ShSL Lexicon

As mentioned earlier in Chapter 1, this study focuses on the

development of a multi-media lexicon of ShSL. :'The lexicon 1 consists of

the lexical items that belong to the lexical categories, each with its

phonological, semantic, and syntactic properties. It also contains rules of

word formation that delimit the class of lexical items and express items

from the lexicon into the abstract phrase markers generated by the

categorical component, giving the initial phrase markers". (Chomsky,

p.81)

4. 1 Lexical Expansion of ShSL Lexicon

Jepson (1991) in his study of urban and rural sign language in

India, points out that urban Indian sign language (UISL) is lexically rich

with a high degree of syntactic complexity. In contrast to this, rural

Indian sign languages (RISL) are syntactically limited, lexically

impoverished and do not have any productive mechanisms. He also

points out that, UISL utilizes two basic mechanisms for lexical expansion

namely, through the combination of two basic signs and through

borrowing from spoken language. In contrast to UISL, he points out that

RISL appears to possess only a limited syntax. In his corpus of RISL he

found only a few general regularities viz, verbs are sel}tence final and

that questions are marked by a question marker at the end of a

sentence and even this pattern is not rigidly followed. However, this is

not the case with ShSL. It is prevalent in the communication system of

young deaf signers in Shillong who are deprived of adult input of sign

language and therefore, there is the absence of a proper linguistic

model for young deaf children to follow. Their language possesses a high

degree of gestural communication. It is also the case with those Deaf

people2 who have no contact with the deaf community, and those who

have remained isolated with no education. However, ShSL data shows a

highly productive lexicon which is rapidly changin_g under the influence

of education and technology. It also shows a high degree of syntactic

complexity, which needs a further in- depth analysis.

The basic vocabulary of ShSL may be comparatively small and

some signs are not easily translated by a single word in English. This may

be the case with other rural sign languages as well. However ShSL, unlike

other rural sign languages, has the required means of expanding its

vocabulary based on the data collected. There ore thousands of

lexicalized signs in ShSL representing concepts of a full range of levels of

abstraction. You (1990) points out that "The lexicon of sign language

can be expanded in two ways: (a) by modifying the morphology of the

basic signs; (b) by combining two or more existing basic signs to form a

compound sign or a lexical pantomimic sequence to denote a notion or

object new to that language. These lexical improvisations might

become established as compound signs and they are further reduced

to complex signs or even simple monogesturol signs"3 (p.261 ). Similarly,

ShSL lexicon is expanded mainly through:

• the process of compounding,

2 This case of isolation of the deaf people was evident from one deaf person whom I happened to meet during the process of data collection. His name is Timothy and he is l9yrs of age. He had contact with other deaf people in the school for only a year at the age of ten and then he went back to his village. At present he is working in Sr.

Merley's school as a daily labourer.

• the process of morphological modification of basic signs. For

example, in the sign READ and STUDY, the difference between these

two signs is that STUDY is signed with a repeated movement of the

Handshapes up-down, including the NMA feature of eye gaze

fixation on the handshapes. The sign READ is c,:m initialised sign, which

also has the some location and one single movement but it excludes

the NMA features.

• the process of utilizing fingerspelling for proper names and referents

which have no appropriate sign. Fingerspellings for proper names or

referents can either be complete representation of all the alphabets

or con be in the form of Initialized signs as mentioned above. An

example of complete representation of fingerspellings is when all the

letters of a word is spelled out like in the word MARY is fingerspelled as

M-A-R-Y.

• the process of borrowing which is revealed in the presence of loan

signs in ShSL is usually done from English in the form of initialised signs,

(more details included in chapter 3) and

• the influence of other sign languages viz, the ASL and varieties of ISL

as used in some of the neighbouring states such as Assam, Mizoram,

and Nagaland (details included in chapter 3).

The process of word formation in ShSL is presented in this section.

Many new signs are created through an iconic association of meanings

which are represented through mime and gestures. As mentioned in

chapter 3, these new signs eventually developed into highly complex

signs. In ShSL the phonological units of each sign constitute one whole

meaning and a change or an addition in one of the phonological units

will give a different meaning. Stokoe (1960) demonstrated that ASL like

all other languages, combines meaningless elements to compose a

meaningful symbol. Similarly, any sign language including ShSL also

combines meaningless elements to form a single meaningful symbol.

Apart from the influence of iconicity in the process of word

formation in ShSL new signs are also created through a process of

compounding. A compound is a case of portmanteau formation. which

is a blend of two or more words or a blend of two or more function

words. Compounds are of two types viz, endocentric compounds and

exocentric compounds. Endocentric consist of a head, which is the

categorical part that contains the basic meaning of the whole

compound, and modifiers which restrict this meaning. They are also of

the same word class. Exocentric compounds do not have a head, their

meaning is not transparent. and they are usually not of the same word

class. In spoken languages, the rules of formation of compounds are

different from one language to another. The same is with sign

languages. Compounds are formed in a combination of Noun + Noun,

Noun+ Verb, Verb+ Verb, Adjective+ Noun, Adjective+ Adjectives, etc.

Compounding is one of the productive devices in the expansion of ShSL

Lexicon. ShSL exhibits the following types of combination which are

illustrated below:

Based on the ShSL data, fingerspellings also play a major role in

inventing new signs, which are mostly proper names. The data also

reveals that compounds in ShSL came into existence by combining

single signs which already exist in the lexicon. These combinations may

reflect directly the meanings of its constituent part~. However, there are

compounds that do not directly reflect the meanings of its parts.

Therefore, two different and unrelated words can combine to form a

whole new meaning. ShSL data shows that compounds have two/three

HS, two/three different Locations, and two/three different Orientations.

4.2 Syntactic Structures of ShSL

Stokoe4 (1980) points out that "sign language grammar has its

own rules as well as its own lexicon of signs with different meanings; and

the rules and lexicon of ASL differ from the rules and lexicon of English"

(p. 20). Zeshan (2003) in her description of Indo-Pakistani Sign Language

(IPSL) classified lexemes into two major classes and these are open word

class and close lexical classes. The open word class are further sub­

divided into three different classes: " (a) signs that cannot be modified in

space, (b) signs whose place of articulation can change, and (c)

directional signs" (p-161 ). Similarly, this study will present the lexicon

according these three classes of lexemes.

The syntactic structure of ISL is given in all the four dictionaries

developed by Vasistha, Woodward and Wilson (1978, et.al) that focus

on the four major cities of India. All sign languages in the world follow

systematic rule-governed structures. It is generally believed that there

are unique sets of rules for making a sentence in ISL just as there are

distinct sets of rules for making a sentence in spoken languages like

Hindi, English, etc. The focus of the present study is the lexicon and the

sign language dictionary. I do understand that even for a lexicon some

basic understanding of the syntactic structure of the language is

essential. In this section, a brief syntactic analysis and description of ShSL

is being written separately. The following points sum up some of the

syntactic features of the language. An understanding of these features

is absolutely essential to be able to appreciate the structure of the

dictionary provided.

A. Word-order:

A striking feature of ShSL is the word -order. The following points

show how the word order in sign language is different from the spoken

languages.

l. In ShSL subjects are placed before the verbs in sentences. i.e. the

subjects always preceded the verbs For example,

i. In ShSL: Masc Index eye-gaze---------3rd PER -M-A-R-Y -LOVE

HE MARY LOVE

He loves Mary

ii. Index self--------Index 2nd PER- LOVE

I YOU LOVE

I love you

2. Word order shows which element is the subject and which is the

object. In ShSL the word order is 'Subject object and verb' (SOV).

Given below are a few examples with single and double objects:

i. In ShSL: MANGO--Masc Index eye-gaze---------3rd PER CL5 EAT

mouth open

MANGO HE EAT

He eats a mango

• In ShSL: CLB self------SISTER -BOOK---Index self give:j5

My SISTER I BOOK I GIVE

I give the book to my sister

3. Negatives in ShSL also occur at the end of the sentence. For

example,

• In ShSL: Index se/f-----SCHOOL---1 ndex down--GO: d6 __ _

· Neg:hm7:shake

I SCHOOL TODAY GO NO

I will not go to school today

4. WH-questions are usually placed at the end of a sentence. WH­

questions are also accompanied with the Non-manual features i.e.

the 'raised brow'. WH-questions are compounded. These are

illustrated as follows:

i. In ShSL: 2ndPer:j-NAME Wh-CL5 raised brow

YOUR NAME WHAT?

What is your name?

ii. Index :j ---2nd Per-PLACE Wh-CL5 raised brow

YOU PLACE + WHERE?

Where are you from?

iii. lndex:j------2nd Per-- Index semicircle (fst)Fut--COME Wh 1-- Index

Loc-

YOU TOMORROW COME TIME WHEN?

At what time you will come tomorrow?

5 Referent is receiving the action in the spatial location.

6 Directional signs

7 Head shake movement

5. Like the WH-questions, the NMA feature 'raised brow' also occurs

with Yes/No questions. Yes/No questions are also sentence final. For

example;

2ndPer: j-MOTHER HOME: y-nqB

YOUR MOTHER HOME?

Is your mother at home?

The Non Manual features of 'Head nod' and 'Head shake' play a

vital role in question sentences. For example, a head nod is sufficient

for a sign YES, and a head shake from side to side is sufficient for a

sign NO, but in a sign sentence these NMA features ore obligatory.

6. The order of adjectives is different from one language to another. In

ShSL adjectives are place after the noun, except for colour

adjectives, which is similar to ISL. For example:

i. Index Face----BEAUTIFUL

SHE BEAUTIFUL

She is beautiful

ii. Index self---- BLUE RIBBON CLV

I BLUE RIBBON CUT

I cut the blue ribbons

B. Simultaneity of the Signs:

Just as the word order is important, in sign languages it is

important to note that there are signs occurring simultaneously like the

prosodic features occurring together with segmental in spoken

languages. A single word is a combination of sound segments

according to the syllable structure pertaining to a specific language.

Simultaneity means that grammatical features of a sign are performed

together at a given time. In English, the plural markings are commonly

a y-nq- Yes/No question

147

marked with a /s/ morpheme. However, in ShSL plural markings are

marked by adding the sign ETC and a repeated movement. For

example, CAR + ETC. Another example, the sign PEOPLE the /C/HS is

repeated UP-Down, but for a single person the same handshape is used

but with a single movement. This is a sample of simultaneity in ShSL.

C. Temporality and Deixis:

1. Topic is also established first before the conversation, and then the

discourse of the conversation will follow. Topic can be a theme, a

person, a thing, etc in a conversation. The topic positions the

referents in the signing space. For example, a signer in his story

about his teachers and his Principal. The signer will place the topic

(the teacher) in his right side of the signing space and the

Principal in the opposite direction. Similarly, for an event and an

object, the topic is established first before the conversation.

2. Time grammatical tenses are deictically referred to by the

proximity to the signer. The time-line in ShSL stretches from behind

the signer's right shoulder to the neutral space. Temporal markings

are marked within this stretch of space. TODAY is signed just in

front of the signer, TOMORROW is signed which a short and fast

movement and YESTERDAY/BEFORE and PAST is signed by

extending the handshape upwards way back from the signer's

right shoulder. The sign of BEFORE is not index based. It is signed

with /B/ HS. A sign like LONG TIME AGO is signed as the sign -

YESTERDAY, but with a bigger movement that stretches a little

further along with an eye-gaze fixation. Types of calendric units in

ShSL are:

v. THIS YEAR

vi. LASTYEAR

3. Tense: In contrast with English language where the tenses are

marked by adding morphemes to the verbs however, ShSL tense

marking is different. In ShSL tense are marked in combination with

lexical items such as YESTERDAY, TODAY, and TOMORROW.

Similarly, it uses the same mechanism for the present and future

tenses. This is similar to BSL13. Tense in ShSL is preverbal. Based on

ShSL data, the differences between the past, present, and future

tense in the verbs like SLEEP/SLEPT, SEE/SAW. GO/WENT are

indicated by actions emphasising with a head movement. NMA

feature of eyegaze and head lift are used to show future tense.

D: Spatial Deixis:

Deixis in ShSL are indexical signs. Deictic function in a language is

described by Lyons (1977, 637) as follows: "By deixis is meant the location

and identification of persons, objects events, processes and activities

being talked about, or referred to, in relation to the spatiotemporal

context created and sustained by the act of utterance and the

participation in it, typically, of a single speaker and at lea one

addresseel6" (p-167). Deictic elements can be described as pointing to

something in the situation or context of utterance. What are pointed to is

time, location, and person. Meier (1990) points out that "deictic

morphemes and their accompanying gestures anchor the reference of

an utterance in space and time".

In ShSL persons are deictically ref~rred to by their location. The

right and left side of the Neutral space act as the point-of reference. In

a conversation, usually the second person SHE is pointed to the right side

of the signer's body. The difference of THIS /HERE and THAT /THERE, is a

difference of propinquity to the signer. The sign THIS occurs in close

proximity to the signer, whereas the sign THAT is extended away from the

signer.

E: Classifier

Classifier is a word or a morpheme which classify a noun

according to its meaning. Spence & Woll (1998) pointed out that the

term 'classifier' meet the following criteria: (a) they refer to a group that

shares some common features; (b) they are proform (that is, they

substitute for more specific signs); and (c) they occur in verbs of motion

and or location" (p-47-48). Sinha (2000) in his description.of ISL points

out that classifiers are compounded (as it is shown above) as well as

included in the verbs. There are several categories of classifiers in ShSL

such as surface, shape, tracing and quantifiers, etc. ShSL lexicon shows

that signs with similar meanings have similar handshapes configurations.

These classifiers are broadly categorized as follows:

• Classifier I AI is used to show objects like, vehicles, bicycle, etc. It is

also incorporated in the verbs like for example RUN, etc

• Classifier I A&/ is used to demonstrate the importance of public

figures, heads of office, heads of schools, etc.

• Classifier /C/ is used to show person, and it is also used to show

objects, for example, CUPS, etc.

• Classifier/G/ is used for pronouns, and various shapes. For

example, nouns like ROOM, COMPUTER etc.

• Classifier /B/ is used to show square shape like TABLE, etc. it is also

used to differentiate between younger sister and elder sister, etc.

• Classifier /0/is used to show objects like for tube-like shapes like

PIPES, STICK etc.

• Classifier /VI is used to show two people walking, for double, etc.

• Classifier /4/ is used to show objects like GATE, STRIPES (black &

white stripes) etc.

• Classifier /5/ is used like the classifier /4/. It is also used for plural

markings, etc.

• Classifier /1/ is used to show THIN, WEAK, etc.

• Classifier /Y I is used for AEROPLANES, etc.

• Classifier /L/ is used to represent shapes like PICTURES,

PHOTOGRAPHS, a plot of land etc.

F: Open- word class

l . Directional signs: ShSL exhibits the presence of directional signs.

Directional signs are for some verbs. For example, GIVE, TAKE,

HELP, ASK, TELL TEACH, PULL, PUSH, etc.

2. Signs with changing place of articulation: ShSL also consists of

signs that do not occur in a single location. That is at the initial

position a sign may originate in one location and completed in

another, in its course of articulation. For example signs like,

DEVELOP, GROW, etc.

3. Nouns receiving an action: There are nouns receiving an action,

which can be built into the verb in BSL. (Spence & WoiL 1998). In

such cases, the sign order is not relevant, for instance whether

WASH-FACE OR FACE-WASH is the right order because FACE­

WASH is signed as a single unit. In ShSL such signs also exist in the

lexicon. For example, in words like SMOKE-CIGARETIE (as it is in

BSL), NOSE-SMELL BIRD-FLY, etc.

4. Signs that cannot be modified in Space: There are several signs in

ShSL that cannot be modified in space. These are signs that have

fixed location either through contact with the body or in relation

to the body. For example, MOTHER COLOUR, WOMAN, GIRL

FATHER, ETC

152

5. Signs with changes in handshape: There are signs where

handshape changes. For example signs like DELETE, COMPLETE,

MORNING, etc. These signs begin with I AI handshape which is

subsequently released to a /5/ handshape. MORNING starts with

/sA/ HS and released to a /5/.

G: Numerals

Cardinal numbers from one to ten in ShSL are represented by the

following handshapes. These are /G/, /V/, /W/, /4/, /5/, /1/, /bC/, /8a/,

/9/ (this is similar to HS /A&/ but with a different orientation) and /G/ +

101 respectively. The cardinal numbers are also included in the

dictionary.

Numbers in ShSL are incorporated in the nouns and the verbs. For

example, the verb WALK is signed with a V/2 HS classifying two people

are walking, and if three people are walking, it is sign with a 3/W HS are

walking. If a single person is walking, it is signed as with a /G/ HS,

classifying one person is walking. In nouns, the numbers occurs in the

final position. For example:

In ShSL: Index self-BOOK TEN HAVE

I have ten books

ShSL grammatical structures is similar to other sign languages, for

instance it does not possessed signs like articles, conjunctions, etc which

are the essential elements in any spoken languagesl?. For example, THE

GIRL GAVE THE BOOK TO THE BOY, in ShSL, the articles are omitted like

GIRL BOY BOOK GAVE. These grammatical elements are usually

articulated through fingerspellings in classroom instructions on English

language.

These structures mentioned above reveal that ShSL is not derived

from the spoken languages, but bears a resemblance to ISL syntactic

structures. Stokoe (1980) points out that "generative-transformational

grammar is inadequate for sign-'all grammars leak' is a common

linguistic saying. No theorist of language has yet adequately described

the way languages work inside their own systems, let alone the way

they work socially, in human groupings. The point is instead that sign, far

from having no grammar, has such interesting structure and so unusual

a system that it challenges all theories of grammar based only on

spoken language. Equally important is the fact that languages are

much easier to learn and use than to describe or explain" (p 30). It is

important to mention here that young children differ in the articulation

of sign structure, but this is part of the process of sign language

acquisition. Moreover, this is a regular process of language acquisition

where children move from a single sign to two signs and so on.

Schools for the deaf students focus on teaching English assuming

it will be their native language. The structure of sign language is more

influenced by English. Therefore children with mild hearing loss and

those children who acquired deafness at a later stage with no exposure
