Dissertation Abstract:

This dissertation presents new data from Kata Kolok, a sign language which 
emerged in a village community of North Bali, and has been the primary means of 
communication for at least five generations of  deaf, native signers (Marsaja 2008; 
this thesis). Supported by extensive periods of linguistic fieldwork, corpus analysis, 
as well as targetted, stimulus-based elicitation, it supports the claim that Kata Kolok 
signers structure their spatial reference system preferentially on the basis of 
geographical locations.
