In this course, we will discuss the differences and similarities between signed and spoken languages. We will discuss the properties signed languages with a focus on Danish Sign Language (DSL), but also on American Sign Language (ASL), and Australian Sign Language (AUSLAN). We will examine the structure of signed languages from a bottom-up perspective, i.e. from the form structure in sign phonology, to the structure of words (morphology) and phrases (syntax). What effects are modality-dependent and modality-independent in signed vs. spoken languages?
Furthermore, there will be an introduction to sociolinguistic perspectives of deaf communities, including bilingualism and language contact phenomena such as lexical borrowing, code-switching, and code-mixing. We will also discuss language attitudes and take a look at language policy and planning.
Finally, we will take a look at research methods, including data gathering and analysis and the history of research on signed languages. For the analysis of the data a brief introduction to the linguistic annotation program ELAN will be given. The course is aimed at students with no prior knowledge of sign linguistics.
