Overview of Chinese Sign Language
College of International Studies, Southwest University, Chongqing 400715, China
| Abstract: | Research of Sign Language as an independent language began with William Stockoe (1960)'s study of American Sign Language. Applying linguistic frameworks to American Sign Language, he confirmed that Sign Language meets linguistic standards in phonetics, syntax, etc. Sign Linguistics has become an important branch of linguistics as his theory has been fully established by other sign languages. The study of Chinese Sign Language is relatively in the incubation stage now. In this paper, I outline the current situation of the study on Chinese Sign Language, thus expanding the scope of Chinese linguistics. The study of Chinese Sign Language itself will deepen the understanding of human natural language and also improve the understanding of Spoken Chinese through comparative studies with Spoken Chinese. Furthermore, a comparative study between Chinese Sign Language and other sign languages is expected in the future. |
