In Sao Tome and Principe there are approximately five thousand deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals. Until recently, these people had no language to use among them other than basic home signs used only to communicate with their families. With this communication gap in mind, a project was set up to help them come together in a common space in order to create a dedicated environment for a common sign language to emerge. In less than two years, the first cohort began to sign and to develop a newly emerging sign language – the Sao Tome and Principe Sign Language (LGSTP). Signs were elicited by means of drawings and pictures and recorded from the beginning of the project. The emergent structures of signs in this new language were compared with those reported for other emergent sign languages such as the Al-Sayyid Bedouin Sign Language and the Lengua de Senas de Nicaragua, and several similarities were found at the first stage. In this preliminary study on the emergence of LGSTP, it was observed that, in its first stage, signs are mostly iconic and exhibit a greater involvement of the articulators and a larger signing space when compared with subsequent stages of LGSTP emergence and with other sign languages. Although holistic signs are the prevalent structure, compounding seems to be emerging. At this stage of emergence, OSV seems to be the predominant syntactic structure of LGSTP. Yet the data suggest that new signers exhibit difficulties in syntactic constructions with two arguments.
在圣多美和普林西比，大约有5000名聋人和重听人。直到最近，这些人除了用来与家人交流的基本家庭标志之外，没有其他语言。考虑到这种沟通差距，我们建立了一个项目，帮助他们聚集在一个公共空间，为共同的手语创造一个专用的环境。在不到两年的时间里，第一批学生开始使用手语并发展一种新兴的手语——圣多美和普林西比手语(LGSTP)。标志是通过图纸和图片引出的，并从项目一开始就记录下来。我们将这种新语言中出现的符号结构与其他出现的手语(如Al-Sayyid贝都因手语和Lengua de Senas de Nicaragua手语)进行了比较，在第一阶段发现了一些相似之处。在这项关于LGSTP出现的初步研究中，我们观察到，与LGSTP出现的后续阶段和其他手语相比，在其第一阶段，符号大多是标志性的，表现出更多的发音者参与和更大的签名空间。虽然整体标志是普遍的结构，复合似乎正在出现。在出现的这个阶段，OSV似乎是LGSTP的主要语法结构。然而，数据表明，新签名者在有两个论点的句法结构方面表现出困难。

This thesis offers a description of the Bouakako Sign Language (LaSiBo, Langues des Signes de Bouakako in French), that has emerged within a community comprising a majority of hearing members. LaSiBo is a young language that has developed within a group of hearing-impaired community members to fulfill their communication needs, but is also used by other members of the village. The aspects studied here are firstly the formal properties of LaSiBo and inter-personal variation in sign usage; as well as semantic domains such as kinship, colors and time. The size of the community, the age of the language, the influence of the spoken language and the absence of use in education are among the factors that influence the formation of LaSiBo. The comparisons carried out in this work highlight similarities and differences not only between sign languages (used in small communities in particular) – which, however different they may be, share the same modality (visio-gestural) –, but also between languages that are in contact with each other (the Dida language and LaSiBo) but use different modality (respectively audio-oral and visio-gestural).
这篇论文提供了对Bouakako手语(LaSiBo，法语:Langues des Signes de Bouakako)的描述，这种语言在一个由大多数听力成员组成的社区中出现。拉西博语是一种年轻的语言，在一群听障社区成员中发展起来，以满足他们的交流需求，但村里的其他成员也使用这种语言。本文研究的内容主要包括:手语的形式属性和符号使用中的人际变异;以及亲属关系、颜色和时间等语义领域。社区的规模、语言的年龄、口语的影响以及在教育中不使用这些语言都是影响LaSiBo形成的因素。在这项工作中进行的比较不仅突出了手语之间的相似性和差异(特别是在小社区中使用的手语)-尽管它们可能不同，但具有相同的情态(视觉手势)-而且还突出了相互接触的语言(迪达语和拉西博语)之间的相似性和差异，但使用不同的情态(分别是视听和视觉手势)。

Metaphors in sign languages have been an important research topic in recent years, and Taub’s (2001) model of metaphor formation in signs has been influential in the field. In this paper, we analyze metaphors in signs of cognition and emotions in Russian Sign Language (RSL) and argue for a modification of Taub’s (2001) theory of metaphor. We demonstrate that metaphor formation in RSL uses a number of mechanisms: a concrete sign can acquire metaphorical meaning without change, a part of a sequential compound can acquire a metaphorical meaning, and a morpheme within a productive sign or a simultaneous compound can acquire a metaphorical meaning. All these processes have parallels in spoken languages, so we argue for a modality-independent model of metaphor formation where metaphorical mapping is divorced from iconicity.

In this paper, we investigate structural aspects of nominal modification in Italian Sign Language (LIS), a language with a relatively flexible word order. In order to tackle the issue, this study combines different approaches, including generalizations from typological universals on word order, their formal counterparts, and a variationist approach to language facts. Data come from the largest corpus of LIS currently available. Despite the absence of categorical rules, our mixed approach shows that LIS data are consistent with the general tenets of nominal modification. Results from the statistical analysis indicate that the attested language-internal variability is constrained both by linguistic and social factors. Specifically, a fine-grained structure of nominal modification is able to capture the internal variability of LIS. Processing effects, age, gender, and early exposure to the language also play a relevant role in determining order preferences.
