18th IPrA 2023 panel abstract:

Since Stokoe et. al’s (1965) groundbreaking work on American Sign Language,
five decades of research on signed language (SL) have remained heavily focused
on syntax and the lexicon at the expense of other, less conventionalized
practices. Initially limited by technology (i.e., filming equipment and the
means of processing and analyzing videos), most SL studies relied on field
observations or elicited data “from small numbers of signers, monologic
retellings and/or spontaneous narratives” (Hodge et al., 2019).

Today, scholars record and analyze signing via video. However, with a few
exceptions (e.g., de Vos et al., 2015; Lepeut & Shaw, 2022; Manrique, 2016;
Mesch, 2016; Ferrara, 2020), little work has been conducted on pragmatic and
interactional mechanisms of signed discourse, particularly in face-to-face
conversations. As raised by Baker and van den Bogaerde (2012), some “aspects
[of signed interactions] have not been studied at all [...]. It will be a
challenge of the next decade to broaden our knowledge in this area” (p. 490). 

This panel will respond to the call to broaden our knowledge of SL
interactions by shifting focus away from single-signer datasets. We are
particularly interested in featuring studies that consider the semiotic
diversity of language in interaction via diverse methods (from corpus
linguistics to ethnomethodological conversation analysis (EMCA)). In addition,
we will call for contributions that focus on interactional practices that
regulate the flow of signed conversations, including (but not limited to)
these questions:

- What embodied practices regulate turn-taking in signed discourse (e.g., the
active participation of addressees through backchannels and/or repair
sequences)?
- What joint actions do participants engage in when overlapping signing?
- What methodological tools can be drawn from EMCA to further pragmatic
analyses of multimodal data? How can we expand transcription methods to
include multimodal data?
- How does the study of SL interaction in diverse contexts advance our
understanding of language as a pluri-semiotic phenomenon?

Panel Organizers: Dr. Alysson Lepeut (LSFB-Lab, NaLTT, University of Namur,
Belgium) & Dr. Emily Shaw (Gallaudet University, Washington DC)
