地理学的关系转向使人们认识到空间和地点是人们日常生活中积极产生的因素。地理学家也早就认识到语言在理解空间的社会和关系性质方面的重要性。美国手语（ASL）的研究提供了一个独特的机会，研究语言使用和语言创造如何影响语言空间的产生。对于ASL的用户来说，空间非常重要。由于手语的视觉和空间特性，手语者身体周围的空间不仅对手语者的交流很重要，而且对参与谈话的其他人也很重要。在ASL对话过程中创造的环境反映了美国聋人社区的文化和语言感知。通过对空间生产的批判性观点，将表明那些使用ASL的人，通过身体表现的媒介，创造了动态和视觉的语言和交流空间。美国手语和聋人社区的具体语言是地理学家尚未解决的问题。
ABSTRACT The relational turn in geography has led to an understanding of space and place as actively produced agents in people’s everyday lives. Geographers have also long recognized the importance of language in understanding the social and relational nature of space. The study of American Sign Language (ASL) presents a unique opportunity to examine how language use and language creation influence the production of linguistic space. For users of ASL, space is incredibly significant. Because of the visual and spatial nature of ASL, the space surrounding a signer’s body is important not only for the signer to communicate, but also for others involved in the conversation to participate. Environments created during conversations in ASL reflect the cultural and linguistic perception of the American Deaf community. By taking a critical perspective on the production of space, it will be shown that those who use ASL, through the medium of bodily performance, create linguistic, and communication spaces that are dynamic and visual. The embodied language of ASL and the Deaf community is a perspective geographers have yet to address.
