翻译后摘要：它已经变得越来越清楚，目前对全球语言多样性的威胁并不局限于口语的损失。有符号的语言容易受到熟悉的语言迁移模式和一些有影响力的语言的全球传播的影响。但手语的生态也受到遗传学、社会对耳聋的态度、教育和公共卫生政策以及普遍的模态沙文主义的影响，这种沙文主义认为口语天生上级或更可取。这份研究报告回顾了全球范围内对手语的生命力和濒危程度的了解，并考虑了社区、政府和语言学家的反应。令人惊讶的是，尽管手语研究在语言学理论中占据了越来越重要的地位，但手语的生命力、濒危程度和复兴程度却受到了如此少的关注。现在是时候让来自更广泛背景的语言学家考虑原因，后果以及对当前威胁手语多样性的适当反应。在这样做的时候，我们必须更清楚地阐明这种多样性对语言学领域的价值以及该领域对保护它所承担的责任。
Abstract:It has become increasingly clear that current threats to global linguistic diversity are not restricted to the loss of spoken languages. Signed languages are vulnerable to familiar patterns of language shift and the global spread of a few influential languages. But the ecologies of signed languages are also affected by genetics, social attitudes toward deafness, educational and public health policies, and a widespread modality chauvinism that views spoken languages as inherently superior or more desirable. This research report reviews what is known about sign language vitality and endangerment globally, and considers the responses from communities, governments, and linguists.It is striking how little attention has been paid to sign language vitality, endangerment, and revitalization, even as research on signed languages has occupied an increasingly prominent position in linguistic theory. It is time for linguists from a broader range of backgrounds to consider the causes, consequences, and appropriate responses to current threats to sign language diversity. In doing so, we must articulate more clearly the value of this diversity to the field of linguistics and the responsibilities the field has toward preserving it.
