A Life of Science
Many linguists choose their discipline because of childhood experiences with languages. I had grown up using American Sign Language and had spent my childhood with Deaf people, but I had no models of how to become a linguist working with sign languages. This area of linguistics was just coming into being, and my models were other scientists who were just as new to this field as I was. This is not a complete account of my work over the course of m…
Attitudes and experiences regarding preventive strategies for the deaf population in Western New York
People for whom English is a second language, such as the deaf population, often have unequal access to health information and low health literacy. In the context of a wider study on risk of tick-borne illness in deaf communities, we explored barriers, opportunities, and nuances to accessible health information and communication among deaf people. Semi-structured qualitative individual and group interviews were conducted with 40 deaf people in up…
Deaf Children Need Rich Language Input from the Start
Bilingual bimodalism is a great benefit to deaf children at home and in schooling. Deaf signing children perform better overall than non-signing deaf children, regardless of whether they use a cochlear implant. Raising a deaf child in a speech-only environment can carry cognitive and psycho-social risks that may have lifelong adverse effects. For children born deaf, or who become deaf in early childhood, we recommend comprehensible multimodal lan…
Emerging Sign Languages
The emergence of sign language is of special interest because sign languages are the only human languages that can emerge de novo at any time
Avoiding Linguistic Neglect of Deaf Children
Deaf children who are not provided with a sign language early in their development are at risk of linguistic deprivation; they may never be fluent in any language, and they may have deficits in cognitive activities that rely on a firm foundation in a first language. These children are socially and emotionally isolated. Deafness makes a child vulnerable to abuse, and linguistic deprivation compounds the abuse because the child is less able to repo…
Ensuring language acquisition for deaf children
Parents of small deaf children need guidance on constructing home and school environments that affect normal language acquisition. They often turn to physicians and spiritual leaders and, increasingly, the internet. These sources can be underinformed about crucial issues, such as matters of brain plasticity connected to the risk of linguistic deprivation, and delay or disruption in the development of cognitive skills interwoven with linguistic ab…
Patterned iconicity in sign language lexicons
Iconicity is an acknowledged property of both gesture and sign language. In contrast to the familiar definition of iconicity as a correspondence between individual forms and their referents, we explore iconicity as a shared property among groups of signs, in what we call patterned iconicity . In this paper, we focus on iconic strategies used by hearing silent gesturers and by signers of three unrelated sign languages in an elicitation task featur…
Competing iconicities in the structure of languages
The paper examines the role that iconicity plays in the structuring of grammars. Two main points are argued for: (a) Grammar does not necessarily suppress iconicity; rather, iconicity and grammar can enjoy a congenial relation in that iconicity can play an active role in the structuring of grammars. (b) Iconicity is not monolithic. There are different types of iconicity and languages take advantage of the possibilities afforded by them. We examin…
Language acquisition for deaf children
Children acquire language without instruction as long as they are regularly and meaningfully engaged with an accessible human language. Today, 80% of children born deaf in the developed world are implanted with cochlear devices that allow some of them access to sound in their early years, which helps them to develop speech. However, because of brain plasticity changes during early childhood, children who have not acquired a first language in the …
The influence of community on language structure
By comparing two sign languages of approximately the same age but which arose and developed under different social circumstances, we are able to identify possible relationships between social factors and language structure. We argue that two structural properties of these languages are related to the size and the heterogeneity versus homogeneity of their respective communities: use of space in grammatical structure and degree of lexical and suble…
Sign language verb agreement and the ontology of morphosyntactic categories
Inflectional morphology is of interest to syntacticians and morphologists alike because inflection provides a tangible window into syntactic categories.The very term morphosyntactic category denotes a category of a language that is identified on the basis of morphology that operates in the syntax.Where do such categories come from?We will call this the question of the ontology of morphosyntactic categories.Lillo-Martin and Meier (henceforth LM&M)…
The gradual emergence of phonological form in a new language
The emergence of complexity in prosody and syntax
Body as subject
The notion of subject in human language has a privileged status relative to other arguments. This special status is manifested in the behavior of subjects at the morphological, syntactic, semantic and discourse levels. Here we bring evidence that subjects have privileged status at the lexical level as well, by analyzing lexicalization patterns of verbs in three different sign languages. Our analysis shows that the sublexical structure of iconic s…
Inside Deaf Culture
The emergence of grammar
This report contains a linguistic description of a language created spontaneously without any apparent external influence in a stable existing community. We describe the syntactic structure of Al-Sayyid Bedouin Sign Language, a language that has arisen in the last 70 years in an isolated endogamous community with a high incidence of nonsyndromic, genetically recessive, profound prelingual neurosensory deafness. In the space of one generation from…
Simultaneous Interpreting across Modalities
In this paper I examine simultaneous sign language interpreting with a focus on two dimensions: interpreting between languages of different modalities, and interpreting between two different languages. As I discuss, there is interplay between the two: At times, the task at hand is modality-driven, and at other times, structure-driven. When sign language interpreters are at work, the two dimensions come together in interesting ways, and as I will …
Forbidden Signs
Deaf
Natives and Newcomers
This article describes a residential school classroom for deaf third‐graders. A critical school skill, the ability to engage in literacy activities, grows from the ability to exploit American Sign Language‐based (ASL) literacy practices. These practices are indigenous to the culture of signing Deaf people and are critical for literacy learning when ASL is the medium of instruction

American Sign Language and the architecture of phonological theory
On looking into words (and beyond)
On Looking into Words is a wide-ranging volume spanning current research into word structure and morphology, with a focus on historical linguistics and linguistic theory. The papers are offered as a tribute to Stephen R. Anderson, the Dorothy R. Diebold Professor of Linguistics at Yale, who is retiring at the end of the 2016-2017 academic year. The contributors are friends, colleagues, and former students of Professor Anderson, all important cont…
