摘要

英国手语（BSL）的签署者存在年龄差异，有证据表明BSL正在发生变化。在这里，我们探讨了BSL签名者对年龄差异和语言变化的态度。我们研究了来自英国四个地区的80名签名者的BSL语料库（Schembri et al.，2014）的采访数据。我们根据Braun和Clarke（2006）对与年龄变化和语言变化相关的问题的回答进行了主题分析。研究结果表明，签名者意识到BSL的变化和变化，这也与语言行为一致。一些变化和变化被认为比其他变化和变化更容易被接受，例如新概念的标志。其他变化被视为对BSL活力的威胁。我们探讨了这些态度，特别是少数民族语言中的语言危害和活力。

Attitudes towards age variation and language change in the British deaf community

There are age-related differences in signers of British Sign Language (BSL) and evidence that BSL is changing. Here we explore attitudes of BSL signers towards age-related differences and language change. We studied interview data from the BSL Corpus (Schembri et al., 2014) from 80 signers from four regions in the U.K. We carried out a thematic analysis following Braun and Clarke (2006) on responses to questions related to age variation and language change. Findings reveal signers were aware of variation and change in BSL, which also align with linguistic behaviour. Some variation and change was deemed more acceptable than others, e.g. signs for new concepts. Other changes were seen as a threat to BSL's vitality. We explore these attitudes, looking particularly at language endangerment and vitality within minority languages.

期刊介绍： This journal is unique in that it provides a forum devoted to the interdisciplinary study of language and communication. The investigation of language and its communicational functions is treated as a concern shared in common by those working in applied linguistics, child development, cultural studies, discourse analysis, intellectual history, legal studies, language evolution, linguistic anthropology, linguistics, philosophy, the politics of language, pragmatics, psychology, rhetoric, semiotics, and sociolinguistics. The journal invites contributions which explore the implications of current research for establishing common theoretical frameworks within which findings from different areas of study may be accommodated and interrelated. By focusing attention on the many ways in which language is integrated with other forms of communicational activity and interactional behaviour, it is intended to encourage approaches to the study of language and communication which are not restricted by existing disciplinary boundaries.
