Next up: Dr Melanie McKay-Cody “Our Past and Present in Linguistic Study of Intergenerational Transmission of North American Indian Sign Language” #HDLS14
McKay-Cody starts with a petroglyph which represented a sign used by Plains peoples for prayer. She then shows us a sign dated back to 6000 BCE for "hunger" which is still used in Plains and Great Basin communities #HDLS14
I had to take a calm-dog-down break while i prep to see @MaureenKosse & @rebeccalee345 but now my dog is straight up freaking out so i’m down a hand for tweeting 😭
I was in too many places at once yesterday to livetweet #HDLS14, but i’m gonna try today! i’m especially looking forward to my collaborator/roommate @ryanlepic’s keynote, @c_borstell + @fbisnath’s talk on islands (not that kind!), and @MaureenKosse’s talk on dogwhistles!!
first up today @jahochcam, Becker, & Catt on ASL Signbank (funfact: the pronunciation of julie’s last name in Eng. was variable/Germany amongst us hearings, but then my husband @mlipkin interviewed her for @MarketplaceTech & he had to ask her how they should say it (hock-sang!)
@jahochcam starts by telling us about the etymology of Signbank 🤩, & focused on the methodological challenges of capturing phonological and semantic relations, which we know are dynamic, in a static-y format! #HDLS14
