About this course
This course aims to
integrate the history of ideas about American Sign Language (ASL) with research
that has been done on the structure, learning, and historical change of ASL and
other sign languages.
- Structure is crucial
to languages. There are several layers of grammatical structure in all
languages. We will learn about these and examine how sign languages are
structured;
- Learning is how
children and adults acquire the ability to understand and use a sign language;
- Change takes place
over time in all languages. Recent research on historical change in ASL and
other sign languages has begun to reveal how sign languages come into existence
and how they change as they are used over generations among deaf and hearing
users. We will look at historical change in depth, especially the historical
heritage of ASL.
This course is a
four-week self-paced course. Lecture videos are delivered in ASL with English
subtitles and voiceover. The course will introduce all of these students to the
science of sign language research and, for fluent ASL signers, the history and structure
of their own language. It will also expose students at the intermediate
level to the fields of linguistics and the cognitive sciences.
