Abstract

Abstract:

Contributors to this fiftieth anniversary volume of SLS were asked to describe our early involvement at the beginning stages of sign language linguistics. I'll briefly summarize my engagement from 1970 to 1980 before probing a much more interesting question: What lay behind William Stokoe's own leap into this new territory? Remarkably for an outsider to the Deaf community, he later had profound effects on it. This article reexamines Stokoe's own personal development—and the value of a curious and determined man who asks the right questions rather than just accepting assumptions about how Deaf people communicate.

威廉-斯托克--一个时代的人物

摘要:《手语语言学》50 周年纪念卷的撰稿人被要求描述我们在手语语言学起步阶段的早期参与情况。在探讨一个更有趣的问题之前，我将简要总结一下我从 1970 年到 1980 年的参与情况：威廉-斯托克（William Stokoe）自己跃入这一新领域的背后是什么？值得注意的是，作为聋人社区的局外人，他后来对社区产生了深远的影响。这篇文章重新审视了 Stokoe 的个人发展历程，以及一个充满好奇心、意志坚定、敢于提出正确问题而不是一味接受关于聋人交流方式的假设的人所具有的价值。
