摘要本文分析了加纳南部一个“共享手语社区”Adamorobe的手语意识形态。Adamorobe Sign Language（AdaSL）是一种“共享手语”，所有聋人和大量听力正常的阿肯人都使用。来自Adamorobe的聋哑学童在一所教授加纳手语的学校上学。听力受访者有经验的知识，一切都可以说在AdaSL，强调AdaSL和Akan的共同根源，并称AdaSL“自然”。聋人对话者将阿肯语、AdaSL和GSL描述为三种不同但等价的语言。AdaSL被认为是一种“硬”语言，使用起来更愉快，比GSL更有表现力，但符号双语性受到高度重视。这些调查结果进行了比较，并与其他共享的手语和更大的城市/国家手语的语言意识形态的帐户。（语言意识形态、语言实践、加纳、加纳手语、Adamorobe手语、阿肯语、共享手语、共享手语社区、村庄手语）*
Abstract This article analyzes language ideologies with regard to sign language in Adamorobe, a “shared signing community” in southern Ghana. Adamorobe Sign Language (AdaSL) is a “shared sign language,” used by all deaf people and a large number of hearing Akan-speaking people. Deaf schoolchildren from Adamorobe attend a school where Ghanaian Sign Language (GSL) is taught. Hearing interviewees have experiential knowledge that everything can be said in AdaSL, emphasise the shared roots of AdaSL and Akan, and called AdaSL “natural.” Deaf interlocutors describe Akan, AdaSL, and GSL as three distinct but equivalent languages. AdaSL is said to be a “hard” language, more pleasant to use, and more expressive than GSL, but sign bilingualism is highly valued. These findings are compared and contrasted with accounts on language ideologies with regard to other shared sign languages and larger urban/national sign languages.
