New Perspectives on the History of American Sign Language
Examinations of the etymology of American Sign Language have typically involved superficial analyses of signs as they exist over a short period of time. While it is widely known that ASL is related to French Sign Language, there has yet to be a comprehensive study of this historic relationship between their lexicons. This article presents preliminary results of an exhaustive study of historic documents in French Sign Language and American Sign Language, as well as fieldwork in regions in France and the United States that will ultimately culminate in a historic dictionary of American Sign Language. We present evidence of relationships in six categories and conclude that a thorough account of the history of ASL requires a systematic examination of contemporary and historic documents in both languages.

Être sourd dans un monde entendant : destin, rencontre, transmission et rupture
Quatre concepts permettent aux sourds de penser leur présence dans un monde entendant. Le destin qui préside à leur naissance. La rencontre avec d'autres sourds. La transmission des traits langagiers et culturels de la surdimutité. La rupture, menace qui pèse à tout instant sur la transmission. Ce système de représentations et son contexte social sont analysés sous différents angles, depuis un mythe d'origine jusqu'aux formes actuelles de la transmission et de la rupture. Four concepts enable the deaf to think their destiny in a world of non-deaf people : fate that présides over their birth ; meeting with other deaf people ; transmission of linguistic and cultural characteristics of deaf-muteness ; rupture that continually threatens transmission. This System of représentations and its social context are analysed from various points of view ranging from the myth of origin to the présent forms of transmission and rupture. Vier Konzepte erlauben den Tauben ihr Dasein in einer Welt von Nichttauben zu denken : das Schicksal, das über ihre Geburt ; das Treffen mit anderen Tauben wacht ; die Überlieferung der sprachlichen und kulturellen Kennzeichen der Taubstummheit ; der Bruch, der jederzeit die Überlieferung bedroht. Dieses System von Darstellungen und sein soziales Umfeld werden in verschiedenen Hinsichten untersucht, von dem Herkunftsmythos bis zu den gegenwärtigen Überlieferungs- und Bruchsformen.
