@ScotsDeaf We collected data from 8 cities across the UK (incl. London) and we asked the participants for their signs for those 8 city place-names to explore the claim that signers in cities like Bristol prefer a different sign to those who live outside Br
Apparently, the most upsetting thing for them is *not* the loss of Scottish Sign Language in itself, but the fact we are highlighting Southern-English Sign Language being promoted heavily in place of Scottish Sign Language. https://t.co/YWuzpWEfSK
@Saltbar @paulbelmontesli @MrDow88 Whereas in Scotland, they are saying the Southern-English Sign Language is an indigenous language of Scotland. If you look at this, they are saying SESL is now the standard: https://t.co/YWuzpWEfSK
@foulkes_helen @NickPalfreyman Endonym (local /in group) versus exonym (out group) signs? We discuss it here but let me know if you want more info! https://t.co/Feek0Ep2fR

It would be great to see Scottish government support for more documentation of Scottish varieties of sign language, as we know that traditional sign language variation across the UK is diminishing (Stamp et al., 2014). https://t.co/Feek0Eouqj
@remcoknooi @JWGrieve @nerdpro Well we had a paper published in PLOS One about it: https://t.co/Feek0Eouqj We argued that lexical variation does identity work in British Sign Language. Journal of LVC wouldn't accept it because it is lexical change, so unfo
@joshisanonymous @rosestamp @katie__mudd The clustering is based on the number of shared signs produced in a lexical elicitation task. Some participants don't pattern with others from their region, but most do. https://t.co/Feek0Eouqj
@thai101 @dapiridoobman We should write this up in some form: https://t.co/SwtvboFLys Although we do mention this in passing too in Stamp et al. (2014): https://t.co/Feek0Eouqj

@emmafc74 @Daniolgaf @RobDrummond We have done quite a bit of work on variation in vocabulary, but this also needs a lot more work! https://t.co/Feek0Eouqj
@MsLoloJ @Saltbar @ldaguk @leicesterdeaf @bjfletcher Our research has found that some placenames show endonym/exonym patterns in BSL: the signs preferred by local people are sometimes different from the signs used by people outside that community. https://

A thra bo fi ar leiafroedd ieithyddol Cymru, wedi mynd lawr twll cwningen BSL. Mae'r erthygl yma'n trafod gwahaniaethau daearyddol yn lexicon BSL. Mor ddiddorol, ond ydi'r Gymraeg yn cael effaith ar arwyddion BSL yn Nghymru o gwbl? https://t.co/l7KpKBg3u
@sarahshulist Yes, we published in PLOS One! https://t.co/Feek0E6T1J
@AlisonHendry16 You can read about our work on lexical variation and change in BSL here: https://t.co/Feek0Eouqj
@ktquiet @DingemanseMark We had similar problems with an article by my former PhD student @rosestamp. Sign language linguistics and sociolinguistics journals wouldn’t accept it. Eventually we published it here: https://t.co/Feek0Eouqj
@rj_peaks @DCAL_UCL @rosestamp Stamp et al. 2014 documented variation and change in BSL signs for colours, countries, numbers and UK placenames, using the #bslcorpus (2/5) https://t.co/jGTX91vvpr

@mashedradish We found a strong effect for some UK city place name signs in British Sign Language, with some variants favoured by residents, and different variants by non-locals. https://t.co/UYKShzwQGT
@JRKASSTAN @RobinsonJustyna @JWGrieve @sj2915 Well it worked for us: https://t.co/PJsoVQmOVN
Wow, nearly 7000 views for our work on BSL lexical variation & change! @rosestamp @jordanfenlonlx @kearsycormier https://t.co/i10V2uujE0
@GTCS_Tom But both BSL and ASL have regional dialects, yes: https://t.co/PJsoVQEpNl
@ricardigan @terpatron9000 @ResearchRowena @AdamCSchembri Borrowings do happen, but there are native signs too http://t.co/n96ph7aqBw
