带符号的话语中密集地充满了指向性符号,在自发的对话中达到六分之一的频率(de Vos,2012;约翰斯顿,2013 a; Morford & MacFarlane,2003)。这些指向性标志具有广泛的功能,形式上高度多样化。本文基于对巴厘岛乡村手语Kata Kolok中自发指向手势的语料分析,认为指向手势的完整意义潜能是通过多种语言和语言外线索的整合实现的。考虑到这种混合性质的指向现象,有人认为,指向标志可能成为一个内在的方面,手语语法通过两种机制:语素化和句法整合。虽然在这项研究中没有涉及,这种方法可能意味着,一些高度系统化的指向系统的发言社区可能在一定程度上是语法以及。
Signed utterances are densely packed with pointing signs, reaching a frequency of one in six signs in spontaneous conversations (de Vos, 2012; Johnston, 2013a; Morford & MacFarlane, 2003). These pointing signs attain a wide range of functions and are formally highly diversified. Based on corpus analysis of spontaneous pointing signs in Kata Kolok, a rural signing variety of Bali, this paper argues that the full meaning potentials of pointing signs come about through the integration of a varied set of linguistic and extralinguistic cues. Taking this hybrid nature of pointing phenomena into account, it is argued that pointing signs may become an intrinsic aspect of sign language grammars through two mechanisms: morphemization and syntactic integration. Although not entailed in this research, this approach could implicate that some highly systematized pointing systems of speaking communities may to a degree be grammatical as well.
