"Rethinking Double Articulation in Signed Languages: Implications for the 
Design of Phonetic Notation Systems"

Résumé :
In the 1950’s William Stokoe introduced the idea that signs contain a
sublexical structure, consisting of cheremes that function in much the same
way that phonemes function in spoken languages.  The cheremic principle
argues that a set of several oppositional parameters of sign formation
combine simultaneously to create the meaningful units of the language
without the use of sequential contrast.  The purported absence of sequence
does not interfere with the claim that ASL has a form of double
articulation, demonstrated by the existence of minimal pairs of signs. This
view remains the prominent and most-stated perspective on the structure of
ASL and other signed languages. Beginning with the notion of double
articulation of spoken languages, I will demonstrate that claims of
“duality” for signed languages typically misrepresent the fundamental
concepts of opposition, contrast, and phoneme.  Drawing on these
observations, I will show that dual patterning does in fact exist in sign
languages, but that its notice requires an approach to phonetic
representation that recognizes sequences of all formational properties of
signs.  I will show the elements of a system of phonetic representation,
addressing issues of abstractness of representation in phonetics that grow
from the need to represent sequence.
