MSL has two distinct modes of expreising pronominal relationships: manual pronouns (including indexical, incorporated, classifiers, initialized, and possessives) and non-manual pronouns, such as linguistically significant eye-gazes and body shifts. But the study of pronominal usage in MSL must also include the sociolinguistic situation of the language, especially considering the widespread bilingualism of its users. With respect to pronouns, the pervasiveness of Spanish in the daily lives of MSL users shows itself primarily in the relexification of some Spanish pronominals into the MSL system, resulting in syntactic variability. The study of pronouns in MSL is thus fruitful not only for the linguistic phenomena that it illustrates and its bearing on cross-linguistic pron...

Two themes emerged from the group’s 14, 000 messages posted over a four-month period: pandemic-related comments and comments stemming from the perspective of the lived reality of a Deaf person, i.e., from a Deaf culture perspective. Discourse analysis, augmented by the principles of the ethnography of communication, was used to analyze the data. The data suggest that Kazakhstani Deaf conform to many cross-national Deaf cultural norms, including proficiency in Russian Sign Language (RSL), their national sign language, concurrent literacy in written Russian, and awareness of RSL-using Deaf communities in other countries of the former Soviet Union. There was st...

The study of pronouns in MSL is thus fruitful not only for the linguistic phenomena that it illustrates and its bearing on cross-linguistic pronominal repr:aentations in sign languages, but also for the sociolinguistic insights it provides into the life of the Mexican deaf.
