Abstract

Additional language (L2/Ln) research largely focuses on learners whose first languages are spoken and who are learning additional spoken languages. In the past few decades, sign languages have become increasingly popular for hearing students in schools. These students must not only learn the vocabulary and grammar of sign languages but also manage a different modality (that is, the channels of production and reception of language) than their first language. This raises questions about the role of both language and modality in the L2/Ln learning of sign languages for non-signers. In other cases, deaf and hearing signers of a sign language learn a different sign language, raising questions about L2/Ln learning in the signed modality. This Special Issue consists of empirical contributions and a conceptual review article that examine how language and modality shape the learning of sign languages as additional languages. Theoretical issues concerning learning a sign language as another language are discussed.

特刊简介：学习手语作为附加语言：考虑语言和情态的特定因素

附加语言（L2/Ln）研究主要关注母语为母语的学习者和正在学习附加口语的学习者。在过去的几十年里，手语在学校里越来越受听力学生的欢迎。这些学生不仅要学习手语的词汇和语法，还要掌握与母语不同的语言形态（即语言的产生和接受渠道）。这就提出了关于语言和情态在非签名者学习手语的L2/Ln中的作用的问题。在其他情况下，手语的聋人和听力签署者学习不同的手语，这引发了关于在签署模式下学习二语/四语的问题。本期特刊包括实证贡献和一篇概念综述文章，研究语言和模态如何将手语作为附加语言来学习。讨论了将手语作为另一种语言学习的理论问题。

期刊介绍： Language Learning is a scientific journal dedicated to the understanding of language learning broadly defined. It publishes research articles that systematically apply methods of inquiry from disciplines including psychology, linguistics, cognitive science, educational inquiry, neuroscience, ethnography, sociolinguistics, sociology, and anthropology. It is concerned with fundamental theoretical issues in language learning such as child, second, and foreign language acquisition, language education, bilingualism, literacy, language representation in mind and brain, culture, cognition, pragmatics, and intergroup relations. A subscription includes one or two annual supplements, alternating among a volume from the Language Learning Cognitive Neuroscience Series, the Currents in Language Learning Series or the Language Learning Special Issue Series.
