Abstract:

Current grammatical knowledge about particular sign languages is fragmentary
and of varying reliability, and it appears scattered in scientific
publications where the description is often intertwined with the analysis. In
general, comprehensive grammars are a rarity. The SignGram Blueprint is an
innovative tool for the grammar writer: a full-fledged guide to describing all
components of the grammars of sign languages in a thorough and systematic way,
and with the highest scientific standards.

The work builds on the existing knowledge in Descriptive Linguistics, but also
on the insights from Theoretical Linguistics. It consists of two main parts
running in parallel: the Checklist with all the grammatical features and
phenomena the grammar writer can address, and the accompanying Manual with the
relevant background information (definitions, methodological caveats,
representative examples, tests, pointers to elicitation materials and
bibliographical references). The areas covered are Phonology, Morphology,
Lexicon, Syntax and Meaning. The Manual is endowed with hyperlinks that
connect information across the work and with a pop-up glossary.

The SignGram Blueprint will be a landmark for the description of sign language
grammars in terms of quality and quantity.
