Abstract

Abstract:Research on translanguaging practices of Deaf people have shown their creative multimodal resources to communicate (Kusters 2017; Holmström and Schönström 2017; Moriarty Harrelson 2017). These findings have enlightened disciplines like sociolinguistics and bilingual education and can be equally important for policy makers who make decisions that impact Deaf people's lives.Historically, Hong Kong Sign Language (HKSL) has not played a crucial role in all aspects of society. It can be considered a "language of limited diffusion" (Johnston and Napier 2010), meaning that HKSL has not developed a rich vocabulary in various specialized domains. In recent years, Deaf people in Hong Kong have been advocating for more public services in HKSL. Their efforts are undermined by societal perceptions that HKSL has a modest lexicon.

香港聋人的翻译——从书面汉语翻译意义

摘要:聋人的跨语言实践研究显示了他们创造性的多模态交流资源(Kusters 2017;Holmström和Schönström 2017;莫里亚蒂·哈里森，2017)。这些发现启发了社会语言学和双语教育等学科，对那些做出影响聋人生活决定的政策制定者来说也同样重要。历史上，香港手语并没有在社会的各个方面发挥重要作用。它可以被认为是一种“有限扩散的语言”(Johnston and Napier 2010)，这意味着HKSL在各个专业领域没有发展出丰富的词汇。近年来，香港的聋人一直呼吁增加香港手语的公共服务。他们的努力被社会认为香港语词汇有限的看法所破坏。
