There was also variation in F1 between gender across dialects: male Western\u0000 Madurese speakers produced [ə] with a lower F1 than their Eastern counterparts.

It has been suggested that shared sign languages exhibit more variation in the expression of everyday concepts than deaf\u0000 community sign languages (Meir, Israel, Sandler, Padden, & Aronoff, 2012). For deaf community\u0000 sign languages, it has been shown that various sociolinguistic factors condition this variation. This study presents one of the first\u0000 in-depth investigations of how sociolinguistic factors (deaf status, age, clan, gender and having a deaf family member) affect lexical\u0000 variation in a shared sign language, using a picture description task in Kata Kolok. To study lexical variation in Kata Kolok, two\u0000 methodologies are devised: the identification of signs by underlying iconic motivation and mapping, and a way to compare\u0000 individual repertoires of signs by calculating the lexical distances between participants. Alongside presenting novel methodologies to study\u0000 this type of sign language, we present preliminary evidence of sociolinguistic factors that may influence variation in the Kata Kolok\u0000 lexicon.","PeriodicalId":29731,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Language Variation","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2020-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45372056","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
