本文探讨了聋人手语的多样性意味着在澳大利亚创造有效的在线手语翻译和语言理论更普遍。我们借鉴translanguaging和enregisterment文学描述的沟通实践和个人剧目的聋人Auslan签署，并problematise创建从英语到Auslan的翻译。我们还重新审视了聋人观众和翻译从业者的焦点小组研究结果，以确定现有翻译的关键要素，这些要素对许多聋人观众来说是有问题的，并阐明是什么使从英语翻译成澳大利亚语的行为对最需要这些翻译的签名者有效。一个主要的挑战是，由于语言学习环境和其他因素的变化，手语交流实践的内在混合性。相反，有符号的交流实践往往是由我们所说的“初现原则”所塑造的：为了理解特定的话语和时空语境，由在场的符号者并为在场的符号者不断地重新开发新的表达形式。这影响了登记的可能性，因此也影响了翻译。最后，我们提出了改进翻译的建议，以及对理解和研究手语的一些更广泛的影响。
This article explores what deaf signing diversity means for the creation of effective online signed language translations in Australia and for language theory more generally. We draw on the translanguaging and enregisterment literature to describe the communication practices and individual repertoires of deaf Auslan signers, and to problematise the creation of translations from English into Auslan. We also revisit findings from focus group research with deaf audiences and translation practitioners to identify key elements of existing translations that were problematic for many deaf viewers, and to illuminate what makes an act of translation from English into Auslan effective for signers who need these translations the most. One main challenge is the inherent hybridity of signed communication practices, resulting from variable language learning circumstances and other factors. Instead, signed communication practices are often shaped by what we refer to as the nascency principle: the perpetual redevelopment of new forms of expression for understanding the specific discourse and spatiotemporal context, by and for the signers who are physically present. This affects possibilities for enregisterment and therefore translations. We conclude with suggestions for improving translations and some broader implications for understanding and researching signed languages.
