520 $a Chapter I provides a historical overview of the community of people who use ASL and their continuing struggle for acceptance of their language.
520 $a Chapter II introduces the reader to the literature on nonmanual behaviors in ASL and critiques aspects of that research, including its use of minimal pair analysis and its lack of descriptive accuracy.
520 $a Chapter III examines underlying assumptions of the research described in Chapter II and states these assumptions in the form of sixteen hypotheses. These hypotheses are then used to examine new data from conversations in Chapter V.
520 $a This dissertation argues for a microanalytic, conversation-based approach to the study of nonmanual behaviors in American Sign Language (ASL) and illustrates this approach with a study of questions. Different configurations of nonmanual behaviors, defined collectively as movements and positions of a signer's face, head, torso, and eye gaze, are found to co-occur with yes-no questions, wh-questions, and wh-rhetorical questions. These configurations and their respective components are examined in detail.
520 $a The descriptive systems and methods used to code this data are presented in Chapter IV. Particular attention is given to facial behavior, using a modification of Ekman & Friesen's Facial Action Coding System which includes measurement of each action's actual onset and offset, apex onset and offset, and intensity level.
520 $a Chapter V analyzes the results of this precise coding of signers' behaviors during three types of questions. Distinctive configurations of nonmanual behaviors functioning as syntactic signals are found to occur with each type. Evidence is presented that the preceding syntactic environment, pragmatic function of the utterance, and/or presence of speaker emotion can alter the form or intensity of the signal.
520 $a It is also found that facial and head components of the signal generally appear before the onset of the manual sign(s). A neuromechanical explanation for the different onset times of these behaviors suggests that, in the production of certain questions, neural commands to the facial muscles are sent before corresponding commands are sent to the hands and arms. The end result is seen as enabling both effective information processing and efficient message transmission.
