The use of prosodic markers to indicate utterance boundaries in American Sign Language interpretation. - 215 p.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--The University of New Mexico, 2007.

Research in spoken languages has shown that speakers use a variety of means to indicate the organization of a message into phrasal units, and that listeners are sensitive to this organization (e.g., Grosz & Hirschberg, 1992; van Donzel, 1999). The organization of the message may be especially critical when language is being transmitted through an interpreter, rather than directly from speaker to listener. In this study, the communication of phrasing in English-to-ASL interpretation was investigated by asking Deaf participants to indicate perceived boundaries as they viewed a video of an interpreted lecture. The locations of these perceived boundaries were then examined for the presence of prosodic markers that might be responsible for the perception of a boundary. This dissertation reports on the characteristics of the markers including their frequency, number, duration, and timing. The most frequent prosodic marker in each of four distinct articulator categories was identified. These markers occurred with high frequency, suggesting their significance in boundary marking. Their average duration was between one-half and one full second.

520 $a Research in spoken languages has shown that speakers use a variety of means to indicate the organization of a message into phrasal units, and that listeners are sensitive to this organization (e.g., Grosz & Hirschberg, 1992; van Donzel, 1999). The organization of the message may be especially critical when language is being transmitted through an interpreter, rather than directly from speaker to listener. In this study, the communication of phrasing in English-to-ASL interpretation was investigated by asking Deaf participants to indicate perceived boundaries as they viewed a video of an interpreted lecture. The locations of these perceived boundaries were then examined for the presence of prosodic markers that might be responsible for the perception of a boundary. This dissertation reports on the characteristics of the markers including their frequency, number, duration, and timing. The most frequent prosodic marker in each of four distinct articulator categories was identified. These markers occurred with high frequency, suggesting their significance in boundary marking. Their average duration was between one-half and one full second.
520 $a An unanticipated finding was the high number of markers that occurred within a two-second interval at perceived boundaries. Most often, between seven and eight prosodic markers were produced, supporting the notion of "layering" in signed languages (Wilbur, 2000). It was anticipated that with so many markers, they would be produced simultaneously or overlapping in time; however, fully one-third were produced sequentially. In addition, analysis demonstrated the precision with which the markers were timed in relation to one another.
520 $a This description of prosodic markers in ASL interpretation contributes to the extremely limited literature on the use of prosody in signed languages (e.g., Baker & Padden, 1978; Boyes-Braem, 1999; Liddell, 1986; Sandler, 1999c), and is also unusual in focusing on the use of phrasing in interpretation. The results presented here provide support for the claim that prosodic structure is exploited in all human languages, regardless of the modality of expression.
