Abstract
Language, LIS. Data were collected from 10 cities spread across the country. 18 signers from each city have been recruited. They are native speakers of LIS or later-exposed to LIS and are divided into 3 age groups (19-38, 39-58, 59-78) of 6 signers each (3 males and 3 females). The methodology of data collection and transcription is similar to that used in previous studies of variation in American Sign Language (Lucas, Bayley & Valli 2001) and Australian Sign Language (Johnston & Schembri 2006), with some differences that we discuss. The corpus consists of various kinds of texts collected with different strategies: free conversation (45 minutes), elicited dialogues (about 5-10 minutes), narration (10 minutes) and a picture-naming task (42 items). For the transcription we adopted the ELAN software (Johnston & Crasborn 2006). Finally, a brief report on some preliminary results is presented.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
