LING 029. Sign Language Literature

(Cross-listed as CPLT 029 )
We look at sign language literature, comparing to spoken language literature with respect to: storytelling methods, definitions of rhyme, notions of closure, role of paralinguistic features, relationship of storyteller to audience, and role of stories in their communities. We examine linguistic creativity in storytelling, humor, poetry, and taboo language across modalities.
