{"title":"Rethinking handshape","authors":"Ella Wehrmeyer","doi":"10.1075/sll.18001.weh","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1075/sll.18001.weh","url":null,"abstract":"\u0000 Concerted attention in sign language linguistics has focused on\u0000 finding ways to document signs. Until now, most notation systems rely on a\u0000 complex plethora of symbols and are under-specific, to the extent that visual\u0000 images are still the most widely accepted way of recording primary data. This\u0000 paper presents a novel phonetic notation of handshape in a step towards deriving\u0000 an International Phonetic Alphabet for sign languages, based on digit shape\u0000 (configuration) and position in terms of reference coordinates, aiming at both\u0000 readability and precision. It is sufficiently hybrid to allow for both accurate\u0000 measurements and estimates of digit positions, thereby affording a way of\u0000 representing handshapes suitable for lexicography, studying phonetic variation\u0000 and avatar programming. Originally tailored to describe handshapes in South\u0000 African Sign Language, it can also notate gestures. After discussing\u0000 transcription methods and hand physiology, digit configurations are defined in\u0000 terms of joint angles. Variations in configuration positions are then specified\u0000 in terms of Cartesian reference coordinates.","PeriodicalId":43398,"journal":{"name":"Sign Language & Linguistics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2019-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48558858","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}

This paper provides supportive evidence for\u0000 Davidson’s analysis from two other languages, Japanese and Japanese Sign\u0000 Language.

Dabei stellt sich die Frage was in der Abwesenheit overter Verortung passiert. Die vorliegende Dissertation thematisiert diese Frage mit Hilfe der Untersuchung potentieller Faktoren, die das Verstehen des pronominalen IX und die Produktion referentieller Ausdrucke beeinflussen. Dabei werden Daten in Deutscher Gebardensprache (DGS) und Turkischer Gebardensprache (TID), erhoben in einem Referentenauswahlaufgabe und einer Satzweiterfuhrungsaufgabe, vergleichend betrachtet. \u0000Die Ergebnisse der vorliegenden Arbeit zeigen das raumliche Standards bei der Verortung, deren Verwendung bei der Einfuhrung und der Verfolgung von Referenten in gebardensprachlichen Diskursen gezeigt wurde (Steinbach & Onea 2016; Wienholz, Nuhbalaoglu, Mani, Herrmann & Steinbach 2018), nur in begrenzten Kontexten (d.h. mit reziproken Verben) zum Verstehen eines pronominalen IX angewandt werden. Bei der Produktion werden raumliche Standards nur selten verwendet und zeigen deutliche intra- und intersprachliche Variation. Wahrend das bevorzugte Standardmuster fur DGS ipsi–contra (unabhangig von Handigkeit) ist, zeigt TID hauptsachlich ein rechts–links Muster fur Sprachverstehen und ein links–rechts Muster fur Sprachproduktion (unabhangig von Handigkeit). \u0000Daruber hinaus wird ein moglicher Einfluss der folgenden Konventionen auf die Salienz von Referenten beobachtet: (i) semantische und morpho-syntaktische Eigenschaften der Verbklassen (z.B. einfache Verben unterstutzen Objektpraferenz), (ii) Strategien der Perspektive (DGS Signer bevorzugten die Perspektive des Sprechers und rotieren den Gebardenraum um 1800 wahrend TID Signer die Adressatenperspektive einzunehmen scheinen und den Gebardenraum spiegeln), (iii) der referentielle Wert des pronominal IX an sich (z.B. Referenz zu Entitaten mit niedrigem Zugangsstatus), (iv) die Struktur des Diskurskontexts (z.B. potentieller Unterschied zwischen Aufrechterhaltungs- und Wiedereinfuhrungskontext im Hinblick auf die Produktion von IX Gebarden), (v) die Art der Koharenzbeziehung zwischen den Satzen (z.B. kausale Beziehung rufen mehrheitlich Objektpraferenz hervor). \u0000Die Erkenntnisse der vorliegenden Dissertation unterstreichen den Einfluss verschiedener modalitatsspezifischer (z.B. Gebardenraum) und modalitatsunabhangiger (z.B. Verbsemantik) und sowohl Probanden-bezogener (z.B. Handigkeit) als auch sprachspezifischer (z.B. Interaktion mit dem Gestensystem der umgebenen Lautsprache) Konventionen bei der Auflosung anaphorischer und der Produktion referentieller Ausdrucke. In Anbetracht dessen wird die Notwendigkeit einer integrierten Theorie der Anaphernresolution, die die der oben genannten Aspekte berucksichtigt, und eines multidimensionalen Ansatzes zur Salienz verdeutlicht.","PeriodicalId":43398,"journal":{"name":"Sign Language & Linguistics","volume":"40 1","pages":"282-290"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2019-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75586716","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}

On the basis of low-referential contexts\u0000 (cf. questionnaire in the Introduction chapter), we recorded target sentences containing potential markers of agent backgrounding\u0000 and asked three LIS native signers to provide felicity judgments on them using a 7-point scale.

Overall, our study shows that the combination of\u0000 raised eyebrows and mouth-corners down associated with the existential quantifier someone and the sign person\u0000 makes the agent-backgrounding reading more prominent. Other strategies that can be used in LIS to reduce referentiality are free\u0000 relatives, perspective shift, and null subject.
