Educational interpreters are language models for Deaf students. For some Deaf students, their interpreter is their only language model for a signed language. This workshop will help you explore the meaning of being a ‘language model’ and how this modeling impacts students acquiring at least two languages within the American school system, American Sign Language and English. The workshop then introduces concepts from cognitive linguistics to analyze how language provides access to knowledge structures through categorization and how each language provides specific ways of viewing, or construing, that knowledge. With this foundation in place, you will then review the depictive components of ASL. We will review how each concept is used in the spoken language community, and then how the Deaf community has further specified and evolved these depictions into language and modality-specific units.
Educational Objectives:
Participants will be able to define metonymy and give one example of how it is used in depictive devices in ASL
Participants will be able to demonstrate how the English word photosynthesis can be metonymically depicted in ASL
