This manual covers the International Review of Sign Linguistics, Volume 1, published on June 17, 2013. This annual series is dedicated to presenting the most current scholarly research across all facets of sign language linguistics. It serves as a vital and authoritative platform for the international community of sign linguists, addressing the need for a dedicated outlet for research findings. The publication aims to fill a void in the linguistic analysis of sign languages, distinguishing itself from related fields such as deaf education or interpreter training, and fostering a central hub for linguistic discourse on sign language structure.
The scope of this manual encompasses a broad spectrum of linguistic areas, signed languages, and theoretical viewpoints. It includes articles focusing on the lexicon, morphology, phonology, syntax, pragmatics, prosody, metalinguistic concerns, and socio-historical changes within signed languages. The content features contributions on five distinct signed languages: American, German, Australian, French, and Israeli. This resource is designed to keep linguists informed of the latest advancements in sign linguistics and to provide a focal point for scattered research communities, promoting the growth and development of the field.
The International Review of Sign Linguistics -- which replaces the International Journal of Sign Linguistics -- is planned as an annual series publishing the most up-to-date scholarly work in all aspects of sign language linguistics. There is no other comparable publication. The international community of sign linguists needs an authoritative outlet for its research findings. IRSL provides this forum for sign linguists, and for those mainstream linguists increasingly interested in sign languages, by filling the void in linguistic analysis of sign language -- as opposed to other concerns, such as deaf education, teaching sign languages, training interpreters, etc. -- and by pulling together in one place linguistic dialogue on sign language structure. It provides a scholarly focus for all linguists who need to remain current with developments in sign linguistics. For the growing international community, IRSL provides a focus for developments within the field and for advancement of the field in scattered research communities.
This review contains seven articles covering a wide range of linguistic areas, signed languages, and theoretical perspectives. Papers deal with the lexicon, morphology, phonology, syntax, pragmatics, prosody, metalinguistic issues, and socio-historical change. Five signed languages are represented including American, German, Australian, French, and Israeli.
