| Popis: | Language contact is ubiquitous in language use, and can be explained by cen- tering language users and appealing to language ideologies. This dissertation takes this track by asking the question, Who thinks what about English mouthing in American Sign Language (ASL)? Mouthing here refers to language contact in the form of mouth patterns in sign languages that are recognisable as linked to (spe- cific) spoken language words. Variation in experiences with ASL and English in the DHH community and mouthing have not received much treatment in ASL linguis- tics. This dissertation contributes to both topics by aiming to: (i) capture and cate- gorise heterogeneity in DHH experience with ASL and English in the United States (ii) explore the relationship between DHH experiences and attitude to mouthing and (iii) explore the relationship between experiences of language mixing and at- titude to mouthing. These goals are achieved by bringing together insights from sign language linguistics, social perception (of spoken languages), and anthropol- ogy. This broadens the general understanding of how attitudes arise from the ex- periences of individuals by including DHH people, creates a foundation for inves- tigating and understanding cross-modal language contact, and models a means of engaging with sign language use that treats all DHH individuals equally while centering heterogeneity. |
