Abstract:

This pioneering work on Indonesian Sign Language (BISINDO) explores the
linguistic and social factors that lie behind variation in the grammatical
domains of negation and completion. Using a corpus of spontaneous data from
signers in the cities of Solo and Makassar, Palfreyman applies an innovative
blend of methods from sign language typology and Variationist
Sociolinguistics, with findings that have important implications for our
understanding of grammaticalisation in sign languages. The book will be of
interest to linguists and sociolinguists, including those without prior
experience of sign language research, and to all who are curious about the
history of Indonesia’s urban sign community.

Nick Palfreyman is a Leverhulme Early Career Research Fellow at the
International Institute for Sign Languages and Deaf Studies (iSLanDS),
University of Central Lancashire.
