Detail Gestur dan bahasa isyarat: temuan dari suatu korpus bisindo = Gesture and sign language: findings from a corpus of bisindo   Oleh:  Palfreyman, Nick Jenis: Article from Proceeding Dalam koleksi: KOLITA 16: Konferensi Linguistik Tahunan Atma Jaya Keenam Belas Tingkat Internasional, page 16-22. Fulltext: 16-22 Nick Palfreyman.pdf (653.27KB) Isi artikel Cross-linguistically, and in many different situations, we can see speakers using their hands to some degree when they speak, and these gestures have recently received considerable attention in the literature (Goldin-Meadow 2003, Kendon 2004, McNeill 2005). Yet if we remove the sound element of an utterance from a speaker who uses co-speech gestures, and look only at the gestures, it is usually impossible to recreate the content of the utterance in full. Conversely, sign language users are able to converse without sound, using only the visual-gestural channel. It is clear, therefore, that the sign language used by deaf people is not the same as the gestures used by hearing speakers. But what is the relationship between the two? This paper considers the relationship between gesture and one particular signed language: Indonesian Sign Language (BISINDO, or Bahasa Isyarat Indonesia). I begin with an outline of the theory on gesture, using examples from a corpus of BISINDO (Palfreyman and Isnaini 2018) to illustrate different kinds of gesture such as emblems and beats. I then consider where gestures can be seen in BISINDO, before turning to examples of grammaticalisation that occur in the grammatical domain of negation, where at least four different negative signs can be traced to gestures. One of these signs – TIDAK – derives from a gesture used across Indonesia, and sometimes cliticises to host predicates, while a second particle (TIDAK:2) is found in Pontianak and Singaraja, and derives from a local gesture in each case. Gesture is an important area for linguistics, because it forces us to ask questions about matters such as the relationship between form and meaning, the means by which this relationship becomes conventionalised, and the differences between signed and spoken languages. The study of gesture is itself an under-researched field in Indonesia, and I conclude the presentation with reference to the theory of composite utterances (Enfield 2009, Ferrara and Johnston 2014), which can encourage researchers to observe and capture the complex multimodal nature of language.
