本文探讨了视觉美国手语(VASL)和触觉美国手语(TASL)的亚词汇结构的分歧。我的核心主张是TASL是一种语言,而不仅仅是VASL的中继。为了使这种情况下,我展示了如何在互动的结构的变化,由“亲触觉”的社会运动的目标驱动,有助于重新分配的语法子系统的复杂性。我认为,这些变化构成了VASL的结构和一个新的,触觉语言的出现偏离。这样,我理解语言的出现不是从语境中“解放”出来,而是语境整合的过程。(C)2014爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
This article examines a divergence in the sublexical structure of Visual American Sign Language (VASL) and Tactile American Sign Language (TASL). My central claim is that TASL is a language, not just a relay for VASL. In order to make that case, I show how changes in the structure of interaction, driven by the aims of the "pro-tactile" social movement, contributed to a redistribution of complexity across grammatical sub-systems. I argue that these changes constitute a departure from the structure of VASL and the emergence of a new, tactile language. In doing so, I apprehend language emergence not as a "liberation" from context, but as a process of contextual integration. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
