Abstract:
Typological studies require a broad range of linguistic data from a variety of
countries, especially developing nations whose languages are under-researched.
This is especially challenging for investigations of sign languages, because
there are no existing corpora for most of them, and some are completely
undocumented. To examine three cross-linguistically fruitful semantic fields
in sign languages from a typological perspective for the first time, a
detailed questionnaire was generated and distributed worldwide through emails,
mailing lists, websites and the newsletter of the World Federation of the Deaf
(WFD). This resulted in robust data on kinship, colour and number in 32 sign
languages across the globe, 10 of which are revealed in depth within this
volume. These comprise languages from Europe, the Americas and the
Asia-Pacific region, including Indonesian sign language varieties, which are
rarely studied. Like other volumes in this series, this book will be
illuminative for typologists, students of linguistics and deaf studies,
lecturers, researchers, interpreters, and sign language users who travel
internationally.
