中国大陆手语语言学研究现状

虽然近些年来聋人手语的语言地位在中国大陆逐渐得到认可,针对手语的研究也日渐丰富,但同美国及欧洲等国家相比,中国大陆的手语研究还相对落后,尤其是手语的语言学研究。有鉴于此,本文试图从语音、形态、语义、语用、句法及其历史发展和演化这几个部分对现阶段中国大陆的手语语言学研究做个归纳总结。总的来说,中国大陆手语语音学、音位学和形态学的研究已初见规模,而手语语义学和句法学只有零散的研究,手语语用学的研究则几乎为零。

Current Linguistic Studies on Sign Language in Mainland China

Compared with that of America and some European countries, the sign language study of mainland China still falls behind, especially the linguistic study on sign language though more people have gradually recognized the language status of sign language in mainland China and more researches on sign language have been made. In view of the situation, the author attempts to summarize the current linguistic studies on sign language in mainland China, covering its phonetics, phonology, morphology, semantics, pragmatics, syntax and historical changes. On the whole, sign language studies on phonetics, phonology and morphology in mainland China have made considerable achievements, but those on semantics and syntax have just gained some scattered findings, while the study on pragmatics is almost equal to zero.
