Most signed languages that have been studied to this date have been found to have a modest conventionalized vocabulary size when compared to their spoken counterparts (Johnston and Napier, 2010). In the case of Hong Kong Sign Language (HKSL), signers to a large extent do not use fingerspelling to represent words in Cantonese in the way that American Sign Language (ASL) signers represent English. Hearing interpreters who work from spoken Cantonese to HKSL report that it is challenging, especially in professional settings such as medical, legal and television news broadcasts, where a large number of Cantonese specialized vocabulary are used.This study approaches this real-world problem by foregrounding the rich semiotic resources in the Deaf community of Hong Kong. Deaf signers are known to be able to communicate with each other about various concepts even without conventionalized signs. Ten Deaf individuals, renowned for their written Chinese and HKSL skills, were invited to translate Chinese passages with specialized and cultural-specific concepts in a monologic setting. With discourse analysis as a framework, I analyzed patterns emerging from their strategies in translating these concepts. Data from pre-translation preparation and retrospective interviews were collected to provide a full picture of the translation process and cognitive processes behind the translation strategies.The major findings of this study are: 1) A taxonomy of strategies that feature depiction, borrowing and metonymic loans from Chinese, writing and mouthing; 2) Employment of multisemiotic and multimodal resources give intended viewers access to different facets of meaning; 3) Repeated renditions of the same concepts gives rise to condensed, abbreviated nonce expressions. This study highlights the linguistic creativity and flexibility of Deaf translators. Observations from this study serve as a point of reference for hearing interpreters as well as policy makers that formulate interpretation service provision and assessment.
