  2. Visual Gestural (Ex. sign)
  3. Tacticle (Ex. Signing into palm of hand)
  4. Written Language (Ex. Write name)
120
Q

A

Sometimes modaloities can be mized

Example - Hearing biliuguals - Use two outputs (the vocal tract and hands for signs and two persception systems of audition and visual)
***Sometimes have ASL-English code - ASL signs at the same time as english is spoken

121
Q

Modality impact on language

A

There are similarities and differences in how modaility impacts langauges

Example - Both sign and spoken lanaguge have shared properties such as vocabulary + both have dual patterning + both have productivity + both have syntactic structires (both have nouns + verbs + Adjictives) + both are aquries on similar timetables + both use left hemisphere of brain for grammar processes

122
Q

Dual patterning

A

Meaningful units (words or signs) are built on meaningless phonologic units

123
Q

Productivity

A

New words can be formed

124
Q

Differences between english and sign

A
  1. Both have different in size of articulators
  2. Speech of signs vs. speed of speech (ASL signs are made at a slower rate compared to words) BUT the rate at which ideas are transmitted is the same
125
Q

Articulators for speech vs. Articulars for sign

A

Speech - Tongue + mandible + lips + Velum

Sign - hands and arms

126
Q

Braille

A

System of dots that enables blind people to read (depends on touch)

127
Q

How do deafblind people communicate

A

Use tactile modality - make ASL handshapes into a hand OR can trace letters into palm of the hand OR use hands-on signing where they feel the sign by placing their hand over the signer’s hand OR may use Tadoma method OR use tacticle ASL OR tacticle fingerspelling

128
Q

A

Uses tacticle lipreading - person feels vibraryion of throat/face/jaw as speaker speaks

129
Q

Tacticle ASL

A

A Dialect of ASL - has the same handshapes as ASL users sign with one hand and the deafblind signer places their hand on top to fee; the signs

***Same phnology as ASL

130
Q

Tacticle communication

A

Follows english signs and english word order

***Can be used by deafblind people

131
Q

A

Scripts based on spoken language

Only 200 languages have a written form - not unusual that ASL does not have a written form

132
Q

ASL writting notation

A

ASL does have a writting notation called ASL gloss (used by linguists and educators to anylyze ASL + teach ASL)

133
Q

ASL gloss

A

Writting system for ASL that uses English capital letters to represent signs

***Does not incorporate nonmanual elemnts = limited

134
Q

Iconicity

A

A word is iconic when its forms look or sound like its meaning

***The fact that sign languages incorportae icnonicity may be one reason why deaf people may have easier time communicating with other deaf people who use different signs AND why babies can pick up functional vocab in a sign

***Featire shared by english and ASL

135
Q

Language mixing

A

No language is pure (including ASL) - when a language comes into contact with another language –> language changes –> a new dialect emerges

***ASL has different dialects
