Journal Article
Starting Sign Language Research from Scratch
2024
Overview
Rachel Mayberry, a linguistics professor and director of the MultiModal Language Development Lab at the University of CA San Diego, reflects on her early experiences in sign language research. She describes the physical labor involved in conducting research before the digital age, such as searching for books and journals in the library and using reel-to-reel and cassette recorders for videotaping. Mayberry shares her first sign language experiment, comparing concreteness ratings for English words with iconicity ratings for their ASL translations. She also discusses the teachers and scholars who supported her along the way, including Richard Silverman, who encouraged her to pursue sign language research. Mayberry highlights the importance of sign language and the challenges faced by deaf individuals in communication. She concludes by discussing her doctoral research on ASL comprehension and the critical period for language acquisition.
