DIFFERENCES AND SIMILARITIES IN SIGNED TRANSLATION ACROSS DIFFERENT LANGUAGES

##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.main##

Abstrak:

Signed translation — the process of translating between spoken and signed languages — is a complex form of linguistic and cultural mediation that ensures accessibility for the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing communities. While all sign languages share visual-spatial modalities, they differ substantially in grammar, syntax, and cultural expression. Examining signed translation across multiple linguistic contexts — such as American Sign Language (ASL), British Sign Language (BSL), Japanese Sign Language (JSL), Russian Sign Language (RSL), and Uzbek Sign Language (UZSL) — reveals both universal similarities and distinct structural differences shaped by history, culture, and linguistic evolution [1].
