翻译后摘要：在特立尼达和托巴哥的国家手语的出现可以追溯到第一所聋哑学校，这是在20世纪40年代开设。本文介绍了一些方式，其中签署在该国已形成不断变化的教育实践，和复杂的，多模式的语言接触。在不同的阶段，特立尼达和托巴哥手语受到BSL、ASL手工字母、ASL、英语和特立尼达英语克里奥尔语的影响。文章追溯了新形式的出现，现有形式的修改，以及其他形式的消失。它认为，了解语言的出现可以帮助澄清变异的问题，并纠正歪曲，抹去的Trinbagonian聋人社区的历史的重要方面。
Abstract:The emergence of a national sign language in Trinidad and Tobago can be traced back to the first deaf school, which was opened in the 1940s. This article describes some of the ways in which signing in the country has been shaped by changing educational practices, and complex, multi-modal language contact. At various stages, Trinidad and Tobago Sign Language has been influenced by BSL, the ASL manual alphabet, ASL, English, and Trinidad English Creole. The article traces the emergence of new forms, the modification of existing ones, and the disappearance of others. It argues that understanding the emergence of the language can help clarify issues of variation, and correct misrepresentations that erase important aspects of the history of the Trinbagonian Deaf community.
