Abstract:
This book examines sociolinguistic, educational and psycholinguistic factors
that shape the path to sign bilingualism in deaf individuals and contributes
to a better understanding of the specific characteristics of a type of
bilingualism that is neither territorial nor commonly the result of
parent-to-child transmission. The evolution of sign bilingualism at the
individual level is discussed from a developmental linguistics perspective on
the basis of a longitudinal investigation of deaf learners' bilingual
acquisition of German sign language (DGS) and German.
The case studies included in this volume offer unique insights into bilingual
deaf learners’ sign language and written language productions, and the
sophisticated nature of the bilingual competence they attain. Commonalities
and differences between sign bilingual language development in deaf learners
and language development in other language acquisition scenarios are
identified on the basis of a dynamic model of change in the evolution of
(learner) language, with a focus on the role of language contact in the
organisation of multilingual knowledge and the scope of inter- and
intra-individual variation in learner grammars. In many respects, as becomes
apparent throughout the chapters of this work, sign bilingualism represents
not only a challenge but also a resource. Given this cross-disciplinary
perspective, the insights on bilingualism and deafness in this volume will be
of interest to a wide range of researchers and professionals.
