Abstract:

Jordan Fenlon and Julie A. Hochgesang present a revolutionary
contribution to the field of signed language linguistics with Signed
Language Corpora, the first volume to provide a comprehensive overview
of the creation, development, and use of signed language corpora. This
work will advance discussions on corpus linguistics as a methodology
and its place in signed language linguistics research.

The ability to search corpora to obtain information about the
frequency of patterns in language is an important step forward for
signed language research. Access to large datasets will expand
scholarly understandings of signed language structure in ways never
before possible. Through reflective discussions on the processes of
creating, using, and utilizing corpora, the editors and contributors
hope that other linguists will be inspired to take similar steps. The
descriptions provided in this book have been written to provide a
framework for those eager to develop or make use of signed language
corpora for their respective signed language varieties. Creating
signed language corpora is significant not only for linguistic
research, but for the long-term preservation of collected texts that
include the stories and histories of signed language communities.

Additional areas of focus include the use of signed language corpora
in applied settings, the ethics of working with signed language
communities, and the future of this methodology in research.
