ABSTRACT
The
Traditional Type Grammar for Cyprus Sign Language (CSL) is the
first among three educational products in DVD as well as in conventional
book form with paedagogic expedience and utility. These products have
been the goal of an official linguistic project on CSL documentation; the
other two products being the CSL Conceptual Lexicon and the CSL Communicative
Grammar.
The three-year-project (2007-2010) on CSL documentation being implemented
by the Cyprus Ministry of Education and Culture with collaboration
of the Cyprus School for the Deaf and the Cyprus Federation of the Deaf,
pertaining to Law 66(I)2006 regarding official recognition of CSL, aims to
a systematic and complete documentation of CSL lexicon and grammar by
means of theoretical and applied linguistics.
CSL documentation meets the following standards:
1.
Reliable reference basis for promoting the instrumental (communicative-
functional) as well as the symbolic (sociocultural) value of CSL;
2.Reliable and effective background for educating the Deaf in Cyprus
through bilingual education approach (via CSL & Greek);
3.Basis for systematic and methodic teaching and learning of CSL; and
4.Reliable reference for training interpreters of CSL/Greek as well as
CSL trainers for adults.
Traditional type grammar for CSL is an educational tool describing and
explaining the CSL structure and function in a systematic, brief and clear
pattern. It is designed chiefly for teachers and other professionals participating
in the education of the Deaf in Cyprus. The traditional character has to
do with the four conventional chapters that traditionally shape the framework
of such works: cherology (respective to phonology), typology, etymology
and syntax.
The first chapter (cherology) deals with the constitutive elements of CSL
words. It begins with parameters, i.e. handshape, orientation, location and
movement, it goes on with syllables and two-handed CSL words, and it
closes with the nonmanual elements.
The second chapter (typology) deals with word changes in CSL. It begins
with classification of CSL words in parts of manual speech, it goes on with
non-inflectional words, then with inflectional words with stable root, and it
closes with inflectional words with variable root.
The third chapter (etymology) deals with CSL word formation. It begins
with word origin, it goes on with word derivation and it closes with word
composition.
The fourth chapter (syntax) deals with CSL sentence structure and function.
In fact, cherology, typology and etymology implications are fully implemented
in syntax. It begins with simple CSL sentences, presenting the
sentence terms and classifying simple CSL sentences in categories, it goes
on with complex sentences, then it presents issues on sentence modulation
according to aktionsart, aspect, tense and mood, and it closes with sentence
binding in paratactic and hypotactic manner.
