在这篇文章中，我们试图定义与手语相关的“词位”概念。我们首先将手势定义为一种独特的视觉-手势交际行为，不同于手势的其他交际用途。接着讨论了手语中最重要的几种生产形式，简称手语。这些符号的构成方面与它们的意义之间的密切关系也被讨论和举例说明。然后我们描述了将词位识别为符号子集的标准，以及区分变体和修饰形式的标准。文章最后讨论了词位概念对我们理解手语词汇和手语词典编纂的影响。
In this paper we attempt to define the notion of ‘lexeme’ in relation to signed languages. We begin by defining signs as a distinct kind of visual-gestural communicative act, different from other communicative uses of gesture. This is followed by a discussion of the most important categories of productive forms in signed languages, referred to simply as signs. The close relationship between the formational aspects of these signs and their meaning is also discussed and exemplified. We then describe the criteria for recognizing lexemes as a subset of signs, and distinguishing variant and modified forms. The paper concludes with a discussion of the implications the notion of lexeme has for our understanding of the lexicon of signed languages and for signed language lexicography.
