Book Description
Seminar paper de l’année 2011 dans le domaine Science de Langue / Linguistique (interdisciplinaire), note: 1,0, Universität Konstanz, langue: Français, résumé: Le début du babillage vocal chez l’enfant avant qu’il ne soit capable de prononcer des mots distinguables est une caractéristique essentielle du développement humain et on est d’accord sur le fait qu’il est en con-tinuité avec l’acquisition postérieur du langage. P&M indiquent que si on considérait le babillage enfantin comme un phénomène qui est dû à la maturation de la capacité langagière et aux mécanismes articula-toires responsables de la parole, il apparaîtrait uniquement dans les langues parlées. On a cependant ob-servé qu’également les enfants sourds exposés à des langues des signes dès la naissance babillent, mais en langues des signes. P&M supposent donc que la capacité humaine de parler n’est pas exclusivement liée à des mécanismes de productions spécifiques à la parole. L’idée est de dire que si le babillage manuel en langue des signes avait les mêmes caractéristiques que le babillage vocal (syllabique) (p. ex. usage d’un échantillon réduit des sons possibles, organisation syllabique, pas de signification ou de référent apparent, éduplication, âge déterminé de début), le babillage résulterait de la maturation d’une capacité langagière neuronale et serait lié à une capacité expressive permettant le traitement de différents types de signales (parlés ou signés). Dans ce cas, le babillage vocal des enfants entendants représenterait l’équivalent du babillage vocal des enfants entendants. Les auteures se proposent à confirmer ces hypothèses en compa-rant les deux types de babillage.

Deaf Gain
Author: H-Dirksen L. Bauman
Publisher: U of Minnesota Press
ISBN: 1452942048
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 678
Book Description
Deaf people are usually regarded by the hearing world as having a lack, as missing a sense. Yet a definition of deaf people based on hearing loss obscures a wealth of ways in which societies have benefited from the significant contributions of deaf people. In this bold intervention into ongoing debates about disability and what it means to be human, experts from a variety of disciplines—neuroscience, linguistics, bioethics, history, cultural studies, education, public policy, art, and architecture—advance the concept of Deaf Gain and challenge assumptions about what is normal. Through their in-depth articulation of Deaf Gain, the editors and authors of this pathbreaking volume approach deafness as a distinct way of being in the world, one which opens up perceptions, perspectives, and insights that are less common to the majority of hearing persons. For example, deaf individuals tend to have unique capabilities in spatial and facial recognition, peripheral processing, and the detection of images. And users of sign language, which neuroscientists have shown to be biologically equivalent to speech, contribute toward a robust range of creative expression and understanding. By framing deafness in terms of its intellectual, creative, and cultural benefits, Deaf Gain recognizes physical and cognitive difference as a vital aspect of human diversity.

Trubetzkoy's Orphan
Author: Rajendra Singh
Publisher: John Benjamins Publishing
ISBN: 902727620X
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 379
Book Description
In putting ‘morphonology’ up for adoption as a chapitre particulier in 1929, Trubetzkoy started a debate regarding the boundary between phonology and morphology that has not ended yet. Essentially a record of a roundtable devoted to that boundary (Montréal, October 1994), Trubetzkoy’s Orphan is a full and fascinating picture of some very important contemporary attempts to define it. In addition to papers that focus on it, the volume also contains important papers on the closely related topics of ‘morphoprosody’ and the ‘lexicon’, views from ‘the floor’ and ‘the outside’, and edited transcripts of the discussions that took place at the Montréal Roundtable. Intended both for practicising and future phonologists and morpho-logists, Trubetzkoy’s Orphan is a valuable record of a very important debate regarding one of the most central questions in phonology and morphology.

The Reality of Linguistic Rules
Author: Susan D. Lima
Publisher: John Benjamins Publishing
ISBN: 902728203X
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 506
Book Description
This volume presents a selection of the best papers from the 21st Annual University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Linguistics Symposium. Researchers from linguistics, psychology, computer science, and philosophy, using many different methods and focusing on many different facts of language, addressed the question of the existence of linguistic rules. Are such rules best seen as convenient tools for the description of languages, or are rules actually invoked by individual language users? Perhaps the most serious challenge to date to the linguistic rule is the development of connectionist architecture. Indeed, these systems must be viewed as a serious challenge to the foundations of all of contemporary linguistics. Four broad themes emerged from the Milwaukee conference, corresponding to the four parts of the volume. Part I centers on arguments for the existence of symbolic rules in linguistic competence and performance. Part II contains arguments against symbolic rules, presenting connectionist models and other alternatives to the symbolic paradigm. Parts III and IV take up two issues that are central to a number of language researchers: Language acquisition and learnability, and modularity. These issues are addressed from within both rule-based and non-rule-based perspectives. Contributors: Farrell Ackerman, Michael Barlow, Catherine Best, David Corina, Roberta Corrigan, Kim Daugherty, Bruce Derwing, Jeff Elman, Alice Faber, John Goldsmith, Helen Goodluck, Neil Jacobs, Richard Janda, Brian Joseph, Michael Kac, Alan Kawamoto, Suzanne Kemmer, Susan Lima, Brian MacWhinney, Steven Pinker, Alan Prince, Gerald Sanders, Hinrich Schutze, Mark Seidenberg, Royal Skousen, Nicholas Sobin, Joseph Stemberger, Gregory Stone, Ann Thyme, Robert Van Valin.

The Social Condition of Deaf People
Author: Sara Trovato
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3110763141
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 465
Book Description
This book is about the social condition of Deaf people, told through a Deaf woman’s autobiography and a series of essays investigating how hearing societies relate to Deaf people. Michel Foucault described the powerful one as the beholder who is not seen. This is why a Deaf woman’s perspective is important: Minorities that we don’t even suspect we have power over observe us in turn. Majorities exert power over minorities by influencing the environment and institutions that simplify or hinder lives: language, mindsets, representations, norms, the use of professional power. Based on data collected by Eurostat, this volume provides the first discussion of statistics on the condition of Deaf people in a series of European countries, concerning education, labor, gender. This creates a new opportunity to discuss inequalities on the basis of data. The case studies in this volume reconstruct untold moments of great advancement in Deaf history, successful didactics supporting bilingualism, the reasons why Deaf empowerment for and by Deaf people does and does not succeed. A work of empowerment is effective if it acts on a double level: the community to be empowered and society at large, resulting in a transformation of society as a whole. This book provides instruments to work towards such a transformation.
