While some selected aspects of Russian Sign Language (RSL) have recently been researched, many topics in the grammar of RSL remain un(der)studied and nothing is known about fingerspelling or mouthing in RSL. This project aims at providing the first detailed corpus-based description of these two phenomena in RSL and showing how they bear on current debates regarding their linguistic status in sign languages. Due to particular aspects of the visual-gestural modality, fingerspelling and mouthing are specific cases of language contact that do not have a direct equivalent in spoken languages. Inasmuch as fingerspelling and mouthing constitute cross-modal language contact phenomena, this study will provide further insights into the interaction of three different modalities (sign, speech and writing) and the grammatical system(s) underlying this interaction. The project gains insights into how the spoken and written Russian, in the form of mouthing and fingerspelling, combines with and affects RSL. The processes of nativization of fingerspelled words of the Russian manual alphabet into the sign language lexicon will be tested according to the cross-linguistic nativization model. By investigating the co-occurrence and variation of mouthings on the basis of a set of frequently occurring signs in RSL, the project will shed light on the linguistic status of mouthings. The occurrences of fingerspelling and mouthing will be investigated as they are produced by and between native RSL signers in the recently created RSL Corpus (2012-2015, Novosibirsk State Technical University, Russia) containing more than 100,000 signs in 230 video clips presented by 59 native RSL signers. The project adds significantly to the documentation of RSL, contributes to the debate on the linguistic status of mouthing and fingerspelling in sign language grammar, and discusses how these two phenomena suit the existing phonological and morphological models in the sign language and bimodal bilingualism research.

尽管最近研究了俄罗斯手语（RSL）的一些选定方面，但RSL语法中的许多主题仍在研究中，对RSL中的手指或介绍一无所知。该项目旨在提供对RSL中这两种现象的第一个详细的基于语料库的描述，并展示了它们在当前有关其语言语言语言状态的辩论中的持续存在。由于视觉掌控方式的特定方面，手指和介绍是语言接触的特定案例，在语言中没有直接等效的语言。随着手指的手指和介绍构成了跨模式的接触现象，这项研究将进一步见解三种不同方式（符号，语音和写作）和这种相互作用的语法系统的相互作用。该项目获得了对口语和书面俄语的方式，以口语和手指的形式结合并影响RSL。俄罗斯手册字母的手指单词对手语词典的纳入过程将根据跨语言的解雇模型进行测试。通过根据RSL中的一组经常出现的迹象研究嘴巴的同时发生和变化，该项目将阐明嘴巴的语言状态。由于最近创建的RSL语料库（2012-2015，Novosibirsk State Inseaction，Russia，Novosibirsk State University，Russia）在230个视频夹中包含100,000多个符号的本机RSL签名者在230张剪辑中，由59个本机RSL签名者在59个本机RSL签名中包含超过100,000个迹象，因此将研究手指和介绍的发生。该项目大大增加了RSL的文档，在手语语法中对口语和手指的语言状态的辩论有助于辩论，并讨论了这两种现象如何适合手语和双峰双林主义研究中现有的语音和形态模型。
