“…This includes privacy concerns about who, where and what can or cannot be captured on camera. Researchers must also accurately capture the embodied communication of signers, as well as the social ecology and environmental context in which the interaction unfolds (Kusters, et al, 2016;Moriarty, 2020b). This requires technical expertise relating to camera angles, shot frames and mobility with camcorders, as well as interpersonal sensitivity for different signers and their relationships.…”

“…Considering the crosslinguistic similarities and the prevalence of iconicity, it is not surprising that signers from distinct countries, e.g. the US and France (Clerc, 1852), South Korea, the Netherlands, Uzbekistan, and Hong Kong (Byun et al, 2018), and France, Germany, the US, the UK, Indonesia, Australia, and India (Moriarty, 2020), communicate with each other with relative ease. Before the influential proposition by Saussure (1916Saussure ( /1986 early in the 20th century that arbitrariness is a defining feature of languages, signing intellectuals frequently described all sign languages as parts of the same universal and natural [iconic] language (e.g.…”

This study examines whether a multi-faceted construct of language dominance developed for spoken languages applies to signed language bilinguals. Sign languages have been described as highly iconic and relatively similar to each other compared to spoken languages. Attaining fluency in the signed modality might well require considerably less effort, and balanced bilingualism may be more prevalent in the signed modality. Language dominance constructs, as currently understood, might differ in the spoken and signed modality. Forty bilinguals with two sign languages responded to a language dominance questionnaire developed for spoken languages and performed a phonological fluency (sign generation) task. Language dominance levels were found to vary in the signed modality. The correlation between reported dominance levels and the number of signs generated in each sign language was significant, suggesting that the construct of language dominance tested is robust and independent of modality.

“…The interdisciplinary flexibility which is inherent within the foundations of linguistic ethnography (Rampton et al., 2015) enables ethnographers to adapt their approaches which can offer an opportunity for the “diversification of…approaches to data collection” as exemplified by Moriarty’s (2020) use of mobile filmmaking and smartphones when conducting linguistic ethnographies of signing deaf people. Adopting a flexible approach also ensures that collaborators have the agency and freedom to make choices during the data collection, which can be approached with fluidity.…”

Methodological Principles for Researching Multilingually: Reflections on Linguistic Ethnography

Linguistic ethnography provides insight into how communication occurs between individuals and institutions, while situating these local actions within wider social, political and historical contexts (Copland & Creese, 2015) and has proven to be a particularly effective tool for developing our understanding of individuals’ lived multilingual realities (see Unamuno, 2014) and societal multilingualism. Turning the ‘reflexive gaze’ that is central to ethnography (Clifford & Marcus, 1986) back onto linguistic ethnography itself, we argue that where complex multilingual interactions are the object of study, more attention must be given to how multilingualism affects each aspect of the process of actually doing linguistic ethnography. In this paper we outline the development of three principles that we put forward as being essential in developing and conducting contemporary linguistic ethnography in multilingual settings. The principles are: 1) Researching multilingually; 2) Researching collaboratively; and 3) Researching responsively.
