Justin M. Power deposited Did deaf education and the emergence of American Sign Language trigger the decline of Martha’s Vineyard Sign Language? in the group
Linguistics on Humanities Commons 11 months, 2 weeks agoIn discussions of the history of American Sign Language (ASL), a village sign language—Martha’s Vineyard Sign Language (MVSL)—has been identified as a possible contributor to ASL and to its differentiation from French Sign Language (LSF; cf. Groce 1985: 73-74, Lane et al 2011: 76, Poole Nash 2015: 611). On this account, MVSL contributed to ASL t…[Read more]

Justin M. Power deposited Young children and the emergence of ASL: The age distribution of students at the American School for the Deaf, 1817–1867 in the group
Linguistics on Humanities Commons 11 months, 2 weeks agoYoung children are thought to play a unique role in the emergence and evolution of language. In research on language acquisition by a deaf child of late learners of ASL as well as in research on the emergence of new signed languages, young children have shown the ability to impose systematicity on relatively less systematic linguistic input…[Read more]

Justin M. Power deposited Evolutionary dynamics in the dispersal of sign languages in the group
Linguistics on Humanities Commons 3 years, 11 months agoWhile the evolution of spoken languages is well understood and has been studied using traditional historical comparative methods as well as newer computational phylogenetic methods, evolutionary processes resulting in the diversity of contemporary sign languages are poorly understood, and scholars have been largely unsuccessful in grouping sign…[Read more]
