International Sign (IS) is widely used among deaf people and
interpreters at international events, but what exactly is it, what
are its linguistic features, where does its lexicon come from, and
how is it used at interpreted events? This groundbreaking
collection is the first volume to provide answers to these
questions. Editors Rachel Rosenstock and Jemina Napier have
assembled an international group of renowned linguists and
interpreters to examine various aspects of International Sign.
Their contributions are divided into three parts: International
Sign as a Linguistic System; International Sign in
Action--Interpreting, Translation, and Teaching; and International
Sign Policy and Language Planning. The chapters cover a range of
topics, including the morphosyntactic and discursive structures of
interpreted IS, the interplay between conventional linguistic
elements and nonconventional gestural elements in IS discourse, how
deaf signers who use different signed languages establish
communication, Deaf/hearing IS interpreting teams and how they sign
depicting verbs, how best to teach foundation-level IS skills,
strategies used by IS interpreters when interpreting from IS into
English, and explorations of the best ways to prepare interpreters
for international events. The work of the editors and contributors
in this volume makes International Sign the most comprehensive,
research-based analysis of a young but growing field in linguistics
and interpretation.
