Beyond languages, beyond modalities: transforming the study of semiotic repertoires
TL;DR: The authors argue that the lens of semiotic repertoires enables synergies to be identified and provides a holistic focus on action that is both multilingual and multimodal, and they discuss key assumptions and analytical developments that have shaped the sociolinguistic study of signed and spoken language multilingualism as separate from different strands of multimodality studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Marginalisation of Finely Tuned Semiotic Practices and Misunderstandings in Relation to (Signed) Languages and Deafness
TL;DR: This paper suggests, through practical examples, how multimodally oriented research could enrich its view by recognising communication-practices inside visually oriented domains, as well as research in the area, instead of considering D/deaf and sign language related research as a specialised area of research.
Journal ArticleDOI

Elina Tapio,Elina Tapio +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the concept of chaining is defined as the patterned, routine ways of interlinear communication in visually oriented communities of sign language users, and the concept is used to describe the languaging in the context of visually oriented sign language use.
Journal ArticleDOI
Appropriating a new language learning approach: Processes of resemiotisation

Book ChapterDOI
When One of Your Languages is not Recognized as a Language at all
Elina Tapio,Ritva Takkinen +1 more
TL;DR: Sign language was excluded from education because it was considered a form of gesturing that would hinder children from learning speech, thus preventing them from gaining a full human status as mentioned in this paper, and deafness was seen as a condition to be cured.
