| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Our syntactic analysis revealed the linguistic properties of manual and non-manual expressions used for expressing modality, negation, ellipsis, and topicalization. A documentation project of Miyakubo Sign Language, a shared sign language in Ehime, has been conducted. In a joint project with a school for the deaf, we have created a corpus of deaf children and their parents, and preliminary observations were presented at an international conference. Our L2 team conducted research on L2 learning of Japanese Sign Language (JSL), and discussed possible improvements of college-level JSL curriculum. Various results of our research project were incorporated into an introductory textbook of sign linguistics (in Japanese and JSL) and a weekly JSL class on the national TV station. Deaf members played major roles in most of those research activities. Over two years, we organized sign linguistics workshops where deaf and hearing participants collaborated to describe linguistic patterns of JSL.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
先行研究ではまとまった記述がないモダリティ・否定・省略などの言語現象について、日本手話の文法パターンの基礎データをまとめ、国内外の手話言語学関連学会や学術誌で発表できた意義は大きい。進行中のろう親子の対話動画コーパス作成への海外研究者の関心も高い。本研究で得られた知見は、日本手話版DVD付の手話言語学概論書や、代表者が監修を務めるNHK Eテレ「みんなの手話」に活かされている。宮窪手話の研究成果は一般雑誌や海外のウェブ記事・NHKドキュメンタリー番組で取り上げられた。宮窪手話・ろう児の手話発達・かな文字由来の手話研究などは、ろう者の共同研究者が主体となって調査・分析・発表を行った。
